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.

Lyon: World Test Championship Final 2025 is an important step to becoming one of the great Australian teams
Nathan Lyon believes the ICC World Test Championship Final 2025 represents a significant step in Australia's quest to become one of the all-time great Test teams. The 37-year-old off-spinner is part of Andrew McDonald's squad to take on South Africa at Lord's in the finale of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle. Australia will be looking to defend the title they won in 2023 after beating India by 209 runs at The Oval, and Lyon, who took the match-winning wicket of Mohammed Siraj in that victory, wants to build on the progress that has been made since then. 'It is important that we look at this week as a celebration piece,' he said. 'We've done incredibly well over the last couple of years, at home and away, and that is something that as a team, we should be really proud of. 'In my eyes, we're on a journey to becoming a great Australian team. We're not there yet, I'm well aware of that, but that's our goal too. 'This game is another step up that ladder.' Australia finished second in the league table during the 2023-25 WTC cycle, having claimed 67.54 per cent of the points on offer to them. They were also the only nation not to lose a series in that time, winning four of the six series they played. Their percentage was only bettered by the table-topping Proteas' 69.44 per cent. Lyon, a New South Wales native, has taken 56 wickets against South Africa in 18 matches during his career and expects nothing less than a fierce contest with the side captained by Temba Bavuma. 'Yes, we've been here before, but South Africa qualified first during this World Test Championship,' he continued. 'Throughout these two years, they've done something really well to finish top, and so they deserve that home changing room leading into this game. 'It's international cricket. We're expecting an extremely hard challenge and there's going to be a lot of problems out there, but we're going to have to be good enough to solve those problems ASAP.' Australia have plenty of firepower within their bowling ranks for this match, with five of those selected within the top 14 of the ICC Men's Test Bowling rankings. Lyon himself sits fifth on that list, with captain Pat Cummins in third, Josh Hazlewood in fourth, with Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland in 11th and 14th, respectively. Cummins (73), Starc (72) and Lyon (66) also currently occupy positions two through four on the leading wicket-takers list for this edition of the WTC, with only India's Jasprit Bumrah ahead of them with 77 wickets. The presence of multiple experienced and skilled bowlers in the Australian camp is only improving the standards in training, revealed Lyon. 'As a bowling squad, we are very proud of where we are currently at,' he said. 'But we're not leaving any stone unturned and we're still trying to get better as a bowling group. 'I feel that spurs each and every one of us on to get better.' Australia last played Test cricket in England during the 2023 Ashes series – the opening contest of the 2023-25 WTC cycle – but many from the squad have since taken the opportunity to return to play on the shores of the old rival. Lyon played for Lancashire in 2024, while Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green and Beau Webster have represented Glamorgan, Gloucestershire and Warwickshire, respectively, this season. Green's stint in England has been particularly impressive, with the all-rounder plundering 467 runs in just five County Championship Division 2 matches at an average of 66.71. He has also scored three hundreds, including match-winning knocks of 128 and 67 not out against Kent in mid-May. And Lyon feels the 26-year-old will learn a lot from his stint in the West Country. 'It's been amazing to have Greeny over here,' he added. 'I think he's played four or five games for Gloucestershire and done really well. So, hopefully, that gives him the confidence to pick things up from where he left off. 'It's important, especially for the younger players, like Greeny, to come over here and play county cricket. 'I feel like you get a lot of understanding of how the game is played over here in these conditions, how the Dukes ball moves around and how the overhead conditions play a role.' ENDS

Dubai: How an 82-year-old man played cricket with teenagers and inspired them
At a time when Lamine Yamal, FC Barcelona's Spanish teen sensation, and Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old IPL wonderkid, have astounded the world with their explosive talent and youthful flair, an octogenarian in Dubai is quietly inspiring the UAE's young cricketers to work hard for a shot at glory. Freddy Sidhwa is not a legendary cricketer, but his passion for the game is the stuff of legend. The 82-year-old Dubai-based Indian businessman still plays cricket every weekend at Ocean Fair Cricket Ground, a scenic cricket facility he built in the Dubai Investment Park. A left-arm spinner, Sidhwa even claimed the wickets of Brendon McCullum, Rashid Khan and Dale Steyn in community matches at Lord's Cricket Ground in London. But more than those unforgettable moments at the world's most iconic cricket stadium, it's Sidhwa's unwavering commitment to the game that has inspired many in the UAE. Gopal Jasapara, head coach of Dubai-based G Force Cricket Academy, recently took his Under 14 team for a match with Sidhwa's side at Ocean Fair Cricket Ground. 'I wanted my boys to learn from Mr Sidhwa about passion and discipline. I had 12 and 13-year-old boys who played against an 82-year-old man,' Jasapara told the Khaleej Times. 'He is 82, but he still plays every Sunday. He never leaves the ground until the end of the match. To see his passion is an incredible experience.' The secret to Sidhwa's fitness is his discipline, as he wakes up at 3 every morning and practices yoga to keep his body and mind in perfect shape. "Everything is in your mind, you have to be mentally strong. If you are a mentally strong person, you can achieve everything," Sidhwa had said during an interview with Khaleej Times in 2023 after playing a game of T20 cricket at his ground. It was a big motivation for the G Force Academy team to see Sidhwa give his heart and soul to the game. 'You know he also built a cricket team, brought players from Pakistan and India and gave them jobs. It's very hard to find people like him,' Jasapara said. 'So sharing the cricket ground with him was not only a great experience for our boys, but it also taught them important lessons that will hopefully help them in every aspect of life, not just cricket.'

Confident Smith relishing Lord's reunion
The Home of Cricket is where the heart is for Steve Smith, and the batting great believes Australia's excellent Lord's record puts them in a strong position for the ICC World Test Championship Final 2025. Australia defend their title against South Africa from Wednesday, and they could not have hand-picked a better venue outside of their home country. Traditionally, Australia have always thrived at Lord's. They have won two of their last three Test matches here and were unbeaten between 1934 and 2009 – a run of 18 Tests. Add to that, they have won seven of their last 10 ODIs since 2005. As you would expect for a player with 36 Test centuries and an average of 56.74, Smith has an excellent Lord's record as well. He scored a double-century in an Ashes Test 10 years ago, and 110 in 2023, helping him to 525 runs in total and an average of 58.33. Indeed, he is just 51 runs away from becoming the highest-scoring overseas player in Lord's history – an honour that currently belongs to his countryman Warren Bardsley, who last walked through the Long Room with pads on 99 years ago. So, it is no wonder Smith – relaxed and refreshed after a three-month break from cricket – is in a confident mood. 'We have been training really well, the last week or so,' he said. 'The batters feel like they are in a good place, now we will go out and play. We have very fond memories of the World Test Championship Final from down the road at The Oval. 'Coming here to Lord's, it's a place we have traditionally played good cricket so we are excited about the prospect of facing South Africa here. 'The Dukes ball is a bit different to what we have with our home and away games most of the time, but we are excited about this contest.' Breaking the habit of a lifetime, Smith has downed tools since the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025, where Australia lost in the semi-finals to India. Even in his time off, he normally keeps a bat close at hand so he can practice in the mirror. But this time, he opted for a clean break and peppered his social media channels with updates of his life in New York City with wife Dani. At 36, Smith is refusing to look too far into the future and has previously conceded this may well be his last appearance at Lord's – with Australia not due to play here again until 2027. Still, with four Test hundreds in his last eight innings, he remains one of the best players in the world, and so it is no surprise that, when he picked up a bat again last week, things immediately clicked into place. And it is a good thing it did. South Africa boast one of the best bowling attacks in the world, led by Kagiso Rabada – second in the ICC Men's Test Bowling rankings – and Marco Jansen, and Smith admits he and his fellow batters will be under pressure. 'Us batters have our work cut out,' he said. 'They're a good side, they're here for a reason. South Africa have been a good cricket side for a long time. 'I have had a good break, had a couple of months off, and had a first hit the other day, and it has clicked into place. 'It is a nice place to bat, I have had some success. It takes time to get used to the slope, but you get value for shots, especially hitting down the hill. 'It can be nice to hit on. It can be tricky when it moves around, batting here is about playing what is in front of you. 'Spin will play a big part as the game goes on as well. It is dry, there has not been too much rain, it does look dry, and I think spin will come into it.' Smith has seen it all and won it all too. A world champion in all three formats, he admits Australia's 2023 World Test Championship success ranks as high as any other. 'It was right up there to win it,' he said. 'It was great to win a Test Champ final, and be back here to defend our crown. We have had a good team for four years now and we're desperate to defend it.' ENDS
