UAE Fight Back After Early Batting Collapse

UAE were put into bat on a fresh but slightly two-paced surface and immediately struggled against Oman's seam attack.

Kaleem Sana made the perfect start, removing opener Aryansh Sharma for four and captain Tanish Suri for nine.

At 28/3 in the powerplay, UAE were in serious trouble and appeared to be heading towards a below-par total.

Aayan Afzal Khan attempted to change the momentum, attacking the bowlers with a series of boundaries. However, he fell for 24 while attempting to clear the long-on boundary.

UAE then slipped to 71/5, leaving their innings in danger of collapsing completely.

Syed Haider and Yayin Rai Rescue UAE

Syed Haider and Yayin Rai produced a crucial recovery partnership.

The pair added 68 runs from 41 balls for the sixth wicket, transforming the UAE innings.

Haider was particularly impressive, remaining unbeaten on 42 from 26 balls, including three fours and three sixes.

Yayin Rai also provided valuable acceleration, finding the boundary regularly during the closing stages.

A strong final over yielded 15 runs, lifting UAE to a competitive 154/7.

After being 71/5, reaching 154 gave UAE renewed belief that they had enough runs to defend.

Oman Make Explosive Start

Oman's chase began in spectacular fashion.

Hammad Mirza immediately attacked the UAE new-ball bowlers, taking particular advantage of Muhammad Jawadullah.

Mirza smashed 23 runs from one over, including four fours and a six, as Oman raced to 62/0 after five overs.

The chase appeared to be under complete control.

Mirza reached 48 from only 24 balls, striking six fours and three sixes, before UAE finally found a breakthrough.

Oman Collapse Changes the Match

Muhammad Jawadullah returned to dismiss Mirza, trapping him lbw with a yorker.

The wicket triggered a dramatic collapse.

Pruthvi Machhi was dismissed for eight, while captain Zeeshan Maqsood fell without scoring.

Oman suddenly slipped from 62/0 to 79/4.

UAE's spinners then tightened the pressure.

Nilansh Keswani and Aayan Khan made scoring difficult, and Oman struggled to rotate the strike during the middle overs.

Between overs eight and 14, Oman scored only 38 runs while losing three wickets.

By the 17th over, Oman were 117/7, and UAE appeared to be firmly in control.

Narayan Saishiv and Aryan Bisht Launch Incredible Fightback

With 38 runs required from 24 balls, Narayan Saishiv and Aryan Bisht produced a sensational recovery.

Saishiv attacked the spin, including a powerful inside-out six over extra cover, while Bisht found boundaries against the seamers.

Oman Edge UAE in Sensational Last-Ball Thriller: Asia Cup Emerging Teams 2025, Doha.

                    Doha, November 17, 2025 – In a match that will be replayed in Gulf cricket folklore for years, Oman Emerging pulled off a heart-stopping last-ball victory over UAE Emerging in a Group B cliff-hanger at the Asian Town Cricket Stadium.

            Chasing 155, Oman required 4 off the final delivery with only one wicket in hand. Samay Shrivastava, the 19-year-old all-rounder from Muscat, kept his nerve, squeezed a single past point, and sparked wild scenes as Oman snatched a victory that keeps their semifinal hopes alive while almost certainly eliminating UAE.

Final Scorecard UAE Emerging: 154/7 in 20 overs (Syed Haider 42*, Yayin Rai 35, Aayan Khan 24; Kaleem Sana 3-28, Samay Shrivastava 2-26) Oman Emerging: 155/9 in 20 overs (Hammad Mirza 48, Narayan Saishiv 33, Aryan Bisht 29; Muhammad Irfan 4-31, Nilansh Keswani 2-27) Result: Oman won by 1 wicket (with 0 balls remaining) Player of the Match: Hammad Mirza (Oman).

UAE Fightback with the Bat After Top-Order Wobble

Put in on a fresh, slightly two-paced surface, UAE lost opener Aryansh Sharma (4) and captain Tanish Suri (9) inside the first three overs to Kaleem Sana’s swing. At 28/3 in the powerplay, another modest total looked on the cards.

Aayan Afzal Khan, the highly-rated left-hander, counter-attacked with three successive fours off Zeeshan Maqsood, but fell for 24 trying to clear long-on. At 71/5 in the 12th over, UAE were staring down the barrel.

Enter Syed Haider and Yayin Rai – two of the cleanest ball-strikers in the Emirati domestic circuit.

The pair added a priceless 68 off just 41 balls for the sixth wicket. Syed, the 20-year-old from Sharjah, played the innings of his life: 42* off 26 (3 fours, 3 sixes), including a stunning pick-up six over square leg off Samay Shrivastava and a scooped four over fine leg. Yayin Rai cleared the ropes twice in the 18th over to push UAE past 140.

A final-over flurry of 15 runs lifted them to a competitive 154/7 – a total that looked 15–20 runs above par on a slowing track.

Oman’s Blistering Start, Middle-Order Jitters

Oman’s reply began in explosive fashion. Hammad Mirza, the Karachi-born opener who now represents Oman, took a special liking to UAE’s new-ball pair. He smashed 23 off Muhammad Jawadullah’s first over – 4, 4, 6, 4, 4 – and raced to 48 off just 24 balls (6 fours, 3 sixes). At 62/0 after 5 overs, Oman were cruising.

Then came the collapse.

Jawadullah returned to trap Mirza lbw with a yorker. Pruthvi Machhi (8) and captain Zeeshan Maqsood (0) fell in the space of three balls. From 62/0, Oman slipped to 79/4.

Spin twins Nilansh Keswani and Aayan Khan applied the choke. Between overs 8 and 14, Oman managed only 38 runs and lost three more wickets. At 117/7 in the 17th over, UAE were overwhelming favourites.

The Fightback: Narayan Saishiv and Aryan Bisht Turn the Tide

With 38 needed off 24 balls and only three wickets left, Narayan Saishiv (33 off 22) and Aryan Bisht (29 off 18) produced a partnership of pure nerve and skill. Saishiv lofted Keswani inside-out over extra cover for six, while Bisht muscled Irfan over mid-wicket. 29 runs came off the next two overs and suddenly Oman needed just 9 off the final 12 deliveries.

The Final Over – Cricket at its Cruel, Beautiful Best

Muhammad Irfan, UAE’s most experienced bowler, was entrusted with the last over. 9 to win, 3 wickets in hand.
Ball 1: Full and straight – Kaleem Sana yorked himself, bowled! (146/8)
Ball 2: New man Aaqib Khan swings and misses, single taken off a leg-bye.

Ball 3: Samay Shrivastava flicks to deep mid-wicket – two runs! Scores level… no, they come back for the second, overthrow… still one needed!
Ball 4: Drama! Shrivastava swings, thick edge, straight to short third… but dropped by Basil Hameed! Two runs taken! Oman now need 4 off 2.

Ball 5: DOT! Aaqib swings across the line, misses everything.
Ball 6: 4 needed off 1. Irfan runs in… full outside off, Shrivastava opens the face, squeezes it past short third man… the ball trickles to the rope… no, stopped just inside! They scamper one!

Samay Shrivastava collapses on the pitch. Oman players charge from the dug-out. UAE players sink to their knees. The stadium – largely filled with expatriate fans from both nations – erupts.

Oman win by 1 wicket with ZERO balls remaining.

What It Means

Oman now have 2 wins from 3 matches and a realistic chance of sneaking into the semifinals if results go their way. UAE, with just one victory, are virtually eliminated and will play for pride against Bangladesh A.

Closing Quote – Samay Shrivastava (Oman, Player of the Moment)

“I just told myself ‘see the ball, hit the ball’. My heart was coming out of my chest, but this is why we play cricket – for moments like these.”

Gulf cricket rarely gets prime-time attention. Tonight, two proud emerging nations served up a contest that belonged on the biggest stage.
