And the UAE players take the trophy, walk on stage, and celebrate. They certainly earned it, and rightfully so! And with that, the UAE versus Bangladesh series is concluded. Thank you so much for being with us during the series. I'm signing off on behalf of myself, Sudeep Poojar, and the entire ESPNcricinfo team. Sayonara!

Player of the Series Muhammad Waseem: "First of all, thanks to my dear Allah and Alhamdulillah. I'm very happy with this victory. And congratulations to our management, our board, and thanks to our sporting staff, our head coach, physio, trainer, analyst, everyone. I'm very happy we have made history. This series means a lot to us. It's very helpful for us in the future. And I'm very happy with the performance of the boys, the way Asif played, Alishan, Rahul Chopra, and the way Haider bowled, and the other bowlers. I'm very happy with the performance of my whole team. I have no words for this victory, to be honest. (Five uncapped players) Very happy they did very well throughout the series, and especially Haider Ali is doing his debut, and he bowled exceptionally. I'm very happy for him. We were not losing our hopes, and we were giving hope to everyone. We can chase every score in Sharjah, or against every team, and we are used to it here. To be honest, I'm very happy. Thanks to the coach, our families, and everyone."

Litton Das: "Definitely, it's not up to the mark when you come here always thinking to win the game, but still, this is part of life. And when you play cricket, sometimes the opposition plays really well. Credit goes to them also. Still, we made a couple of mistakes in batting as well. Today, I feel that this is not up to the mark of what we want on this surface and this condition, and definitely the last three games, we bowled second, and the dew is the main factor. (Positives) Definitely Parvez Emon and Tanzid Tamim, a couple of games, Hridoy and Jaker bat really well. And in the middle, a couple of guys bowl really well. But still, we have to learn, learn more, and execute in the match. (The UAE) They played really well today. They played really well in the first half. They bowled well, and that's why we couldn't score that much. But in the batting, they will favor a little bit of dew, and credit goes to them, whoever bats in the middle. They don't panic that much, and credit goes to them.

Player of the Match Alishan Sharafu: "The plan was pretty simple: to go out there and play as many balls as possible. Everything just worked out in the end. (Waseem) He's been fantastic all series, and losing him early today was a big blow. But obviously, it was another opportunity for everyone else around him to get themselves in. And about the strides. It's just something that I do usually, and just to get myself moving and go towards the ball. But there was no specific plan for it. As soon as he (Asif) came in, it was quite simple to just keep the scoreboard ticking and look for the odd boundary, and just keep rotating strike, for starters. And every now and then, you just get a boundary here and there. (Dug-out) I'm sure everyone's pumped up. And once that third game was announced, everyone was optimistic in the dressing room that we could go 2-1 up in the series, and we took it one game at a time. And I think everything just worked out for us after that."

11:05 pm What a fascinating chase this has been for the UAE! They had a challenging start, losing their skipper Muhammad Waseem early in the innings, a big blow right at the top. But credit where it's due, Zohaib and Alishan Sharafu really knuckled down, starting to rebuild that innings brick by brick after the early setback. Then came the moment that sent a shiver through the UAE dugout - Rishad with an absolute ripper of a delivery! Clean bowled through bat and pad, Zohaib had to depart. Even after that crucial dismissal, the UAE kept their composure, steadily ticking along, keeping that required run rate hovering around eight runs an over. But the game changed in the 16th over, bowled by none other than Rishad himself. The UAE batters plundering 19 runs from that over, including two massive sixes! And just to add salt to the wounds for Bangladesh, Tanzid Tamim put down a crucial catch of Alishan Sharafu at long-off in that very same over, parried it over the ropes for a six.. But then Asif Khan entered the party and seized the show, blasting a flurry of big sixes all over the place! That 16th over essentially altered the trajectory of the game; Bangladesh simply had no hope of getting back into it after that. Their slower, overpitched bowling became just too predictable in the last overs, and they simply failed to execute their plans under duress. Alishan Sharafu finished unbeaten with a stunning 68 runs, while Asif Khan supplied the important late burst, hitting 41 runs off just 26 balls, including five huge sixes. Shoriful was Bangladesh's outstanding bowler, taking one wicket and bowling economically. Don't go anywhere; we'll have the Post-Match Presentation ready soon!

Sharefin Khan: "The catch drops have costed Bangladesh more than anything else in this series."

Tayyab: "UAE looks like a strong contender for the upcoming Asia Cup. Their quality of batting has impressed. And as for Bangladesh, I'm speechless, really."

Karthik Vijayan: "Trying to get some context here very late. But the UAE team is winning and they are the home team here, right? So why is the crowd rallying behind Bangladesh? " Throughout the series, a sizable crowd in the UAE, mostly expatriates, has shown their support for Bangladesh.

Murali Krishnan: "UAE = U Are Extraordinary"

United Arab Emirates won the match by 7 wickets

Scores level. Hasan Mahmud to bowl the last over. Fielders come in close. Silly mid-off and mid-on in.
