Judd Trump missed a match ball as Hossein Vafaei clinched a dramatic 6-5 victory in the quarter-finals of the Six Red World Championship in Thailand.
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s national cricket team defeated Bahrain by 10 wickets to win the ACC Men’s Challenger Cup 2023 at the Asian Institute of Technology Ground in Bangkok on Sunday. The men in green were dominant throughout the 50-over match. Bahrain were first bowled out for only 26 runs from 21.1 overs, before Saudi Arabia comfortably posted a total of 30 for no loss in 4.1 overs. “Saudi Arabia clinches the #ACCChallengerCup with a dominant performance, defeating Bahrain by 10 wickets,” tweeted the Asian Cricket Council. “A truly fantastic win, as they chase down the target of 27 in just 4 overs. Congratulations to the Saudi Arabia team!” Saudi Arabian Cricket Federation Chairman Prince Saud bin Mishal told Arab News from Thailand: “I’d like to congratulate our leadership for the endless support we’ve always received, and the board of directors, the managerial team and especially the players. They’ve played excellent cricket, resulting in winning the cup.”
Ronnie O’Sullivan is out of the Six Red World Championship after he was beaten 6-2 by former winner Ding Junhui in the last 16 before the Chinese icon continued his solid form by progressing to the semi-finals of the Bangkok invitational event. Masters champion Judd Trump will also be missing from the final stages after suffering a 6-5 defeat to Hossein Vafaei in the last eight that saw Trump somehow miss a straight match-ball brown on the cusp of a 6-4 success.
Ronnie O’Sullivan is out of the Six Red World Championship after he was beaten 6-2 by former winner Ding Junhui in the last 16 before the Chinese icon continued his solid form by progressing to the semi-finals of the Bangkok invitational event. O’Sullivan had previously stated he was targeting the £100,000 first prize on his competitive debut in the shorter format at the Thammasat University Convention Centre in Pathum Thani, but missed some crucial shots which saw the match slip away after levelling at 2-2.
Ding Junhui pulled off a ridiculous escape pot during his victory over Ronnie O’Sullivan at the Six Red World Championship in Thailand. Leading 4-2 in the best-of-11 encounter, Ding was pinned on the top cushion with the one remaining red perched near the bottom right pocket — but hidden by the colours. Meanwhile, his obvious one-cushion escape route was blocked by the middle pocket and the other balls spread around the table.
Victory in the 2023 Asian Cricket Council’s Challenger Cup in Thailand has catapulted Saudi Arabia’s men’s team into unchartered waters. It also emphasised the increasing levels of competition within Asian cricket.
