UAE U20 - News & Discussion

[Penky]

Won the toss and batting first vs England. Windy/Dry so expect spinners to dominate! If we can push past 200 or so we've got a good chance

G. Willoughby (rf) 2-0-7-0, W. Suhail 2 (7b), U. Hadad 7 (8b)
End of over 3 (1 run) - UAE U20(12-1) RR 4.00

Fattah gone early He's been pants for the UAE so far, 38 runs from 6 innings now! We play him just like I do in div 1 Youths where he's been great for me, clearly the step up may be too much

[Penky]

Suhail gone now, that's a big blow

K. Darke (rfs) 3-0-10-0, J. Jubair 20 (29b), M. Murat 5 (14b)
End of over 25 (5 runs) - UAE U20(92-4) RR 3.68

I personally think we need 250 in these conditions. It should be decent for the batsmen.

Will need Jubair to score another 50 runs for us to have a chance.

G. Willoughby (rf) 10-0-53-1, M. Murat 16 (31b), M. Abdel 0 (0b)
End of over 30 (4 runs) - UAE U20(114-5) RR 3.80

I doubt we can double our current total with just the one recognised batsman left.

L. Gillies (rws) 8-1-27-3, M. Murat 21 (43b), T. Ghafur 0 (0b)
End of over 35 (6 runs) - UAE U20(136-7) RR 3.89

Killer over there puts us out of it in any case I think

[Penky]

K. Darke (rfs) 8-1-26-0, M. Murat 51 (83b), B. Zafar 0 (2b)
End of over 45 (5 runs) - UAE U20(180-8) RR 4.00

Minor heroics from Murat giving it at least a bit of respectability
Hope he can still bowl, his back's going to be pretty sore after carrying this innings

[Penky]

M. Woodcock (lm) 10-0-50-2, M. Murat 79 (101b), B. Zafar 7 (16b)
End of over 50 (7 runs) - UAE U20(217-8) RR 4.34

Incredible from Murat. If the seamers can not get mashed early I think we have a good chance

[heppa]

Superb innings from Murat. Such a steady innings considering he was on aggressive.

B. Zafar (rfm) 3-0-8-0, B. Harper 10 (19b), A. Bromley 8 (11b)
End of over 5 (6 runs) - England U20(19-0). 199 runs required from 45 overs. RR 3.80 RRR 4.42

Average start so far. If we can keep the RR below the NRR after 10 overs, I'll be happy.

[Penky]

N. Abdulah (rfs) 4-0-20-1, T. Tuntrace 23 (32b), J. Hutchison 15 (23b)
End of over 23 (6 runs) - England U20(95-2). 123 runs required from 27 overs. RR 4.13 RRR 4.56

Need wkts pls

A. Abdel (rfs) 5-0-21-2, T. Tuntrace 24 (33b), J. Baratheon 0 (0b)
End of over 24 (1 run) - England U20(96-4). 122 runs required from 26 overs. RR 4.00 RRR 4.69

Double strike from Abdel before drinks puts us in a solid position.

[Penky]

T. Ghafur (rws) 9-2-26-2, J. Baratheon 10 (28b), M. Woodcock 2 (8b)
End of over 34 (2 runs) - England U20(119-6). 99 runs required from 16 overs. RR 3.50 RRR 6.19

More good stuff from the spinners!

[Penky]

N. Abdulah (rfs) 8-0-32-4, C. Hansberry 3 (1b), K. Darke 0 (1b)
End of over 42 (9 runs) - England U20(162-9). 56 runs required from 8 overs. RR 3.86 RRR 7.00

I think we've got this one guys
Abdullah having a stormer on debut, he was one of our worries! I don't know if it's possible, but don't want him to steal MOTM from Murat with a 5fer
