...Presentation coming up...
A better score from United Arab Emirates and they were definitely in this game. And honestly, at one point, they were eyeing around 300 when Muhammad Waseem and Vriitya Aravind were on the crease but once the Windies introduced their spinners. United Arab Emirates fell like a pack of cards. Their bowlers cannot be blamed much, they gave their best but in the end, were short of runs to defend.
West Indies clean-sweep the series. They will be very happy with how they performed with many key players rested before this series. They had a below par score to chase here and the debutant, Alick Athanaze couldn't have hoped for a better start to his career than this one. He smashed all around the park and got to his fifty. West Indies were cruising through but once United Arab Emirates introduced spinners, the pressure started to build up and wickets tumbled. However, they needed one partnership to chase it down in the end. Roston Chase, the skipper finished things off with ease.
