Dubai Lions, continuing day two at 64 for 6, in reply to Danube Lions’ first innings score of 283 for 9, were left with trying to amass at least another 119 runs to avoid a follow on. However, Riaz Afridi who picked up 4 top-order batsman the previous day, started the day with a wicket of his first over. None of the Dubai Lions batsman were able to settle in and thereafter Yasir Shah picked up 2 more wickets as Dubai Lions were bundled out for 83 in 29 overs.
Danube Lions enforced the follow on and the script was the same as in the first innings. Dubai Lions’ batsmen were unable to face up to the experienced Riaz as he skimmed through the top order with 4 wickets. Tottering at 70 for 6 in 25 overs, Dubai Lions’ were fighting to save the match and deny Danube an outright victory.
They survived the remaining 16 overs as the match ended in a draw. However, Danube Lions got the 1stinnings lead and gained as many points as they could.
