UAE would be high on confidence after demolishing Netherland in the first of the four T20 games and they would again square off against each other at VRA Cricket Ground for the second clash which is to be played on 5th August.
It was Ashfaq Ahmed (54 off 35 balls) and M Usman(52 off 34 balls) who helped their team to engrave a decent score.
Chasing 181 runs on the board, Max ODowd was brilliant with the bat and smashed 51 runs off 35 balls but Netherland fell short by 13 runs and was restricted for 168 despite having 6 wickets in hand.
