New Zealand cricket team made a strong comeback from yesterday's shocking loss to beat UAE in the third and last T20I match by 32 runs on Sunday, August 20. A win helped Tim Southee-led team secure a three-match away series by 2-1.

UAE cricket made history by winning the second T20I game with a dominant win but were not able to repeat that performance on Sunday. New Zealand improved their batting performance after back-to-back poor shows at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Opener Chad Bowes' struggle with a bat continued as he managed to score only nine runs but Will Young and in-form Mark Chapman added 84 runs for the third wicket to help the Black Caps scored a healthy total to fight.

Junaid Siddique shone again with three wickets but the last match's hero Aayan Afzal Khan went wicketless today. Top-ranked batter and skipper Muhammad Wassem managed to score just eight runs while chasing a tough total as UAE's top-order struggled for a good start. Lister gave the breakthrough in the second over with Waseem's early wicket and then UAE failed to recover at any stage of the game.

After a wicketless spell, the 17-year-old Aayan displayed his batting skills by smashing 42 runs off 36 balls. He was the top scorer for his side but no other player managed to score a 25-plus knock against Kiwis' impressive bowling. Lister picked three for 35 while Kyle Jamieson, Mitchell Santner and Adithya Ashok took one wicket each.
