Dubai, Sep 10
Kuldeep Yadav and Shivam Dube starred with the ball as India bundled out United Arab Emirates (UAE) for just 57 in their opening match of the 2025 Men’s T20 Asia Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
Axar joined the wicket-taker’s list by trapping Simranjeet Singh lbw with a flighted delivery gripping and turning as well, while Dube added another scalp by jagging one back in to dismiss Dhruv Parashar in the same fashion. After Junaid Siddique skied one to mid-wicket off Dube, Kuldeep ended UAE’s misery by having Haider Ali caught behind to end with a four-fer.
Brief Scores: UAE 57 in 13.1 overs (Alishan Sharafu 22, Muhammad Waseem 19; Kuldeep Yadav 4-7, Shivam Dube 3-4) against India
