Uae cricket tour 2020

The fourth game was held at the state of th art ICC global academy, used by profes- sionals from around the world. Both teams had a chance to train in the nets on a track prepared to imitate one in Lahore, but the real magic was witnessed in the middle. The U15 side came up against the side that had beaten them in the very first game. A little wiser now and a little more prepared they set about trying to set a decent total. The top order struggled to get going and wickets fell at regular intervals but the tail was to wag. Iain Westbrook and Lucas Murtagh added fifty runs between them and Tiffin posted a decent total of 165. Tiffin started well with Rasnaam picking up a wicket of his first ball and that was the story of the innings. Wickets falling and pressure building and an incredible win recorded demonstrating what had been learnt over the week.

Dune bashing and an interclub seven a side competition in the desert on the last day followed, with a trip to Dubai Mall and the awe inspiring Burj Khalifa to finish. A great week where all the plans set out to be achieved had been.

We look forward to organising more tours of this nature as the benefits far outweigh any cost or opposition. The growth of all involved was there to witness and hopeful- ly the effects will be felt for years to come.
