UAE Cricket touches new heights in T20I cricket, as the Associate nation registers it's first-ever T20I win over Bangladesh. The Muhammad Waseem-led side chased down the target of 206 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday, May 19, and the three-match series is now levelled at 1-1.
"I'm speechless right now. I'm absolutely delighted that we've managed to defeat Bangladesh. We were confident we could chase down the total, knowing the conditions well — and in the end, we pulled it off," said Muhammad Waseem, after winning the Player of the Match award.
"We stuck to our game plan, and I focused on playing my natural game while trying to bat deep. I'm honestly at a loss for words. We were hoping for a six in that final over, and thankfully it came. In the next game, we'll continue to back our strengths," he added.
