United Arab Emirates Women's cricketers in action

Saudi Arabia Women will take on UAE Women at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket (Ministry Turf 2) in the 11th match of the GCC Women’s T20I Championship 2022.

UAE, led by Chaya Mughal, have looked a class apart in the competition. Having all three games, they are sitting pretty atop the table with six points and a net run rate of 4.875. They are coming off a 109-run win over Oman on Tuesday.

After electing to bat first, the UAE racked up a massive score of 204 on the board. Opener Esha Oza set the tone with a 31-ball knock of 67, laced with five fours and as many sixes. Lavanya Keny and Theeertha Satish contributed 40s. Thereafter, the UAE restricted Oman to 95-7.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, led by Cheryl Sewsunker, have looked absolutely bereft of ideas in the competition. Having lost all three outings, they are languishing in sixth place in the points table with a disastrous net run rate of -11.650. They lost to Bahrain by 269 runs in their previous match on Tuesday.

After being put into bat first, Bahrain scored 318, riding on Deepika Rasangika’s unbeaten 66-ball 161, laced with as many as 31 fours. Captain Tharanga Gajanayake contributed a handy 56-ball 94. Rasangika also got three wickets as Bahrain restricted Saudi Arabia to 49-8 in 20 overs.
