Kathmandu: The United Arab Emirates women’s Under-19 side recorded a remarkably swift victory on Saturday when they shot out Nepal for eight runs in 8.1 overs and chased it in 1.1 overs.
In what was a qualifier for the Under-19 T20 World Cup, UAE seamer Mahika Gaur tore through Nepal’s batting order with bowling figures of 5/2. Openers Theertha Satish, who had the highest total in the game (4 off 4 balls) and Lavanya Keny (3 off 4 balls) then sealed a 10-wicket win, finishing the chase at Bangi, Malaysia inside 7 deliveries.
Out of a total of 13 batters who took the guard from both the sides, only three could score more than the extras conceded by Nepal.
