The Oman vs UAE ODI match in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 experienced a low-scoring thriller that earned its place in the record books.

Hosts Oman chose to field first after winning the toss. While the United Arab Emirates were bundled out for only 78 runs, Oman lost six wickets to reach the target in 24.1 overs. 

Shakeel Ahmed bagged his first ODI fifer

The 36-year-old left-arm spinner Shakeel Ahmed recorded his maiden ODI fifer as his dominant bowling caused havoc batting collapse for the two-time ODI World Cup-qualified team. He completed his 10-over quota by finishing with the bowling figures of 10-3-23-5.

Also, Jay Odedra (2/5), Muzahir Raza (1/13), and Samay Shrivastav (1/28) took wickets in the innings. 

Six UAE batters scored ducks

A total of six batters scored ducks in the innings, including three golden ducks. It is the joint record for most number of ducks in an ODI innings as it was the sixth time in ODI history that experienced six ducks in one innings.

While Ali Naseer scored the highest runs (21) in the innings, Junaid Siddique (13*) and Muhammad Waseem (13) managed the second-highest score. 

In reply, Oman started badly by losing the first three batters for only 12 runs. Aamir Kaleem (32) and Hammad Mirza (20) scored double-digit runs in the chasing, and those were enough for the hosts to successfully chase the two-digit target in 24.1 overs after losing six wickets.  

Among the UAE bowlers, Basil Hameed took three wickets (3/17), Aayan Afzal Khan got two wickets (2/21), and Dhruv Parashar picked up one wicket (1/15).

Match aggregate: 157/16

The match experienced 157 aggregated totals and 16 aggregated wickets. It was the second-lowest match aggregate in ODI history where at least 15 wickets fell. 

The record in this list is 149 runs with 16 wickets during the 2013 Brisbane ODI between Australia (74 all out) and Sri Lanka (75/6).

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has got a new ODI captain after one of the legendary players Muhammad Waseem stepped down from the leadership role. 

Between 2023 and 2024, Muhammad Waseem led the UAE team in 26 ODI matches. Under his leadership, UAE won seven ODIs and lost 19 ODIs. 

My best wishes are with the new captain: Muhammad Waseem

Before their upcoming round of the 2024-2026 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2, the 30-year-old Waseem decided to step down from the ODI captaincy role. However, he will continue his international cricket journey.  

Waseem said on Friday, "I have decided to step down as captain to concentrate on my batting in the ODI format. My best wishes are with the new captain, I will be giving him my full support."

UAE's leading run-scorer in international cricket: Muhammad Wasim

Waseem is the leading run-scorer (3459 runs) for UAE in international cricket. The UAE’s leading T20I run-scorer (2136 runs) is also the third-most ODI run-scorer (1323 runs) for his national team. In his ODI career, Waseem has recorded one century and six half-centuries.

UAE are currently in the eighth or last position in the 2024-2026 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 with only two points. In seven matches in this competition, the UAE won once and lost six fixtures. 

In early November, the UAE will participate in the next round of the 2024-2026 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2. Oman will host this ODI tri-series round from November 1, where the UAE and Netherlands will participate. 

Rahul Chopra is the new UAE ODI captain

Wicketkeeper-batter Rahul Chopra will lead the UAE ODI team in the upcoming round of the 2024-2026 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 in Oman. Making his international cricket debut this year, the 29-year-old has scored 139 runs in seven ODIs and 71 runs in six T20Is. 

In the 2024-2026 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 latest points table, Canada are leading with 16 points, while the United States and the Netherlands have earned 12 points each, and Namibia have secured 10 points. Scotland, Oman, and Nepal are in the next three positions before the last-placed UAE with nine, six, and three points, respectively.

At the end of the 2024-2026 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2, the top four teams will directly qualify for the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier, while the last four teams will go to the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off.

Nepal played eight games in the Women’s Asia Cup in 2012 and 2016 but didn’t win any. They didn’t qualify for the 2018 and 2022 editions. They almost missed the 2024 tournament too, but a last-minute rule change in March 2024 allowed them to participate. Now, they’ve won their first-ever game in the competition.

Opening batter Samjhana Khadka delivered a stellar performance with an unbeaten 45-ball 72, leading Nepal to a solid six-wicket win over the UAE in the first match of the Asia Cup 2024 on Friday (July 19) in Dambulla.

Choosing to bowl first, Nepal’s bowlers and fielders were sharp, limiting UAE to a below-par score of 115 on a good batting pitch. Khadka’s standout innings was crucial as Nepal chased down the target with 23 balls to spare, marking their first-ever win in the Asia Cup.

The difference in approach

UAE’s batting fell short due to a lack of solid partnerships. Khushi Sharma (36 off 39) and Kavisha Egodage (22 off 26) fought hard, but their innings lacked momentum. In contrast, Nepal showed clear intent and applied consistent pressure. Their bowling and fielding were solid, with only a few minor lapses.

UAE’s struggles early on

In the initial six overs, UAE scored quickly but lost three wickets. Skipper Indu Barma (3-19) took the crucial wicket of Theertha Satish, and UAE captain Esha Rohit Oza was run out. Despite some boundaries, the loss of wickets put Nepal in a strong position.

Middle overs: UAE’s batting woes

After the fielding restrictions ended, UAE struggled to maintain the run rate. They found it hard to rotate the strike and hit boundaries frequently. Nepal’s bowlers kept things tight, slowing down the scoring.

Ending on a low note

UAE hoped for a total above 120 but finished poorly. With only one boundary in the final five overs, Nepal’s bowlers remained disciplined, and UAE’s batters couldn’t accelerate. UAE ended with a total well below 120.

Nepal’s confident chase

Nepal’s chase began with Samjhana hitting two boundaries in the first over. They scored just a run more than UAE in the first six overs but managed to keep their wickets intact, putting pressure on UAE to defend a low score. Samjhana’s aggressive play set the tone for the chase.

Middle Overs: samjhana steady

Despite UAE taking a few wickets in the middle overs, they couldn’t build on their success. Samjhana continued to play aggressively, keeping the scoreboard moving and making it hard for UAE to gain momentum.

Quick finish

With just 16 runs needed from the last 30 balls, Samjhana finished the game with a flourish. Nepal completed the chase in just seven more deliveries, boosting their net run rate and morale with a swift victory.

UAE vs AFG Match Preview

This exciting match is the second in a thrilling three-match T20I series held in the UAE. Afghanistan currently leads the series 1-0 after a commanding 72-run victory in the first T20I. The United Arab Emirates won the toss and chose to bat first. Afghanistan’s early loss of Hazratullah Zazai was a promising start for Aayan Khan’s UAE. However, the monumental 137-run partnership between Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran set the tone. Before being dismissed by Junaid Siddique, Gurbaz’s quick century off 52 balls left a lasting impression. In response, the UAE’s openers, Muhammad Waseem and Khalid Shah, struggled and were dismissed early, thanks to Naveen-ul-Haq and Fazalhaq Farooqi, respectively. Despite the efforts of Samal Udawaththa, who was defeated by Farooqi, and a 33-run partnership between Basil Hameed and Vriitya Aravind, UAE faced a difficult battle.

UAE vs WI, 3rd ODI Preview

The West Indies’ three-match ODI series against the UAE concludes on Friday in Sharjah, with the series already secured. So far, the West Indies have won both ODIs by large margins, winning the first by 7 wickets and the second by 78 runs. The UAE were on the verge of being thrashed in the second ODI, but strong lower-order batting from Basil Hameed, Ali Naseer, and Aayan Afzal Khan kept them in the game. We anticipate that they will be competitive in this final ODI. The West Indies have had players ready to step up at critical moments throughout the series. They have a lot of experience and are confident of going 3-0.

Top Picks – United Arab Emirates

• Vriitya Aravind – This will be the 20 year old’s 49th ODI and he has established himself as one of the most reliable players in their top order over recent years.
• Aayan Afzal Khan – The left-arm spinner keeps the runs down and picks up wickets. Although he is only 17, his control of line and length are very impressive.

Top Picks – West Indies

• Brandon King – No player has hit more runs across this series than King. The opener has top scored for West Indies in both matches so far.
• Roston Chase – The all-rounder has picked up three wickets across the first two matches of the series. He will get plenty of turn once again in this fixture.

UAE vs WI 3rd ODI Probable Winners:

Although UAE have been well beaten in both matches, they can take plenty of positives with the performances of Ali Naseer and Aayan Afzal Khan. However, those two players are not good enough to beat West Indies on their own. We expect to see West Indies produce another strong performance with bat and ball and to go on to win the final ODI. Overall, we expect West Indies to be too strong and are betting on them to win and take the series 2-0. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.

UAE vs WI, 2nd ODI Preview

The UAE and West Indies meet again on Tuesday in Sharjah for the second of three one-day internationals (ODIs). The West Indies won the first match of the series by 7 wickets on Sunday after the UAE won the toss and chose to bat first. UAE will be disappointed with their performance on Sunday, despite some encouraging performances from some of their younger players. To cause problems for the West Indies in this ODI, they will need to perform at their peak. The West Indies demonstrated that they have far more depth than the UAE and never looked like losing on Sunday. They will be very confident of taking the series 2-0.

• Dominic Drakes- the left-arm pace bowler caught the eye for Yorkshire Vikings in last year’s T20 Blast. He bowls with good pace and gets late movement.

UAE vs WI 2nd ODI Probable Winners:

In the first ODI, West Indies were a few levels above UAE, and it would be surprising if UAE could turn things around with bat and ball in this game. After their young players impressed on Sunday, the UAE will look to their experienced players. Overall, we expect West Indies to be too strong and are betting on them to win and take the series 2-0. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.

UAE vs WI, 1st ODI Preview

The first of three One-Day International (ODI) matches between the UAE and the West Indies begins on Sunday afternoon in Sharjah. The UAE last played an ODI at the beginning of last month, when they were defeated by Nepal by 7 wickets. In March, the West Indies were defeated by South Africa by four wickets in an ODI. UAE is a competitive team, especially at home, and they will be optimistic about their chances against a weakened West Indies team. They will, however, need to perform at their peak in this match. West Indies lost their previous ODI against South Africa by 48 runs in East London. Despite not having their full strength side, they should be far too good for UAE.

UAE vs WI 1st ODI Probable Winners:

This will be an exciting first match of the series, with UAE playing in front of their home fans against West Indies, who are missing several key players. Brooks has a best ODI score of 101 not out and has five 50+ scores in his 23 innings. We anticipate UAE to have some strong moments, but we doubt they will be able to maintain their level throughout the match. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.
