UAE Women Claim One of Cricket’s Fastest-Ever T20 Victories
Facing Saudi Arabia in their opening match, the UAE secured a dominant 10-wicket win, chasing down the target in just 0.5 overs.
The UAE Women’s Cricket Team has kicked off the ACC Women’s Premier Cup in spectacular fashion, recording one of the fastest victories in T20 cricket history.
Facing Saudi Arabia in their opening match, the UAE secured a dominant 10-wicket win, chasing down the target in just 0.5 overs; that's only five balls. To put that into perspective, a full T20 match allows each team up to 120 deliveries, making the UAE's lightning-fast finish one of the quickest ever seen in the format.
The achievement places the team among a select group in international cricket, with only a handful of sides having completed a chase with more balls to spare. What's even more impressive is that this isn't the first time the UAE women have made history against Saudi Arabia. Four years ago, they recorded their previous fastest victory over the same opponents, highlighting the team's continued rise on the international stage.
For a team that has quietly become one of the UAE's most successful sporting sides, this latest result is another reminder that the nation's women cricketers are rewriting the record books.
