"Pakistan overcame a brief batting collapse on the field and a tumultuous period off it to beat the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by 41 runs and qualify for the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup cricket tournament in Dubai. In a match that was once uncertain, then delayed by an hour, Pakistan posted 146-9 in their 20 overs at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday."
"Despite losing three early wickets, the UAE looked in a position to hand Pakistan a shock defeat as Rahul Chopra 35 (35) and Dhruv Parashar 20 (23) formed a 48-run partnership. However, when fast bowler Haris Rauf dismissed Parashar in the 14th over, the UAE's wickets fell in a heap over the next 22 deliveries. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Abrar Ahmed and Rauf took two wickets apiece."
