  • It came down to the third and final T20 to separate UAE and Nepal at the ICC Academy.

    After a closely contested ODI series that Nepal edged 2-1 – their first-ever series victory – the UAE were seeking to end this tour on a high.

    After a rare spell of rain over Dubai interrupted the start, the game was shortened to 10 overs-a-side.

    The UAE managed to restrict Nepal to 104 and started well in their chase, with Ghulam Shabber (25) and Shaiman Anwar (30) firing.

    However, they came undone after losing the wicket of Muhammad Usman at 60-3, and were well behind the required run rate before finishing on 90-8 – 15 runs short of the target.
