(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) DOHA, Oct 2 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's cricket team won Monday over Qatar's national team, with a score of 130-129 in the Asian competition hosted by Doha, which qualifies for the 2024 Cricket World Cup in the US.
Kuwait's team achieved its third victory in these qualifiers, raising its score to six points. Before today's match, it achieved two consecutive victories against the Qatari and Maldivian teams, while it lost to the Saudi team.
