Review: Top 5 moments of the 2014 U19 World Cup

#5 The Showstoppers the hosts UAE

What it meant to host a mega event like World Cup, especially when you are not among the top-teams, ask to the UAE cricket administration. Being the newest host of an ICC event, UAE is better known as a second home to Pakistan and Afghanistan national cricket teams. Although, the Sharjah Cricket Stadium has its own reputation including Sachin’s ‘Desert Storm’ against Australia in 1997-98; it has staged 215 ODIs – the most by any ground till date. It took South Africa to a prominent stage for hosting mega sports event after the 2010 FIFA World Cup. And, who knows, maybe the UAE is the next-in-line for the IPL.
