Another close game, but with their BH talent kicking in the last few overs, we were knocked out.
All the remaining games are now must-wins.

After that game. I think Hash will go down in the UAE history books for his performance. Absolutely awesome job from him! 1 victory down. 2 to go. We'll be trying our best

Haha, yeah. If we can pip Zimbabwe, I think we'll set up a showdown with league leaders India for promotion. They'll likely rest players too - as there's no "1 free rest day" between groups and KO's.... so that's our window.... if we can knock of Zimbabwe first.

Essentially, doing the calculations we can squeeze into 3rd place on Run Rate. We need the Indians to beat the dutch and we need to win our remaining two matches other wise we are out

I don't know if "squeeze" is the right phrase. In reality, if we win our next two matches we just need WI or NED to lose 1 of their next two (or India to lose both their next two) and we're in).
Either way, we just need to keep winning from here.

Yep. We'll worry about other results when our job is done. For now, we focus on taking down Zimbabwe.

End of over 43 (1 run) - Zimbabwe(216-10) RR 5.02 E. Taufalele 9 (12b) , N. Ameen 6.2-0-43-1
Excellent bowling, Khatib the standout.

End of over 10 (10 runs) - UAE(74-1). 143 runs required from 40 overs. RR 7.40 RRR 3.58 W. Ryder 34 (26b) , J. Hadad 9 (7b) , E. Taufalele 5-0-33-1
Going great so far in the chase to get 217.

good win and other results mean that a win will almost certainly be enough to get through.
And the really good news is that India have nothing to play for but the prestige... so I expect them to rest up.
