UAE vs WI Highlights: The West Indies completed a comprehensive 3-0 series win over the UAE in Sharjah on Saturday. The Windies finished the third and final match by chasing a modest target of 185 in just 35.1 overs and with four wickets to spare. UAE were 142-3 in the 3rd ODI but lost their last 7 wickets for just 42 runs and ended the series without a win. Both teams would now like to re-group and focus on the World Cup 2023 Qualifiers, which begin on June 18.
When asked about their collapse in the middle overs, UAE captain Muhammad Waseem said, “There was a chance today even after I got out. We collapsed in the middle overs. The run-outs were bad, you would have seen my reaction on camera. But we are working hard.”
The captain also appreciated his players. “Aayan is very talented, and so is Karthik. A few players’ talents are coming to the forefront, not everyone but a few. We are practising well, hopefully, this preparation will help us in Zimbabwe. Thanks to the crowds, keep supporting us. Sorry, we couldn’t get the result.”
