UAE Women Retire Out Entire Line-up In Unusual Move, Crush Qatar By 163 Runs In Asia Qualifiers
T20 World Cup Asia Qualifiers: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) women’s cricket team pulled off a rare move during their match against Qatar in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifiers 2025 at the Terdthai Cricket Ground in Bangkok on Saturday. After dominating with the bat, the entire UAE line-up retired out to manage time, eventually winning the match by a massive margin of 163 runs.
Batting first, UAE openers Theertha Satish and captain Esha Rohit Oza gave their team a brilliant start. The duo stitched together a 192-run partnership in just 16 overs. Oza smashed 113 off 55 balls, hitting 14 fours and five sixes, while Satish supported well with a 42-ball 74 that included 11 boundaries.
With rain threats looming and declarations not allowed in T20 Internationals, UAE made a tactical decision. Every batter padded up, walked to the crease, and retired out immediately after arriving. This allowed UAE to complete their innings quickly so they could bowl before weather interruptions affected the game. It was a unique but legal strategy under T20I rules.
