Kuwait- W won by 7 Wickets
Kuwait Women continued their impressive run in the GCC Women’s T20I Championship in Oman with another commanding performance, securing back-to-back victories and handing Zeefa Jilani her second consecutive Player of the Match honor.
In their latest match against Bahrain Women, Kuwait chased down a modest target with clinical precision. Batting first, Bahrain posted 108/3 in their 20 overs. In response, Kuwait reached 109/3 in just 12.5 overs, cruising to a 7-wicket win under pressure.
Once again, Jilani led the charge with the bat, scoring a quickfire 48 off 29 balls at an impressive strike rate of 165.5, anchoring the run-chase and setting the tone for a polished finish. Her aggressive yet composed innings included 6 fours and a six, showcasing the form that’s made her one of Kuwait’s most dangerous batters.
Support came from Amna Tariq (29), who provided stability early in the innings, and useful contributions down the order ensured no hiccups in the pursuit.
With the ball, Kuwait kept things tight. They prevented Bahrain from posting a high total, setting themselves up nicely with disciplined bowling and field work that restricted momentum.
This win built on their earlier dominant 68-run victory over Qatar Women, where Kuwait posted 160/5 and then bowled Qatar out for 92, with Zeefa again starring — taking key wickets and earning Player of the Match honors.
Kuwait’s performances reflect growing confidence and depth, blending powerful batting, smart bowling, and fielding intensity. With Zeefa Jilani firing on all cylinders and leading from the front, Kuwait Women are staking a strong claim as contenders in the tournament.
Zeefa Jilani — Player of the Match with 48 (29)
