T20 format is known for its fast-paced nature, and over the years, there have been plenty of thrilling games that have caught the attention of general public. However, the UAE team has now surprised everyone with their unthinkable act in the Women T20 WC Asia Qualifier 2025, by retiring out all their batters.

UAE Women Demolish Qatar Women By 163 Runs

UAE Women batted first and raced to 192 in 16 overs without a loss of a single wicket. However, with rain forecast in Bangkok, the venue of the game, UAE decided to declare their innings. There is no declaration rule in T20Is though, so UAE decided to retire out all their batters by calling them out on the field. It was an unprecented move in the history of the game, and UAE captain and management would have to be appreciated for their bold and intelligent move.

For UAE Women, Esha Rohit Oza scored an unbeaten century with 113 off 55 balls. The other opener, Theertha Satish, scored 74 from 42 balls. It was more than enough for Qatar, as they were bowled out for just 29. Michelle Botha picked three wickets. Katie Thompson grabbed two and overall UAE women completely dominated Qatar Women to notch up a huge win of 163 runs.

It was the second win for UAE in as many games and currently, they are at the top of Group B which contains Malaysia Women and Qatar Women. There are three groups in the Women's T20 WC Asia Qualifier 2025, and UAE with their dominating two wins look like the best in the tournament.
