Day three in the UAE saw Papua New Guinea and Kenya record their first wins of the tournament, with PNG beating the so far unbeaten Nepal.

Papua New Guinea's win over Nepal came in the afternoon game at Sharjah, with the EAP side batting first after Nepal captain Paras Khadka won the toss. Both openers fell cheaply, leaving Geraint Jones to provide some backbone to the innings.

Jones made a measured 32 from 35 balls, but the team were scoring slowly and were on just 61-4 when Jone was out in the twelfth over. Chris Amini was able to give some impetus to the innings, scoring 38 from 32 balls, with Jack Vare clubbing 19 from 8 balls to help take PNG to 137-8 from their 20 overs.

Nepal's often inconsistent batting saw one of their poor displays today, as only Prithu Baskota was able to get a start, scoring 36 not out from 36 balls. They scored way too slowly, and were only able to manage 102-8 from their 20 overs, losing by 35 runs.

Over on the secondary global cricket academy ground in Dubai, Kenya recorded their first win of the tournament over Oman, who remained winless as a result. Kenya batted first, with Duncan Allen and Alex Obanda put on a century stand for the opening wicket.

Both openers were eventually out stumped, but not before they had both made half-centuries. Rakep Patel then smashed a quick 33 from 16 balls to help take the total to 176-5 from 20 overs. Adnan Ilyas scored 35 from 27 balls at the top of the Oman reply, but they eventually fell short with 141-9 from their 20 overs, losing by 35 runs.

Simultaneously on the main global cricket academy ground, Scotland shrugged off yesterday's onslaught from Louis van der Westhuizen with a win over Uganda. Calum MacLeod's innings of 45 was the top score in their total of 170-6 from their 20 overs, with Jonathan Sebanja the pick of the Ugandan bowlers with 3-29.

Uganda never really got going in reply, and Majid Haq and Preston Mommsen both took three wickets to help restrict them to 136-9 from their 20 overs, giving Scotland a 34 run win.

Earlier in the day on the same ground, Hong Kong were like a different team than that which hammered Bermuda yesterday, only managing 81-8 from their 20 overs. Babar Hayat was the only player to offer any resistance with 36, whilst Junaid Siddiqui was the pick of the Canadian bowlers with 3-17.

Hiral Patel made a run a ball 40 in Canada's reply, which ended when Nitish Kumar hit a four through square leg to secure an eight wicket win with six overs to spare.

It was a higher scoring and closer game on the secondary academy ground, with Canada's old rivals the USA taking on the undefeated Namibians. And whilst the Americans removed the dangerous Louis van der Westhuzien for just four runs, Namibia still had other batsmen ready to fill his shoes.

Raymond van Schoor scored an unbeaten 79 from 55 balls, with Craig Williams scoring 41 from 26 balls to take Namibia to a good total of 177-4 from their 20 overs.

USA captain Sushil Nadkarni went for a duck from the first ball of the USA innings yesterday, and he lasted just one ball longer today, and when Nauman Mustafa was also out for a duck in the next over, it was looking like an easy win for Namibia.

However Florida native Steven Taylor and Aditya Mishra got the innings back on track with a 64 run partnership for the third wicket before Taylor was out for 21. Mishra then put on 40 with Orlando Baker before he was bowled by Christi Viljoen for 53, scored from 34 balls.

Viljoen also picked up the wicket of Baker, who scored 38, and those wickets meant that the USA were unable to accelerate towards the end of their innings, and the fell short, making 160-7 from their 20 overs, losing by 17 runs.

It was the also undefeated Afghanistan who recorded the biggest win of the day with a thumping win over Denmark at Sharjah. Their total of 172-5 was built around Karim Sadiq's 60 ball innings of 91, which featured nine fours and five sixes before he was bowled in the 18th over.

Denmark were unable to get started in reply as the wickets fell regularly. Karim Sadiq completed a fine all-round performance with 4-12 as Denmark were restricted to 83-9 from their 20 overs, losing by 89 runs.
