UAE Cricket: Latest News, Scores and What’s Coming Up

If you’re curious about cricket in the United Arab Emirates, you’re in the right place. The UAE team has been making waves in associate cricket, and the local leagues are buzzing with talent. Here’s a quick, practical rundown of where the UAE cricket scene stands right now and what you can expect in the next few months.

Recent Results and Highlights

In the past few weeks the UAE national side played a series of One‑Day Internationals and T20 matches. They beat Oman by 23 runs in a low‑scoring thriller, thanks to a quickfire 45 from their opening batsman. The spin duo of Mohammad Naveed and Manjula Guruge kept the opposition’s run‑rate in check, taking three wickets each.

Earlier this month the Emirates Cricket Board announced a win against Nepal in a T20 qualifier. The match turned on a late surge from the middle order, with a six‑run over that swung the game. These wins have lifted UAE’s ranking in the ICC associate table, putting them in a better spot for World Cup qualifying.

Upcoming Fixtures and Tournaments

Looking ahead, the UAE will host the Tri‑Series against Hong Kong and Papua New Guinea next month. All games will be at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, so you can catch the action live or stream it online. After that, there’s the ACC Men’s Asia Cup Qualifier in September – a chance for UAE to lock in a spot in the main Asia Cup.

On the domestic front, the Emirates Premier League is set to start in October. Ten franchise teams will battle it out, featuring a mix of local stars and overseas professionals. If you enjoy fast‑pace bowling or big‑hit batting, this league promises plenty of fireworks.

For fans wanting to follow individual performances, keep an eye on striker Ahmed Raza. He’s been averaging over 40 in T20s and looks ready to become a key figure in the upcoming qualifiers. Young all‑rounder Junaid Al Saeed also made headlines with a 4‑for‑19 haul against Nepal.

Whether you’re a casual follower or a die‑hard supporter, the best way to stay updated is to follow the Emirates Cricket Board’s social channels and check the official website for match schedules. You’ll get live scores, player interviews, and behind‑the‑scenes footage – all without having to sift through unrelated sports news.

So, grab a snack, settle in, and keep an eye on UAE cricket. The team’s momentum is building, and the next few months could bring some big moments for cricket fans in the Gulf and beyond.
