The stage is set for the 2nd T20I between United Arab Emirates (UAE) and New Zealand (NZ) in the ongoing New Zealand tour of the UAE series. After a captivating opening encounter, both teams are gearing up for another thrilling clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on August 19.

New Zealand (NZ) secured a 19-run victory and took the lead 1-0 in the 1st T20I with a brilliant performance. After a shaky start losing opener Chad Bowes for a golden duck, Tim Seifert and Dane Cleaver steadied the innings with a crucial 50-run partnership. Seifert went on to score a crucial 55 runs before being dismissed by Basil Hameed. Late contributions from Cole McConchie and Rachin Ravindra helped New Zealand reach a total of 155/6 in their allotted 20 overs. UAE's Junaid Siddique and Basil Hameed managed to pick up two wickets each, displaying their bowling prowess.

When UAE came out to chase, Tim Southee dismissed their captain Muhammad Waseem for a golden duck, setting the tone for New Zealand's bowling attack. Aryansh Sharma stood tall amid the collapse, scoring a commendable 60 runs off 43 balls. Unfortunately, the lack of support from the other end led to a downfall, and UAE were eventually bowled out for 136 runs. Tim Southee's exceptional bowling performance yielded five wickets, making a significant impact on the outcome of the match.

As both teams prepare for the 2nd T20I, UAE will draw upon the positives from their performance and look to bounce back strongly. On the other hand, New Zealand will be aiming to capitalize on their winning momentum and seal the series with another dominant display.
