UAE VS BAN - 2nd T20I, Bangladesh tour of United Arab Emirates, 2022

Nurul receives the trophy. Bangladesh 2 -- 0 UAE! The scoreline isn't a surprise but the visitors had to fight hard to win the first game. They were a lot more clinical today. UAE can take a lot of positives from these two matches heading into the World Cup. Bangladesh will travel to New Zealand for a tri-series featuring Pakistan and NZ before the mega event. On that note, it's time to bring the curtains down on this series. Until next time, goodbye...

Nurul Hasan | Bangladesh captain: I am feeling good, the whole team played really well. All the boys were keen to play well. It's a great effort from the boys, I think it'll help for the World Cup. Winning is a habit, I think this will help us in New Zealand and World Cup.

Mehidy Miraz is the Player of the Match

Chundangapoyil Rizwan | UAE captain: Unfortunately, didn't go our way. We were short by some runs in the powerplay and we lost a lot of wickets, that was the difference. They bowled in the right channels and they showed their quality. Credit to them. It's a learning curve for us. If we play more matches like this, we'll improve. It was patch-up work, we were trying to build a partnership. I'd like to take this experience for the World Cup. We will travel to Australia within a couple of days and we have a couple of practice games.

Robin Singh | UAE's Coach: We played inexperienced cricket. The first game was ours, but we played poor shots. We dropped too many catches in both the games and misfielded a lot. We could have restricted them below 150 in both the games. The bowlers were outstanding. We tried to rotate our fast bowlers. We really don't know what conditions we're going to get in Australia. We have a few practice games to get used to the conditions. Middle order is an area of concern for me. Ayan and Karthik are the two outstanding guys. Basil has promised a lot and he delivered. He batted really well. CP (Rizwan) batted exceptionally, that's a real positive for us.

Sridharan Sriram | Bangladesh's Head Coach: I kept asking them to improve and they did that. We kept things simple today. The ball wasn't getting wet. Credit to the boys for executing today. We wanted to rotate our fast bowlers and that's going to be the theme going forward. There's a tri-series in NZ, it's a different challenge for the boys.

21:30 Local Time, 17:30 GMT, 23:00 IST: Comprehensive win for Bangladesh. 169 was an above-par score and they got off to an excellent start with the ball. Chirag Suri fell to Nasum Ahmed but Muhammad Waseem went after the left-arm spinner by hitting two sixes on the trot. Taskin Ahmed got the ball to move around and he removed Waseem in the final over of the powerplay. Post that, Mosaddek Hossain struck twice in as many balls in his first over to reduce the hosts to 29/4. That's when captain CP Rizwan and Basil Hameed joined hands. The duo stitched a 90-run stand but the asking rate kept increasing. The skipper registered his maiden T20I fifty but UAE were always behind the eight ball. Hang around for the presentations...

Taskin Ahmed to Zawar Farid, 2 runs, very full delivery, driven towards long-off for a couple. Bangladesh win by 32 runs!

Taskin Ahmed to Zawar Farid, no run, shuffles and tries to scoop over short third man, no contact made. It was full and just outside the tramline. Not wided as the batter moved across

Taskin Ahmed to Zawar Farid, wide, another wide outside off, left alone

Taskin Ahmed to CP Rizwan, 2 wides, sprays one well wide of off, Nurul Hasan dives full-length to his right to stop it

Taskin Ahmed to Zawar Farid, 1 run, in-angler, Zawar Farid goes for the expansive drive and inside-edges to fine leg

Taskin Ahmed to Zawar Farid, FOUR, moves across to scoop. Taskin Ahmed sees that, shortens his length and bowls it wider. Farid gets enough wood on it and the ball flies over vacant first slip

The physio is out to have a look at Nurul Hasan. The keeper dived across and the ball deflected off his fingers

Taskin Ahmed to CP Rizwan, 1 run, yorker, CP Rizwan goes for the drive and the ball might have taken the toe-end of the bat before eluding the keeper to his left

Taskin Ahmed to Zawar Farid, 1 run, shimmies down the pitch and pulls to mid-wicket for a quick single

Ebadot Hossain to CP Rizwan, FOUR, misses the yorker, it's full and in the slot outside off. CP Rizwan shuffles across and batters it between extra cover and mid-off. Was hit in the air but also in the gap. The boundary brings up Rizwan's half-ton!

Ebadot Hossain to CP Rizwan, 2 runs, yorker length, a shuffling CP Rizwan manages to wrist it away through mid-wicket for a couple

Ebadot Hossain to CP Rizwan, no run, superb bowling from Ebadot Hossain. Nails the yorker outside off and it's too quick for CP Rizwan who is late to bring his bat down

Zawar Farid, right handed bat, comes to the crease
