Young, Chapman hit fifties as NZ take series 2-1
New Zealand put up a complete show as they roared back in style following the loss on Saturday, to win the third T20I by 32 runs and seal the three-match series 2-1
The win was set up by fifties from Will Young, playing his first game of the series, and Mark Chapman who continued from where he left in the second game, as the visitors racked up 166 for 5 in their 20 overs. Junaid Siddique was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts, picking up 3 for 26.
In reply, UAE’s top half was blown away by some restrictive New Zealand bowling. Basil Hameed and Aayan Afzal Khan added 68 off 57 for the sixth wicket, but it came a bit too late for the hosts as they could only muster 134 for 7.
Brief scores:
New Zealand 166/5 in 20 overs (Will Young 56, Mark Chapman 51; Junaid Siddique 3-26) beat United Arab Emirates 134/7 in 20 overs (Aayan Afzal Khan 42, Basil Hameed 24; Ben Lister 3-35) by 32 runs
