In a shocking development, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) defeated India by a run to knock them out of the tournament.
Despite a valiant effort from captain Robin Uthappa and Stuart Binny, India fell one-run short from 130-run total.
For UAE, Khalid Shah and Muhammad Zuhaib made a valuable contribution of 58 runs in just two overs. Zahoor Khan then took the team to 130 with a quick-fire 37 off 11 deliveries.
In reply, India promoted Manoj Tiwary to open alongside Bharat Chipli, but Chipli was out for 20 in the first over.
Uthappa then took charge, smashing 43 off 10 balls, but his partner Kedar Jadhav struggled to get going.
Stuart Binny took over from Uthappa and hit four consecutive sixes to bring India close, but was run out on the final ball of the game, leaving India one short of the target.
With this loss, India are out of the title race but will play at least two more matches in the “Bowl” competition, featuring the four third-placed teams from each group.
