In a thrilling encounter at the ICC CWC League 2, the UAE secured a decisive five-wicket victory against Nepal, thanks to a standout performance by Aryansh Sharma. The young batsman delivered a masterful 98 runs, narrowly missing a century, and was ably supported by Alishan Sharafu, who contributed a solid 45. Together, they guided the UAE to successfully chase down Nepal’s target of 234 in just 43.3 overs. Earlier in the match, Nepal had posted a total of 233 all out, largely due to a brilliant century by Rohit Paudel, who scored 109. However, the UAE’s bowlers, led by Zahid Ali with four wickets and Junaid Siddique with three, managed to restrict Nepal’s innings. This victory not only highlights the UAE’s growing prowess in cricket but also strengthens their position in the qualifying event for the 2027 ICC World Cup.
