When the umpires decided that the game couldn't continue due to poor lighting, the Rhinos needed 42 runs from 36 balls.Nepal was nine runs ahead of the DLS score at the time and took all two points to beat Namibia (39 points) by a single point.Bhim Sharki (67), Aarif Sheikh (52), Gulsan Jha (50*) and Kushal Bhurtel (50) starred with the bat for Nepal.Earlier in the day, UAE's Muhammad Waseem won the toss and chose to bat, putting pressure on the hosts by putting a target on the board.

The wicket shifted the momentum back in the hosts' favour, and a disastrous piece of running from CP Rizwan (7) resulted in an easy run out to help turn the screws.Aravind almost single-handedly continued UAE's charge, bringing up fifty with a guide behind Sompal Kami's point. The youngster helped UAE reach 200 points, laying the groundwork for a late blitz from his teammates.Asif Khan joined the party and took on the Nepal bowlers, with Aravind holding one end.
