In the first ODI played between the two teams, West Indies got an easy win with 7 wickets and 88 balls to spare. West Indies are now ahead 1-0 in the 3-match series. This is ahead of their qualifying tournament in Zimbabwe, from where teams will be selected for the main event to be held in India, where only 2 spots will remain vacant.
UAE won the toss and elected to bat first at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, a pitch that favors the team batting first. However, the UAE team was all out till the 47th over. Keemo Paul was successful in taking 3 wickets and most importantly took the wicket of dangerous looking Ali Naseer by scoring a half-century.
The team was able to score a total of 202, which was later easily chased by the West Indies team. Brandon King played a beautiful inning of 112 runs in 112 balls to win in just 35.2 overs. West Indies brought a very young team and they were accompanied by their new coach and 2-time T20 champion Darren Sammy.
