Mani J: "Can't wait to see the performance of Karthik Meyyappan in today's match!!!" --- How many wickets is he going to take today? Thanks, PDP. From 58/1 after ten overs to 148/3 in 20 overs, UAE have really pulled things back to post a competitive total. Have they got enough to produce an upset here? We'll find out soon.

8.29 pm Rizwan and Hameed with an uproarious finish to get UAE to 148. Chasing has not been easy for any team in this tourney. Will UAE spring an upset for their first ever win in ICC World Cup events? Remember that Namibia have dropped Divan La Cock in favor of an extra bowler today so the chase is only going to be that much more difficult. Netherlands will be cheering hard for UAE here. A win for UAE means Netherlands advance to the Super 12s alongside Sri Lanka despite having lost to them a few hours ago. A Namibia win puts them in the next phase of the tourney with Sri Lanka. Who will come out on top? Stay with us for the start of the chase when Srinidhi Ramanujam returns to the commentary box.

A win for the UAE could be a memorable moment for this event.
