• For the first time in International Cricket, a team has retired out more than 2 batters in an innings.
• This bizarre incident happened in the Women T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier between UAE and Qatar.
• UAE Women decided to call off their innings when they were cruising along at 192 no loss after 16 overs. Since declaration is not allowed in limited overs cricket they decided to retire out all the 10 batters. And then, went on to win the match by 163 runs.

Why? Rain was about to happen.

Probably their coach ordered Biriyani and they can't resist.

Jokes apart, maybe they thought 192 is more than enough.
