Surprise tactic pays off for UAE in Women's T20WC Qualifier
In a bizarre turn of events, after accumulating 192 runs from their first 16 overs, the UAE decided to retire out their entire batting line-up under overcast conditions to save themselves time in the Women's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier encounter against Qatar.
The move paid off later in the game, when Esha Oza's side bowled Qatar out for merely 29, thus securing a mammoth win and a heavy net run rate advantage.
The UAE batted first and racked up quick runs on the back of inspiring performances from Oza (113 from 55 balls with 19 boundaries including five sixes) and Theertha Satish (74 off 42 with 11 fours).
However, with rain looming, UAE management - led by experieced all-rounder and coach Ahmed Raza - decided at the 16-over mark that they had more than enough runs to play with.

Lack of Test preparation no bother for South Africa ahead of World Test Championship final
A lack of preparation for the World Test Championship final will be no problem for South Africa as they get set to take on Australia at Lord's, opener Aiden Markram said on Sunday. South Africa last played a Test in January when they beat Pakistan to book a place in the WTC final and their hopes of an extensive warm-up last week were stymied as their four-day match with Zimbabwe was largely rained out. 'A lot of our series have been two Test series, so in order to win them, you can't start slow, so I suppose there's a little bit of that that's helped us along the way,' Markram told a press conference at Lord's, where the WTC final begins on Wednesday. 'We know the importance of starting well, trying to get ahead of the game early and how important each session is going to be, because there's no second dip at it. 'We have to make sure we hit the ground running and are nice and sharp come day one,' he added. South Africa qualified for the final with a seven-match winning streak but also having played seven Tests fewer than Australia, who are defending champions. 'We've had a lot fewer games, so I suppose every time you get in, everyone's obviously getting super pumped up to play Test cricket because we don't play as much of it,' Markram said. South African cricket have a long history of coming close but failing in limited overs tournaments, but Markram felt that would have no impact on their first WTC final. 'This team's obviously very different (in) personnel to what the white-ball squad was, so we haven't addressed it too much,' he said. 'The few of us that have been a part of previous ICC events that didn't go our way, have dealt with it. We've obviously chatted to each other and made sure we've buried it nicely and taken some good lessons from it. 'But besides from that now it's more about the excitement of having another opportunity to actually do the job. So it's pretty much where the mind is at the moment. If we play good cricket, you give ourselves at least a fairly good chance of winning.' Australia's Hazlewood does not want to miss WTC final again: A calf injury forced Josh Hazlewood to miss being part of Australia's World Test Championship win two years ago and the fast bowler is keen to avoid a second such heartbreak as they defend their WTC title next week. Hazlewood is vying with Scott Boland to claim the last slot in Australia's pace attack for the final. The 34-year-old arrived late in England, after bowling Royal Challengers Bengaluru to their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title on Tuesday. 'I was quite close last time,' Hazlewood, who recently recovered from a should injury, said of the 2023 final he missed. 'But I feel in much better place this time around, and I think in any format, my numbers over the last two years have been pretty good, so I've got a lot to fall back on. 'Skill wise, I still feel like I'm bowling the best I have in my career and it's just a matter of the body holding up, which it has been in the last few months.' Hazlewood was Bengaluru's most successful bowler in the IPL but he will need to shift from 20-overs cricket in India to a different format and the different English conditions. Adjusting the length would be particularly crucial, he said. 'In the IPL games, I was probably hitting around that seven-to nine-meters in the powerplay, and not really threatening the stumps as much as you want to in test cricket, in particular here in England,' he said. 'So, it'll just be about pushing that length and touch fuller and still getting that zip through the keeper.'

UAE can still go to World Cup with 'great coach' Cosmin Olaroiu, says Caio Canedo
Caio Canedo, the UAE forward, says the national team still believe they can qualify for the World Cup, even if the route to get there has now changed. A goalless draw with Uzbekistan in Abu Dhabi on Thursday night sent the Central Asian side directly to the finals in United States, Canada and Mexico next year. The UAE will instead face an extra phase of the qualifying process. They will play in a three-team pool over the course of a week in October, alongside two other third or fourth placed sides from the third round of Asian qualifying. The winners of that will go to the World Cup. Those will be the 13th and 14th matches the UAE will have played in the convoluted competition structure in Asia. Even then, it is possible the process could be extended into an extra two rounds. The second placed sides in October's tournament will then face play-offs to make it into an intercontinental tournament which will decide the final qualifiers for the World Cup. Despite the seemingly never-ending journey, Canedo said the UAE 'project' still feels new. That is because of the belated arrival of Cosmin Olaroiu as coach, in a move which has apparently infused the squad with new belief. Candeo spoke after Thursday's goalless draw against Uzbekistan in Abu Dhabi that left them third in Group A of Asian qualifying. His comments came before the Football Association on Sunday stood down two of his teammates, Khaled Al Dhanhani and Sultan Adil, from the squad travelling to Kyrgyzstan for Tuesday's final match for an unspecified 'violation'. 'There is a feeling of disappointment because only the victory mattered, but we can still go to the World Cup, just in a different way,' Canedo said. 'If you see the players now, nobody is happy. But we have to believe in the project, we have to believe in the new coach, a great coach with new ideas. 'It is still the beginning, with a new project and ideas and we are all working together. We have got to keep going. We still have another way to go through.' Canedo, the Al Wasl forward, was introduced late on against Uzbekistan as the home side tried to find a way through a resolute backline. They fell short, though, as the visitors secured the point they needed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time. 'We knew it would be difficult,' Canedo said. 'We were very optimistic to win, and I think the team played a good game. 'We fought, and the circumstances of the game meant they would play with five [at the back], tall guys, who were physically strong. 'We had chances, and they just had one when they hit the post. We are building an identity, a new project, new idea, new formation and new players. 'We need time. Of course, we don't have this time, but we need it. There are no excuses, we just have to keep working hard, talk less, and we still have a chance to go through.' Canedo, Hareb Abdullah and Yahya Al Ghassani were all introduced as second-half substitutes. Each of them has had an impact on the UAE's qualifying campaign, even though they were light on game time for their club sides at times last season. For his first match in charge, Olaroiu brought Ali Saleh and Majed Hassan back into the starting line up after long absences. Each has been playing regularly in the UAE Pro League; Saleh as captain of Al Wasl, and Hassan in the engine room of Olaroiu's Sharjah side who were runners-up to Shabab Al Ahli. Olaroiu said after the draw against Uzbekistan the absence of national team players from club duty is a problem that needs to be solved. 'When we thought about the starting game, we thought about the players who play regularly in their clubs, because they have to have minutes in their legs,' Olaroiu said. 'That is one thing we have to have in consideration when we select the first XI. We need the players to play and this is a problem. Some of the players don't play too much in their clubs.' The UAE will face Kyrgyzstan in Bishkek on Tuesday in their last match in this phase of Asian qualifying.

UAE clubs support FA's decision to fine and ban Khalid Al Dhanhani and Sultan Adil
The clubs of the two players thrown out of the UAE team have backed the decision of the Football Association. The governing body announced on Sunday that Khalid Al Dhanhani and Sultan Adil have been fined and banned for misconduct on national team duty. The duo were hit with Dh500,000 fines and removed from the squad which travelled to Kyrgyzstan on Sunday evening for a World Cup qualifier. They will also have to serve five match bans from domestic football. Although the specifics of the 'violation' have not been made public, the FA's decision has been supported by each of the players' clubs. In response to the controversy, Al Dhanhani released a social media post asking for forgiveness. The Sharjah right-back has been one of the mainstays of the national team's quest for World Cup qualification. He was in the starting XI when the side had their hopes of automatic qualification ended by a goalless draw against Uzbekistan in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. The result means the UAE now face an additional round of matches in their bid to make it to next year's finals in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The new UAE manager, Cosmin Olaroiu, has limited time with his players before that event in October. As such, he will be frustrated to have lost two key figures from his squad for the last match of round three of Asian qualifying, against Kyrgyzstan in Bishkek. Al Dhanhani was a pillar of Olaroiu's highly successful spell as Sharjah coach, which was the role he left to take up the UAE post. His previous employers said they supported the FA's decision, and that they would investigate the issue themselves. 'While the company affirms its full respect for the [FA's] decisions and regulations, it announces that it will initiate the necessary disciplinary measures against the player,' Sharjah wrote in a statement. '[That will be] in accordance with the club's internal regulations, reflecting its commitment to the principles of discipline and responsibility. "The club regrets the occurrence of such behaviour during the national team's camp and emphasises that representing the country is a great honour that requires all players to demonstrate professional conduct and complete discipline. "The club also renews its continued support for the national teams and affirms its commitment to preparing its players to be role models on and off the field, reflecting the honorable image of Emirati football.' Adil's participation in round three of the qualifying campaign, by contrast to Al Dhanhani's, has been beset by injuries. The Shabab Al Ahli striker has been limited by a long-standing knee issue to a couple of cameo appearances off the bench. He has had enough time, though, to make a significant impact that shows his worth. After being sent on at half time in the game against North Korea in Riyadh earlier this year, he scored a dramatic late winner. That goal guaranteed the UAE's continued participation in the qualifiers. It confirmed the UAE's place at the competition in October, which pits them against the other third and fourth-place finishers from this round of qualifying. Adil's club, Shabab Al Ahli, said they would 'take the necessary disciplinary measures against the player in accordance with its internal regulations' after he was thrown out. 'The club affirms its strong rejection and condemnation of any behaviour that contravenes the rules and regulations of national teams and the [FA],' the club wrote in a statement. '[It] renews its firm commitment to supporting the national teams and raising the name of the UAE in regional and international forums. 'Representing the national team is a great honour and a lofty goal for every player. Players are ambassadors for the nation and bear the responsibility of reflecting an honorable image through their commitment to values, discipline, and sportsmanship.' The national team will have one training session at the Spartak Stadium in Bishkek on Monday, before they face Kyrgyzstan at the same venue the following evening.
