KUWAIT CITY, Mar 3:  Captain Aslam won the toss and opted to bat first, setting the stage for an impressive display by the Kuwaiti batters. Ravija Sandaruwan’s explosive innings in the powerplay set the tone, smashing 64 runs off just 34 balls, including four towering sixes.

Continuing the onslaught, Mohammad Amin showcased his consistent form with a remarkable 73 runs, contributing significantly to Kuwait’s formidable total of 296 runs. Supported by the reliable all-rounders Yasin Patel and Shiraz Khan, Kuwait’s batting lineup exhibited depth and resilience.

In reply, Tanzania struggled to mount a challenge, losing wickets at regular intervals and failing to come close to the target. Despite Mohamed Omary’s commendable 44 runs, the team faltered against Kuwait’s exceptional spin bowling. Yasin Patel’s four-wicket haul and Captain Aslam’s three wickets played pivotal roles in restricting Tanzania to 145 runs, sealing Kuwait’s championship victory.

This triumph represents a historic milestone for Kuwait cricket, marking their inaugural championship title in an ICC 50 overs tournament. The achievement not only grants Kuwait List A status from the ICC but also underscores the nation’s progress in the international cricket arena. Mohammad Amin’s stellar performance earned him the well-deserved Man of the Match award, highlighting his invaluable contribution to Kuwait’s success in the pivotal encounter and throughout the tournament.
