MI Emirates vs Sharjah Warriors, 2nd Match, International League T20, 2023 - HighlightsMIE vs SW, 2nd Match, International League T20, 2023 - Highlights

Nabi to Dwayne Bravo, SIX, Bravo finishes the innings in style! Gets one in the slot, he shuffles a touch and went straight down the ground with the loft. Hit it very cleanly. Emirates finish on 204/5!

Nabi to Pollard, FOUR, poor ball, drag-down from Nabi but Pollard finds the gap even with a mistimed pull. All the deep fielders are in front of the wicket, so it meant that Pollard could afford to get boundaries squarer

Nabi to Pollard, SIX, this is why Pollard wants to keep the strike! He wants boundaries in this over and it's a no-brainer that he can do it better than Dwayne Bravo. Nabi misses the blockhole, it's a full toss and swipes it over deep square leg. Cleanly done

Naveen-ul-Haq to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, hat-trick of fours for Bravo to end the over! Just the kind of momentum Emirates were seeking while going into the 20th over. Once again makes a hint of room, Naveen-ul-Haq misses the yorker and this is sliced with a lot of power from Bravo. Knew that the field was up on the off-side and just had to thread the gap. Gets this between short third and backward point

Naveen-ul-Haq to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, moves around in the crease early and forces a mistake from Naveen-ul-Haq. Tries the yorker, feeds a full toss and Bravo slices it powerfully past backward point. MIssed the gap in the first ball, but didn't on this occasion

Naveen-ul-Haq to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, signature Bravo shot! Backs away early, gets a fuller slower ball that he carves over cover. Nicely done and this almost went all the way

Woakes to Pollard, SIX, brilliant shot! First maximum of the night for Pollard! Not the easiest of shots this - the flat-batted pull down the ground - and he clears the rope for a flat six. Was pace-off from Woakes, which makes the shot all the more wonderful

Junaid Siddique to Najibullah, out Caught by Gurbaz!! 2 in 2 from Siddique and it's a duck for Najibullah! Not sure what was said or discussed in that last time-out but Sharjah have come out blazing after that. A nothing shot from Najibullah first ball, almost as if he wanted to pull this uppishly and then tried to check his shot. In the end, all he can manage is a top-edge that goes straight up. Gurbaz calls for it and rushes forward to settle under the skier. Two massive wickets from Siddique. Easily makes a difference of about 15-20 runs to the final score. Najibullah c Gurbaz b Junaid Siddique 0(1)

Junaid Siddique to Pooran, out Caught by Denly!! Picks out deep mid-wicket with precision! Pooran can't believe it, even his skipper Pollard seems disappointed as the left-hander had to bat deep for the side to get a really daunting total. Another slower ball, hard length and Pooran did connect the pull fairly well but the placement is wrong. He couldn't have found Denly any more better as the English star didn't have to budge at all. Pooran c Denly b Junaid Siddique 49(30) [4s-2 6s-4]

Junaid Siddique to Pooran, SIX, whacked! The last over was unusually quiet and Pooran breaks the shackles with a mighty swipe-pull over deep backward square leg. Picked the slower bouncer early, it sits up nicely for him as well and he takes full toll

Nabi to Pollard, 1 run, slider on leg stump, Pollard hangs back and knocks this past mid-wicket

Nabi to Muhammad Waseem, out Caught by Lewis!! Nabi has the last laugh! He isn't smiling much though, given how much he has conceded already. But the ploy to persist with him does work at last for Sharjah. Waseem falls after an epic innings. Selfless approach, wants to maximise his form and looks to go for another six in the over, this time the slog sweep is a bit off the top edge and deep mid-wicket settles under it. Muhammad Waseem c Lewis b Nabi 71(39) [4s-5 6s-5]

Nabi to Muhammad Waseem, SIX, no stopping Waseem! He is in the mood and although Nabi is a class operator, don't think bowling spin is the right idea right now. This is a fraction shorter, flatter, Waseem crouches low and slog sweeps over deep mid-wicket. It's gone out of the ground

Nabi to Muhammad Waseem, FOUR, almost took Pooran away with the shot! Serious power from Waseem, that strong bottom-hand unleashing the whip-drive straight back past the bowler. Nabi missed his length by just a trifle and he pays the price

Junaid Siddique to Pooran, SIX, fab shot! Steps out, backs away a little, forcing Siddique to go wider with the hard length and Pooran uses all of the pace-bounce to slice it over backward point. This is a true pitch for batters and it's cleared the ropes easily

Moeen Ali to Pooran, FOUR, goes down the ground again and finds the fence again! Sharjah are not able to stop the bleeding here. Floated up, in the arc and Pooran uses his feet to loft over the bowler's head. Was in the air for a long time but long-on had no chance to get across for the catch. Naveen-ul-Haq did try to palm the ball away from the rope but couldn't

Moeen Ali to Muhammad Waseem, 2 runs, speared very full, attacking the stumps, Waseem jams it past the bowler and it's hit very straight. Allows the second run with ease by the time long-on tidies up

Moeen Ali to Muhammad Waseem, FOUR, uppish but in the gap! Fired full on leg stump, Waseem shuffles early and sweeps hard over backward square leg. No chance for the sweeper to get across

Moeen Ali to Muhammad Waseem, SIX, Waseem grees the skipper with a biggie! Loosener from Moeen, half-tracker and it's pulled high over deep mid-wicket. Way over the rope. Fifty for Waseem! He is arguably UAE's best batter in white-ball cricket and it's not for nothing. All that power on show tonight

Denly to Pooran, FOUR, he has hit this so hard! Denly misses his length, feeds the slot and Pooran murders this through extra cover with a thunderous drive. Emirates making a move on

Denly to Pooran, SIX, it's raining sixes all of a sudden! Pooran didn't quite get hold of this properly and there was a long-off in place but it's cleared him comfortably in the end. Went after the googly, sliced it a bit but the raw Caribbean power does the rest

Nabi to Muhammad Waseem, SIX, flown off the top edge but it's gone all the way! Waseem with the pick-up slog sweep and with fine leg up, he knew what he was doing. So much power and it's also a short boundary that side

Nabi to Pooran, SIX, smoked! Pooran gets going! This is full and flat, right in the arc and he launches it downtown. Straight loft and it clears long-on with ease

Woakes to Fletcher, out Caught by Gurbaz!! Woakes gets a wicket with the Test match line again. Short of a length delivery moving away, Fletcher tries to guide late to third man, edges it to the right of the keeper who took a good catch. Fletcher c Gurbaz b Woakes 22(20) [4s-3 6s-1]

Meiyappan to Muhammad Waseem, SIX, Meiyappan keeps it wide, forcing Waseem to fetch that from way outside off stump but Waseem manages to middle for a high six over long-on

Meiyappan to Muhammad Waseem, SIX, the googly but he picked it, muscled this slog over wide long-on. Dragged it from wide of off stump

Junaid Siddique to Fletcher, FOUR, this time aerial over cover-point with a thumping lofted drive. Junaid Siddique overpitches and pays the price

Junaid Siddique to Fletcher, FOUR, now a drive on the rise. Smashed wide of mid-off and it races away for four

Junaid Siddique to Fletcher, FOUR, short delivery, did rush Fletcher but he managed to pull it nicely behind square

Naveen-ul-Haq to Fletcher, leg byes, FOUR, fired down leg, Fletcher misses the glance. Called leg byes and he isn't happy with the ball. Tells the ump he didn't touch. Naveen-ul-Haq continues to struggle for control

Junaid Siddique to Fletcher, SIX, pick up shot, wristy, powerful too. Clears deep square leg quite easily. Outswinger on the pads, Fletcher flicks over the rope

Woakes to Will Smeed, out Caught by Gurbaz!! Top edgeee, very high. Gurbaz shoos everyone out of his sight, gets into a solid base and collects very clean. Well judged. Woakes is almost a bank in conditions where the ball moves off the pitch and in the air. Good length delivery swinging away, Smeed slogs and holes out. Will Smeed c Gurbaz b Woakes 2(7)

Woakes to Muhammad Waseem, FOUR, oh he swung wild and got away with an inside edge. Fine leg in and it escaped past him for four

Naveen-ul-Haq to Muhammad Waseem, FOUR, now he goes short and way outside off stump, cut away in front of square through cover-point for back-to-back fours

Naveen-ul-Haq to Muhammad Waseem, FOUR, poor line, further down leg than the previous ball, Waseem glances it fine between keeper and leg slip
