Ahmed Raza asks for better in UAE vs Scotland

Ahmed Raza has pleaded for the Emirates batsmen to take ownership of the series comeback after a 64-run loss to Scotland in Aberdeen on Wednesday.

national team Chris Sol’s pace and Mark Watt’s left arm spin collapsed in the opening game of the Cricket World Cup League 2 three-round series.

They were eliminated with more than eight runs remaining, the latest in a string of poor Tour starts.

The national team has lost their first game in five of the six Tri-Nation series games they have played so far, and Raza said that wasn’t good enough.

“If you want an excuse, you can give so much,” UAE captain RazaSay.

“These are different wickets. We don’t play at home. But we shouldn’t investigate that at all. We’re on tour so well we can’t make any excuses.

“We want to start the series well. You don’t want to put yourself in a position to chase the series. Now we’re down 1-0 with three games left.”

national team will face the United States At the same spot on Thursday, they know points are crucial if they are to stay in the top three.

“Fighting for third is not what we want because we feel we are playing good enough cricket to fight for second or even first,” Raza said.

“The group has been together for two years, so the message is simple. The batsmen have to take ownership.

“We can’t go all out, there are eight overs to be done, 60 to be done. If you have a wicket in your hand, it’s a walk in the park.”

The UAE had to endure a heavy attack from Scotland at the start of the game.

Former Scotland captain and Aberdeen local Kyle Coetzer sent the first four balls of the day to the boundary ropes.

The hosts are unbeaten on 26 points after two rounds and it looks like they are laying the groundwork for a huge total.

So it continued as another opener for Craig Wallace, knocking Sabir Ali out for six into the adjacent garden.

The homeowner picked up the ball and threw it back. Then he said he was going to work, and if there were more balls to retrieve, they were welcome to climb the wall to do so.

Losses are limited due to Zahoor Khan’s excellent performance. First, the UAE’s most senior seafarer slowed the scoring rate and then also went into the wicket.

Sabir, a left-arm catcher in his UAE debut, profited from Zahoor’s hold with Coetzer and Chris McBride’s wicket at the other end.

From 52 without a loss, the hosts quickly became 79 with three. Callum McLeod broke down after hitting 76 of 88 balls and subsequently became one of four Zahoor victims.

Scotland’s total of 262 is different than they might have expected given the quick start.

Initially, the UAE struggled to cope with the firepower of the home team’s fastest bowler, Sole.

He allowed Muhammad Waseem to be deftly caught by MacLeod in the second slip before seeing Vriitya Aravind trailing Matt Cross.

Shortly after, when Chirag Suri went the same way as Aravind, he secured the top three that the UAE boasted.

Fortunately for the national team, the serious injury did not make things worse. The sole hits CP Rizwan twice and the helmet is disgusting.

The first was so intense that Sole finally called to get caught and bowled as the ball bounced all the way back to him.

Rizwan bravely continued the fight, only to drop a 32 when Michael Leakk’s outspin catch hit his short leg.

It’s not the first time recently that Rohan Mustafa has tried to piece together a winning total as those around him left.

The all-rounder was not out in the 102-goal vigil, but his partner was depleted when he was knocked out on 198. Watt completed the rout, scoring four points on 30 balls.
