On Sunday, skipper Muhammad Waseem (48, 31 balls, 4 fours, 2 sixes) and his opening partner Tanish Suri (40, 38 balls, 4 fours) were the main batting stars as the UAE made 157 for seven batting first.

Junaid Siddique (2/24), Ali Naseer (2/23), Muhammad Jawadullah (2/25) took two wickets for the UAE while Muhammad Zuhaib claimed one wicket.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia (126/1) beat Qatar (123/9) by nine wickets in the other match on Sunday.
The UAE (four points) will take on second-placed Kuwait (two points) in their third match on Monday.
In the first match on Monday, fifth-placed Bahrain (two points) will take on fourth-placed Saudi Arabia (two points).
