That's that from this game, UAE need to pick themselves up from this loss as Ireland completely outplayed in all departments. UAE will have to find ways to score runs in the powerplay and also in the middle overs someone needs to anchor the innings. On behalf of my friend Karthik Raj, this is Pradeep Somashekar signing off, take care!
Ireland win by 7 wickets with 7 deliveries to spare! Paul Stirling 53(46) | Kevin O'Brien 46(44) | Basil Hameed 3-20!
Could've been a thrilling finish but Campher had other ideas as he seals the game by smashing three boundaries in a row after Hameed removed the set Kevin O'Brien and there were some nerves in the dug out but Ireland complete a convincing victory.
Ireland started off cautiously and then kept moving the scoreboard by nudging around for a few singles but when you have a batter like Stirling you do expect boundaries and that's exactly what he did, kept finding the boundaries and if there were any bad ones he ensured he puts that one away. Kevin O'Brien sort of played the second fiddle.
Stirling was really struggling with the heat of Dubai and was feeling really uncomfortable. Basil Hameed was introduced into the attack and he sends Stirling and Balbirnie in quick succession but it was too little late.
UAE needed early wickets but they never looked like they were probing too much and that allowed Ireland to shut the doors for UAE. It was Kevin O'Brien and Gareth Delany then ensured no further hiccups and Campher finishes things for Ireland to win the game in the end.
That's it, Ireland complete a comprehensive victory as Campher seals the a game with three boundaries and there were jitters at the end after the wicket of O'Brien but Campher holds the nerve and takes his team over the line.

UAE are still in the game, Ireland are digging their own grave here as O'Brien perishes, if UAE can pull off this over then it's this game is wide open for UAE to take it.
