11:22pm That will be all from us for tonight. We hope you enjoyed our coverage and we hope to have your company for all the cricket lined up in different parts of the world over the foreseeable future. Until next time, from the entire team at ESPNcricinfo, it is goodbye!

Muhammad Waseem, the UAE captain is also the Player of the Match: I have no words. I am very happy we beat Bangladesh. Very happy with the performance. I was giving hope to everyone that we can chase this score because we know the conditions (here). We were hoping to chase it and I tried to play my natural game. (On the batting order changes) Nothing special, but we are just going with the game-plan. We wanted the runs at that time, and we went with Rahul and Asif. After the wicket of Rahul, I was trying to play long but unfortunately, gave my wicket (away) as well. We were hoping (towards the end) and had belief. Dhruv hit one six, Haider also hit one six and thankfully, we won. We will go with our strength (in the third game) and hopefully we can make it 2-1.

Litton Das, Bangladesh captain: Any loss is hard, but we still batted well on this wicket. Wicket was pretty good, when they batted, they had the favour of dew. We missed a bit in the fielding and in the middle-overs bowling. When you play on this type of ground, which is small and with dew a factor, you have to calculate and plan (as bowlers). What Rana did before (his final over), we were expecting more from him. You can have good days and bad days. We will sit and talk and come back. (On his innings) What I did is not up to the mark but I will try my best.

Here's Sampath with a few stats, encapsulating what UAE achieved tonight: UAE's chase of 206 is the highest by an associate nation against a full-member team in T20Is. The previous highest was 191 by Afghanistan against Zimbabwe in 2015. It is also the first-ever successful chase of 200-plus target in the UAE in T20Is.

11:06pm Wow. That was a game of cricket and some. UAE, it seemed, had a daunting task at the half-way stage but their captain showed them it was possible with a stellar 42-ball 82. There were cameos throughout the innings but a glut of wickets as the death-overs dawned and then during it, meant Bangladesh were ahead with a few balls remaining.

But what ensued thereafter was pure drama. Bangladesh completely lost the plot, with Shoriful conceding four needless overthrows in the penultimate over. Tanzim then travelled in the final over, and compounded his woes with a high full toss. Hridoy then completed Bangladesh's capitulation with a decision that will be dissected and will be pored over by the Bangladesh camp and by everyone watching.

There were so many twists and turns that you'd be forgiven to if you lost track. But the gist is that the UAE, after a historic run-chase, have levelled things up in the series and in a couple of days' time, will have a chance to completely turn the tables on Bangladesh, who, after tonight, will have plenty to ponder!

2 off 2. Free hit coming up...

3 off 2. Haider on strike. A lot of instructions pouring in from the UAE dugout. Not sure how much of that can or will be processed by the batter, though. Tanzim stays over the wicket

Matiullah is the new batter in

4 off 4. Surely UAE will not botch it from here?
