Oman-A Close to Victory Against UAE in ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup

DOHA, QATAR – Oman-A is on the verge of securing a win against the UAE in their Group A clash of the ACC T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup being held in Doha. Chasing a modest target, the Hammad Mirza-captained side requires just 88 runs from 78 balls to clinch victory.

The match, the fifth of the tournament, saw Oman-A’s chase get off to a quick start, with skipper Mirza blasting 28 runs off 15 balls. However, early wickets from Muhammad Rohid and Afzal Khan pegged them back slightly. Kran Sonavale’s quickfire 14 and contributions from Narayan Saishiv and Wasim Ali helped steady the innings, but the UAE bowlers kept the pressure on. Currently, Oman-A stands at 67/3, aided by 12 extras conceded by the UAE. The match is still underway with Oman-A looking to seal the victory.

The ACC T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup features eight ‘A’ teams from across Asia, divided into two groups, all vying for the title.
