UAE U20 - News & Discussion

[MOD-MrMoose]

Apologies for the lack of noise on here.

A mixed bag of results (2 wins, 2 losses) mean we need a win today to avoid the drop back down to Div 2.

If anyone is interested in joining our team as an assistant (to learn more about the National side of FTP), please flick me a message.

We remain well within the hunt of a finals berth with 2 wins and a very close (4 run) loss to the undefeated Canada.

The great challenge on day 4 with Australia standing in our way. Wins against AUS and West Indies would sneak us through to the semi.

A two wicket win against Australia gives us our third win of the week!

U20 Group 1 extremely tight going into day 5 with 5 teams mathematically able to win through to the finals. Canada and UAE on 3 wins, AUS, New Zealand and the West Indies all on 2 wins.

Day 5 sees Australia play the winless Ireland, Canada play New Zealand and UAE up against the West Indies.
