It was a blink-and-you-miss. The UAE Under-19 girls marched on in the ICC Under-19 Asia World Cup Qualifiers, making short work of Nepal in Malaysia on Saturday.

After opening their campaign with a stellar 160-run victory over Bhutan on Friday, the UAE girls turned it on in style by mauling Nepal by a comprehensive 10 wickets.


Opting to bat, Nepal had absolutely no answer to Mahika Gaur, who snared five wickets, to skittle them out for just eight runs. Indhuja Nandakumar too played a major part, picking up three wickets.

Then, openers — captain Theertha Satish and Lavanya Keny knocked off the runs in seven balls.


Following a rest day on Sunday, the UAE take on hosts Malaysia in their next game on Monday.
