The second T20I between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Scotland will be played on Wednesday, March 13. The Dubai International Cricket Stadium will be hosting this encounter.
UAE displayed a solid all-round performance in the first T20I to take an early lead in the three-match series. They elected to bowl first and did a fine job of restricting the Scottish side to 147/8. George Munsey was the lone fighter for the visitors, scoring 75 off 49 balls.
Junaid Siddique bowled beautifully for UAE and registered figures of 4/14 in his four overs. Aayan Khan and Basil Hameed also chipped in with a couple of scalps each.
In reply, UAE skipper Muhammad Waseem led from the front. He scored an unbeaten 68 off 43 balls at the top of the order which helped his side chase down the total in 17.4 overs with eight wickets in hand.
Scotland’s batters faltered in the first T20I and will need to pull up their socks and put in a much-improved performance in the second game to keep the series alive. UAE, meanwhile, will look to repeat the same performance and wrap up the series on Wednesday itself.
