Another nail biter and another week!

Wow these games. I never know what a good total is in these u20 games! I thought that would be more then enough but then down to the wire again.

Good stuff after 2

[Penky]

Never a straightforward result for us

NRR is overrated anyway

I really hope this doesn’t come back to haunt us all come Friday.

The Match in a Tweet: UAE WIN A HEARTSTOPPER! (Again)

Man of the Match: Muadh Murat (UAE)

Our best:
Muadh Murat - an unbeaten 62, a catch and two wickets for the all rounder! Murat a catalyst to get us over the 250 total with the bat. Then held his nerve late with the ball 2/59 off his 10 overs not bad for a medium bowling on a dry deck at the death.

Nazmi Abdulah - 36 runs at the end of the innings proved vital and then backed it up with the ball. 1/42 off 10 overs including 2 maidens.

Akram Ata - 56 for the opener! Setting up the innings nicely.

Around the Grounds:
USA beat Zimbabwe by 6 wickets.
England beat Netherlands by 34 runs.

USA and UAE sit unbeaten for the week with 2 wins. England and Zimbabwe each have one win. Netherlands and Pakistan are winless.

Tune in at 00.00 tomorrow as we take on Zimbabwe and look to continue the win streak.

Trust in the process
