Bugger about the loss yesterday.

Hopefully the lads can turn it around in Match 3.

Apologies for no write ups. I’ve been flat out this week!

G. Phanigso (rfm) 3-0-14-0, J. Fattah 7 (15b), J. Jubair 2 (4b)
End of over 5 (3 runs) - UAE U20(19-1) RR 3.80

Batting first vs Zim today guys. Not the best start on a Dry against the seamers! I'm really starting to hate bowling triggers

[Penky]

R. Lockwood (rws) 5-0-32-1, J. Jubair 32 (48b), W. Suhail 17 (17b)
End of over 20 (7 runs) - UAE U20(105-2) RR 5.25

Solid so far, need one of these guys to finally earn their money and press on!

J. van Zwienen (rm) 6-0-27-1, J. Jubair 38 (64b), W. Suhail 30 (43b)
End of over 27 (3 runs) - UAE U20(126-2) RR 4.67

Getting stifled a little now but we're still well ahead of where I was expecting at this point!

[Penky]

R. Mathieson (rfs) 10-1-35-1, A. Imad 13 (15b), J. Jubair 68 (97b)
End of over 40 (7 runs) - UAE U20(190-4) RR 4.75

Big last 10 now please! 250 I'd be pleased with, but if we can push towards 270 that'd be fantastic

[Penky]

N. Abdulah (rfs) 10-1-58-2, U. Lukeman 74 (83b), S. Hatton 5 (3b)
End of over 46 (6 runs) - Zimbabwe U20(221-6). 24 runs required from 4 overs. RR 4.80 RRR 6.00

Will be a gutting one this, we've been ahead the entire game but one massive partnership did for us

[Penky]

Disappointing 4 wicket loss in the end. Ireland defended less comfortably in the same conditions
Dominated the game for the first 80 overs, then fell apart in the last 20

[heppa]

We created the chances to win that, but missed way too many.

[MOD-MrMoose]

Sorry all been flat out this week!

Might give the write ups a miss this tour and hopefully be back on board next tour!

[Penky]

No worries Moose, you deserve a break I'll do a little summary at the end of the tour

[Penky]

F. Saheed (rfs) 4-0-12-2, M. Gibson 36 (67b), S. Aylward 9 (13b)
End of over 20 (3 runs) - Ireland U20(72-2) RR 3.60

Fairly even start so far. Wickets around drinks please!

[Penky]

G. Khatib (lm) 7-0-26-1, J. Mulcahy 1 (3b), F. Boyne 5 (14b)
End of over 25 (2 runs) - Ireland U20(86-4) RR 3.44

Ooh they listened! getting rid of the lower order has been a problem for us the last couple of games though!

[Penky]

M. Murat (rm) 9.1-1-42-2, E. Connolly 10 (11b)
End of over 49 (maiden) - Ireland U20(205-10) RR 4.18

Certainly chaseable!

Incredible lower order partnership saving our asses against Pakistan. Nice to be on the right end of one of these!
