Canada 131-5 (18 ovs) vs UAE | SCORECARD

Pacer Arfan back into the attack. Just four runs from the first five balls before Movva scoops the last ball over the wicketkeeper for a boundary to salvage the over for Canada.

Canada need some fours and sixes in the last three overs as they look for a total in excess of 150.

Thaker pulls pacer Siddique for a single to deep square leg to bring up his fifty from 40 balls. He immediately blows a kiss to someone in the stands to celebrate the landmark.

Thaker has held the Canada innings together with his resolute innings. He will now need to provide the finishing touches.

However, Siddique again rocks Canada with the vital wicket of Thaker, who miscues the slower ball and is caught in the covers after a good hand of 50 from 41 balls.

Wonderful bowling from Siddique as he concedes four runs from the 18th over. He has excellent figures of 3/21 from his three fours.
