In the second game of the day, Fujairah Pacific Ventures thrashed Dubai Pulse Secure by 26 runs. It was a great opportunity for Dubai to secure their first win of the tournament but they surrendered to the disciplined bowling performance from Fujairah.

Earlier, Chirag Suri got them off to a sizzling start as Fujairah raced to 54 in just 20 balls. However, the innings got derailed and wickets at regular intervals meant that Fujairah could only set a target of 103 runs.
