New Delhi, Feb 18 (PTI) Young top-order batter Alishan Sharafu scored a gritty 45 to help UAE post a modest 122 for 6 in their T20 World Cup match against South Africa here on Wednesday.
Put in to bat, UAE, playing their final Group D match with Super 8 hopes already over, couldn’t build on a confident start and lost their way.
Sharafu, though, fought hard, scoring his 45 off 38 balls with five boundaries and a six before being dismissed by pacer Anrich Nortje, who finished with figures of 2 for 28.
South African pacer Corbin Bosch (3/12) claimed three wickets as UAE’s batting never got going. The Proteas and New Zealand have already qualified for the Super 8s from the group.
