Half-centuries from Aryansh Sharma and Sohaib Khan rescued United Arab Emirates from a slippery chase to post a thrilling five-wicket over Canada in the T20 World Cup on Friday.
Chasing 151, the UAE looked in trouble at 66-4 in the 13th over.
But Sharma, who made an unbeaten 74, and Soahib (51) put on 84 to help them achieve their target with two balls to spare in New Delhi.
Sharma played the anchor while Sohaib took on the opposition attack with four fours and four sixes to deny Canada and hand UAE their first win in two matches in Group D.
Sohaib raised his fifty off 28 balls but fell in the last over to leave Muhammad Arfan to hit the winning run to trigger joyous celebrations.
Pace bowler Junaid Siddique set up the win with figures of 5-35 in his four overs to limit Canada to 150-7 and was named player of the match.
"In the first innings, we thought they might be going for 160 or 170," said Siddique.
"We bowled very well in the last few overs and knew that 150 was a chaseable total."
Canada spinner Saad Bin Zafar impressed with 3-14 in his four overs to rattle the opposition top order.
But Sharma and Sohaib turned the chase on its head to make UAE jump to third in the group ahead of winless Afghanistan.
New Zealand and South Africa head the group with two wins from two.
They clash in Ahmedabad on Saturday, where the winner will be the first team assured of a place in the Super Eights.

Canada vs UAE T20 World Cup Live Score: UAE banking on big-hitters and tactical adjustments
The United Arab Emirates arrive at this fixture eager to erase memories of their one-sided loss to New Zealand.
Despite recent progress as a competitive associate side, their bowling unit struggled to contain the opposition, prompting captain Muhammad Waseem to call for better planning around line, length and adaptability.
UAE’s hopes of a turnaround will rest heavily on Waseem’s aggressive batting and the composure of Alishan Sharafu, both capable of anchoring or accelerating depending on the match situation.
With the ball, left-arm spinner Haider Ali’s accuracy and experienced pacer Junaid Siddique’s yorkers could play pivotal roles in restricting Canada’s top order. The team believes small tactical tweaks — rather than drastic changes — could help them rediscover the balance that has troubled stronger teams in recent years.

Canada vs UAE Live Score: Canada seek consistency after mixed start
Canada’s campaign began with flashes of promise despite the defeat, as the side showed resilience while chasing a daunting target of 214. Their innings, rebuilt after early setbacks, hinted at fighting spirit, particularly through Navneet Dhaliwal’s half-century and Harsh Thaker’s composed contributions in the middle overs.
Yet, lapses in the field — dropped catches and misfields — proved costly against a strong opponent.
Thaker reflected on the positives after the game, noting the team’s ability to rebuild despite losing wickets early and stressing that execution with the ball needed improvement.
Left-arm wrist-spinner Ansh Patel emerged as a bright spot, troubling key batters with his variations and control. For Canada, the focus now shifts to maintaining composure across all departments and converting encouraging passages into sustained dominance against an evenly matched UAE side.

CAN vs UAE Live Score: Battle for survival in the Group of Death
Bogged down by heavy defeats in their opening matches, Canada and the UAE will be desperate to reset their campaigns when they face off in a crucial Group D clash of the T20 World Cup today.
Placed in a daunting pool alongside New Zealand, South Africa and Afghanistan, both associate sides entered the tournament aware that every game could shape their hopes of reaching the Super Eight stage.
