UAE Cricket: What’s Happening Right Now

UAE cricket has been on a roll this season, and fans are hungry for the latest scoop. Whether you’re tracking the national team’s progress in the ICC leagues or following the domestic T20 scene, there’s a lot to keep an eye on. This page pulls together the most useful info in one place so you don’t have to chase dozens of sites.

Upcoming Matches

The next big fixture for the UAE squad is the three‑day clash against Nepal on 12 November, followed by a T20 showdown with Oman on 18 November. Both games will be streamed live on the ICC platform, and local broadcasters will carry the action in the Gulf. If you’re planning to attend, tickets go on sale this Friday, and early‑bird prices are still available.

Key Players to Watch

All‑rounder Khalid Ahmed has been in fine form, averaging 45 with the bat and holding a strike‑rate above 130 in the recent T20 series. Fast bowler Muhammad Naveed continues to lead the pace attack, regularly clocking 135 km/h and picking up crucial wickets in the death overs. Keep an eye on youngster Yasir Ali, who’s been selected for the upcoming ODI squad after a standout domestic season.

Following the matches is simple. The ICC app offers real‑time scores, push notifications for wickets, and a concise match summary at the end of each game. For a deeper dive, YouTube channels like ‘Cricket Gulf’ break down the highlights and provide player interviews. Social media feeds on Twitter and Instagram also post quick updates, often within seconds of a boundary or a wicket.

Recent performances have shown the UAE team’s growing confidence. In the latest ICC World Cricket League Division Two, they defeated Scotland by 12 runs, a win that boosted their ranking and secured a spot in the upcoming qualifiers. The batting line‑up has become more aggressive, while the bowlers have sharpened their variations, especially the slower ball and yorker.

Want to watch the games live? In the UAE, the sports network ‘OSN Sports’ carries the international fixtures, and the streaming service ‘Shahid’ offers on‑demand replays. If you’re outside the Gulf, platforms like Sony LIV and FanCode hold the broadcasting rights for Indian viewers, while the official ICC website streams to most other regions.
