Delhi: The United Arab Emirates women cricket team achieved a wonderful achievement in international cricket on Saturday, when they made history by ‘retired out’ all 10 batsmen in a T20I match.
In the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Asia Region Qualifier 2025 match played at the Terdhai Cricket Ground in Bangkok, Thailand, UAE scored 192 runs in just 16 overs, batting against Qatar. After this, the team took a strategic decision and ended its innings.
Since the innings of limited overs cannot be declared (declare), the UAE batsman came to the field one by one and returned to the first time in the history of international cricket.
In view of the cloudy and the possibility of rain, the UAE team management decided to pursue the match fast. At the end of the 16th over, with a big score, the team’s head coach and former all -rounder Ahmed Raza decided to end the innings.
The coach was confident that the score of 192 runs was enough, and he took this bold decision to get the results in the match before the rain.
Openers Isha Oka and pilgrim Satish gave a bang. Oka scored 113 runs in 55 balls, including 14 fours and 5 sixes, while Satish added 74 runs in 42 balls. The entire UAE team left the field without losing any wicket and remaining four overs left. The remaining 8 players who did not face a single ball were also declared ‘retired out’.
In response, Qatar’s team was reduced to only 29 runs. Only three batsmen could score runs in the entire innings, in which Rizfa Bano Emmanuel scored 20 out of 29 alone.
In this match, a total of 15 players were dismissed on ‘Duck’, which is a new record in women’s T20I cricket.
2025 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier, which is hosting Thailand, is an important part of the qualification process for the 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup. The top two teams of this tournament will make it to the global qualifier.
