The target was too big, 358 runs. The United Arab Emirates would accept the rate very easily, it seemed all the way. No, it did not happen. The ICC’s co-sponsored country has struggled with the Test playing West Indies. Nearly 300 runs near the match they lost 60 runs.
After the big target, the UAE finished at 267 for 6 in 6 overs. Ramiz Shahzad scored an unbeaten century for the team. He hit 9 boundaries and 9 fours in his 107 not out.
Earlier, Chris Gayle and Simmons Hetmeyer scored a mammoth total of 357 runs for 4 wickets in the match to win the West Indies. Gayle, who scored 123 runs in 91 balls, was the West Indian batting monster to hit 11 sixes in 7 innings.
Hotmayer did not go too low. He scored 127 runs in 93 balls. The left-hander was batting on 14 boundaries and 4 sixes.
