SriLanka have lost their 5th wicket with Meiyappan bagging a hat-trick. SriLanka have suddenly collapsed with Dasun Shanaka and Charith Assalanka following Bhanuka Rajapaksa back. 

Dhananjaya De Silva was run-out. He added a 50-run stand with Pathum Nissanka after Aryan Lakra removed Kusal Mendis inside the powerplay. He was off to a good start with Pathum Nissanka, stitching together 42-run stand.

Earlier, UAE captain CP Rizwan won the toss and opted to bowl first in the do-or-die clash against SriLanka. With a warm day in Geelong, Rizwan believes dew could be a factor under the lights. Hence, UAE want to chase. Danushka Gunathilaka has been dropped for Charith Assalanka.
