Match Analysis

United Arab Emirates produced a dominant performance to secure a massive 273-run victory over Japan Under-19s at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Batting first, UAE posted an imposing 325/7 in their allotted 50 overs, with Aryan Saxena leading the charge. The opener smashed an unbeaten 150 off 120 balls, including 16 fours and 7 sixes, anchoring the UAE innings. Akshat Rai contributed a solid 53, while Aayan Afzal Khan (45) and Yayin Rai (34) provided useful support, ensuring a comprehensive total. Japan’s bowlers, led by Kiefer Yamamoto-Lake (4/42), struggled to contain the flow of runs.

Chasing a daunting target of 326, Japan’s reply was swiftly curtailed by UAE’s bowlers. The top order collapsed early, with only Nihar Parmar (23) and Koji Abe (17) offering resistance. Japan’s middle and lower order crumbled under pressure, and they were bowled out for just 52 in 24.1 overs. Uddish Suri was the star with the ball, claiming 4 wickets for 2 runs.
