South Africa v UAE

Scorecard

Put into bat, UAE looked fluent for the first four overs, but South Africa pegged them back with a couple of wickets. From 36/0 after four overs, UAE slipped to 44/2 at the end of powerplay, with openers Aryansh Sharma and Muhammad Waseem back in the pavilion.

Pacer Corbin Bosch was the one that provided the breakthrough and led the South African fightback in a brilliant spell of 3/12 in four overs. Anrich Nortje claimed 2/28, while George Linge chipped in with a wicket to hold UAE to 122/6.

Alishan Sharafu, who has come up with some vital contributions this World Cup, was once again the top-scorer for UAE, notching 45 off 38 balls. But the UAE middle and lower order was put under pressure by South Africa in overcast conditions in New Delhi.

The Proteas were uncharacteristically sloppy in the field on Tuesday, dropping at least two regulation catches.
