Canada Vs United Arab Emirates
ICC CWC League 2, Canada vs UAE ODI match is live at Dubai International Stadium today. UAE team won the toss and they decided to bowl first. Meanwhile Canada Almost done their batting but only 2 bowls left from 50 overs and delay occured due to rainy weather. Well Canada have made estimate 241 runs already which is good runs to win the match if they could bowl well. Their top order batsman made some low runs and 4 wickets gone at 88 runs. After that, Harsh Thaker opt to bat and have made his legendary century, 111 runs from 113 and not out. Many players gone but Harsh Thaker is still on the field. Now waiting for UAE to start batting which is still depends on weather
Well.. this is turning out to be a very exciting match. United Arab Emirates needs another 55 runs to win against Canada, and the required run rate is well under 9 per over. And more importantly, they have 6 wickets in hand, with Rahul Chopra and Basil Hameed at the crease. At this point, I would say that the advantage is with the UAE. Canada surprised everyone by winning the first two matches in this series, but I am afraid that they are going to taste defeat today. Dillon Heyliger has 3 overs remaining. Let's see what he can do.
Well, it a match between two teams where in the national squad most of the players are not native
Anyway, UAE had a good chance. But they were unable to win. the strike rate of the players of UAE were really bad.
CP Rizwan was probably another reason why UAE actually lost. Well, everyone had a bad strike rate but the one that was done by him outshines others.
After the fourth wicket had fallen for the UAE, they lost wickets at regular intervals, which was the biggest problem
The unfortunate loosing streak of UAE continues as it loses by a small margin in slightly reduced gameplay. Canada nearly struggled batting first. A century from Harsh Thaker made them a good score of 241. UAE continued a good chase but were not able to get to the reduced target of 237 in 46th over. They started better but their mid and low level batsmen couldn't score at a faster pace. The result means UAE would remain on the bottom of the league 2 table for some time now. They have one more game to be played with scotland and even though they win, they'll don't have a better run rate than Nepal.
A loss by 8 runs was definitely very close. And it also must have been pretty heartbreaking. I honestly believe that the UAE had a real chance to win this match. But credit to Canada for being able to pick up wickets regularly. Also, credit to them for drying up the runs. These two are the only reasons why they were able to win this match.
