UAE indoor team win World Master Series title

Dubai: The UAE Indoor cricket team made up of experienced players displayed their might in the recently concluded World Master Series at Cape Town to emerge as the champions.

###

South Africa hosted this series, with the best indoor cricketers from the world above the age of 35 taking part.

###

The UAE triumphed in the plate finals through a dominant show, overcoming England’s score of 31 with 131 of their own.

###

It was a great show from the UAE as they had lost to England in the previous qualifier game.

###

The UAE won the plate after beating Singapore, India, Sri Lanka and England.

###

The main league was won by New Zealand, who narrowly defeated the UAE — missing to score three runs in the last two balls.

###

UAE captain Vikrant Shetty, who had also made his mark as a top player for the UAE national team in international cricket, said: “This is the first time we have gone out of Dubai to participate in a World Series. So to win it is a great achievement and boost for Indoor cricket in the UAE. I thank my players, support staff and our sponsors — KG Bearings, DFS, Avicon, SFS & Omtex for making this happen.”
