365telugu.com online news,8th,Nonember,2025:India’s struggles at the Hong Kong Sixes 2025 tournament deepened after a shock four-wicket defeat to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), following their earlier loss to Kuwait. The back-to-back upsets have left the team’s campaign hanging by a thread.
Set a target of 108, UAE came out firing. Openers Khalid Shah and Saghir Khan launched a blistering assault, adding 42 runs in just two overs, with Khan hammering 31 off 11 balls. The chase was completed in style as Muhammad Arfan smashed a towering six off the penultimate delivery to seal a famous victory.
For India, Abhimanyu Mithun (50) and Dinesh Karthik (42) were the standout performers with the bat, helping their side post 107/3. However, India’s bowling unit once again fell short, unable to defend what seemed a competitive total in the short-format contest.
With two defeats in two matches, India now face Nepal in their final group-stage encounter, desperately needing a win to restore pride and keep faint hopes alive.
