The UAE Women’s cricket team have qualified for the impending Women’s Asia Cup tournament for the first time. They qualified after their ACC Women’s T20 Championship match was called off due to bad weather.
Under the leadership of regular captain Chaya Mughal, the UAE team was slated to face Nepal in the semi-final of the ongoing ACC Women’s T20 Championship 2022 in Kuala Lumpur. However, the match was washed out due to rain.
Apart from qualifying for the Asia Cup, they also earned an entry ticket into the final of the ongoing tournament. They will now face hosts Malaysia in the title clash on Sunday, June 26.
