ACC Men’s Premier Cup 2023, Match 9, Qatar vs Saudi Arabia: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
The ninth match of the ACC Men’s Premier Cup 2023 will see Qatar take on Saudi Arabia. The Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur will host this clash on Saturday, April 22.
Qatar didn’t have the best of starts to the competition. They faced Oman in their opening game and suffered a loss. They will hope to bounce back when they take the field against Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
Bowling first, Muhammad Murad and Amir Farooq picked up three wickets each, which helped them restrict Oman to 249/8. Skipper Mohammed Rizlan top-scored with 43 but a lack of contributions from the other batters resulted in them getting bundled out on 209 to lose the game by 40 runs.
Saudi Arabia also lost their opening fixture. They faced Malaysia in their first game and suffered a heavy loss. They will have to put in a much-improved performance in their next game against Qatar.
In their first game, the batters struggled to get going as they were knocked over on 153 by Malaysia. Zain Ul Abidin picked up two wickets but the other bowlers failed to step up as the Malaysian side chased down the total in just 21.2 overs.
