Parvez Hossain Emon’s Century Powers Bangladesh to 27-Run Win in 1st T20I Against UAE
A Dominant Start to Bangladesh’s UAE Tour
The Bangladesh national team kicked off their T20I series against the United Arab Emirates with a commanding 27-run victory in Sharjah, thanks to a sensational maiden international century by rising star Parvez Hossain Emon. The left-handed opener’s breathtaking 100 off just 54 balls set the tone for Bangladesh, handing them a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Emon’s Blistering Knock Headlines Bangladesh’s Innings
Parvez Hossain Emon delivered a career-defining performance under lights at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Smashing nine towering sixes and four boundaries, Emon’s knock was a display of clean hitting and fearless intent. This was only his eighth T20I appearance, but the youngster looked every bit the experienced campaigner as he dominated the UAE bowling attack.
Despite Emon’s fireworks, Bangladesh’s middle order couldn’t capitalize. No other batter managed to cross the 20-run mark, with Muhammad Jawadullah leading the bowling effort for UAE. The left-arm pacer produced a stunning spell of 4/21, consistently troubling the visitors with his variation and discipline.
UAE’s Promising Chase Derailed by Late Collapse
Chasing 192, UAE got off to a wobbly start, losing two quick wickets inside the PowerPlay. However, a steady 62-run partnership between captain Muhammad Waseem (54 off 39) and Rahul Chopra (35 off 22) put the hosts on course. At the halfway mark, UAE were ahead of the required rate and looked set for a potential upset.
Bangladesh Bowlers Deliver Under Pressure
The game turned in Bangladesh’s favor when Tanzim Hasan Sakib struck in back-to-back overs, removing a dangerous-looking Chopra. Meanwhile, Asif Khan, who had briefly reignited UAE’s hopes with three consecutive sixes off Mahedi Hasan, was dismissed soon after by Hasan Mahmud, who finished with figures of 3/33.
Veteran pacer Mustafizur Rahman was the difference-maker at the death, conceding just seven runs in his final two overs and finishing with 2/17. Mahedi Hasan, despite a costly spell, bounced back to pick up two wickets in the last over and sealed the win for Bangladesh by restricting UAE to 164/9.
