Congratulations UAE for becoming champions of Gulf Cricket T20I Championship tournament, in final game UAE give brilliant performance won the game in thriller contest by just 2 runs. UAE played first and made only 153 runs, UAE opener's didn't start well lost Skipper wicket at just 6 runs. Alishan Sharafu Ali contributed 28 runs by facing just 17 deliveries with 3 four and 2 sixes. Sadly KUW team failed chase down the target All out at 151 runs. Meet Bhavsar played an brilliant knock of 72 runs by facing 54 balls with 6 fours and three sixes but didn't win game. Muhammad Jawadullah takes two wickets while Ali naseer also took two wicket while other bowlers also bowled well and helped UAE to become champion.
Even though I didn't watch the match, I still feel very bad for the Kuwaiti team after seeing the result of the match, even though I had an expectation that the United Arab Emirates would win this match. However, they won this match, but they came back from a complete loss.
This match reminds me of the Asian Cricket Cup performance of Bangladesh where Bangladesh lost once to India and once to Pakistan by a margin of
just one or two runs. I can at least understand how painful it is for the players of those cricket teams and their fans. So instead of congratulating the United Arab Emirates, I would like to applaud the performance of the Kuwaiti team because even though they were a weaker team than the United Arab Emirates team, they still delivered a very competitive and exciting match in the final.
Practically speaking it can be said that little things can lead to big accidents when luck is not there. Kuwait needed just seven runs in the last over where five runs were completed with the help of a single and a four. However, to complete only two nights, two consecutive wickets fell, meaning Kuwait was defeated by two runs.
Meet Bhavsar was a set batsman but it was unthinkable for him to get out like that. Although there were enough balls but only due to lack of planning the match was lost. Yes but the match is full of competition it has to be said but UAE team has more experience than Kuwait so UAE win here only for experience.
