UAE U20 - News & Discussion

[MrMoose]

A great effort but not the result.

3 wickets to Razzaq and a beautiful 78 from Shaheen wasn't quite enough to see us get over the Aussies.

4 run loss.

Need to win the next two to make sure we stay up in Div 1.

[MrMoose]

A complete bowling effort led by Armanjani (3 wickets) saw Canada bowled out for 178.

The batters led by Malik (84) then chased the total down with 6 wickets and 6 overs to spare.

Not our best week with 2 unluckily close losses but most importantly we avoid relegation in the first tour of the cycle.

A solid 76 from Omer and we take our first win for the tour!

On to the Aussies tomorrow.

[MrMoose]

Not pretty, we move on to Day 4/5

[MrMoose]

U20 tour starts Monday - games daily at 0200.

[MrMoose]

Not a good start. On to Tuesday

[MrMoose]

Not our week. Let’s try and finish with a win against the Aussies.

[MrMoose]

Disappointing week and not a great send off for a number of players who age up after very successful nat careers.
