Canada 14-1 (2 ovs) vs UAE | SCORECARD

Captain Dilpreet Bajwa walks out to open the batting with Yuvraj Samra, while spinner Haider Ali opens the bowling for UAE.

Samra hits the first ball to long-on to get UAE off and running, before Bajwa cuts the next for a four to get off the mark in confident fashion.

Three dots in a row before Bajwa takes a single off the last ball to retain strike.

Pacer Junaid Siddique from the other end. Bajwa keeps out the first two balls before he uses his feet to launch it over the off-side but fails to connect.

Bajwa swats the first ball wide of mid-on for two runs and then eases a full toss through the covers for a four followed by two wides in a row.

Siddique strikes the first blow with the last ball of his first over. Bajwa looks to loft the pacer down the ground but fails to get the distance and is caught at mid-off for 11.
