17/4(5)
Junaid Siddique and Naveen-ul-Haq were on top of their game and had reduced Dubai to 17/4 within 5 overs. But, with the inclement weather hovering in Sharjah, the rain came back again, this time heavier and formed puddles of water on the covers over the pitch. So, the umpires had no other option but to call the game off eventually. Dubai will thank their stars because a loss looked to be likely on the cards for them. That's it from us then! Join us tomorrow for the game between Gulf Giants and MI Emirates in Dubai. We all hope the rain holds up tomorrow. Till then, goodbye and cheers!
21:01 Local Time, 17:01 GMT, 22:31 IST: It is called off. The rain has had the final say.
