His composed innings, comprising 3 fours and 1 six off 102 balls, helped Bangladesh set a target of 229 runs.
The tail-enders, Rafiuzzaman (12) and Iqbal Hossain (18), further bolstered the team's score, reaching a total of 200 runs. However, UAE's Dhruv Parash emerged as a formidable force, claiming six wickets for 44 runs, while Afzal Khan secured two wickets.
In response, UAE faced a challenging task and were eventually bowled out for 167 runs in 47.4 overs.
