India beat the United Arab Emirates by nine runs in a thrilling Golden Jubilee Ismaili Sports Festival Twenty20 cricket match at the Nairobi Gymkhana on Wednesday.
Samir Koradia had a brilliant performance with the bat scoring 21 runs off five balls. He punished Nizar Mitian in his last over by hitting him two sixes, two fours and a single. He top scored for India with 44 and was supported by Meerali Nooran with 37 and Maskati Abid 20.
In reply UAE started their innings on a high note scoring at the rate of nine runs per over and at one point the game would have gone either way. The game slipped through UAE’s fingers in the last over when they needed 11 runs to win. At the time they were 139 for 7 and pressure was mounting on the tail-enders.
