Ireland suffered their first and only blow in the competition when they were beaten by Ireland in their first match. After that, they have notched up wins against Namibia and also the host nation United Arab Emirates (UAE). Scotland, who are one of the stronger sides in the competition, beat Hong Kong in their first game, following it up with wins against Netherlands and then against Oman. They have been dominant so far, and one would not best against them winning this one as well and moving on to the final.
This is the first ever edition of the Desert T20, where eight associate nations have come together in a tournament for the first time. The quality of cricket has been extremely good so far. With two more matches to go, one hopes that it lives up to the high expectations.
