For Indonesia, Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini provided the only real resistance, anchoring the innings with a patient 39 off 52 balls. Desi Wulandari was the only other batter to reach double figures, scoring 12 off 28 deliveries, as the rest of the batting order failed to counter the pressure applied by the UAE attack.
Steady Chase Secures Points
Chasing a modest target of 74, the UAE faced an early setback when they lost an opening wicket. The situation became slightly more tense when Theertha Satish fell at 17 runs in 4.1 overs, marking a potential turning point that could have invited pressure. However, the middle order remained composed to navigate the remainder of the chase.
Esha Oza stepped up to anchor the innings, top-scoring with a composed 30 off 29 balls. Her ability to rotate the strike and find the boundary when necessary kept the required run rate well under control. Supported by Rinitha Rajith, Oza ensured there were no further alarms as the team reached their target of 75/4 to seal the win.
The victory highlights the UAE's dominance in the field and their ability to manage a low-scoring chase with maturity. With this result, the UAE continues their campaign in the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup T20, while Indonesia will look to regroup following a difficult outing with the bat.
