Sun Mar 15 UAE 175 (47.4 ov) WI 176/4 (30.3 ov) Pool B, McLean Park, Napier L W JO Holder

The weather was threatening to add that extra element of surprise in Pool B but for now the Windies live to face another day. Gayle or no Gayle the Windies badly had to win this match. The Windies bowlers bowled with intent reducing the UAE for 46/6 in 13.5 overs, but fifties from Amjad Javed 56 (99) & Nasir Aziz 60 (86) saved UAE the blushes. When he is not bowling to AB de Villiers, Jason Holder has the aura of Joel Garner doesn't he? West Indies face New Zealand in the Quarter Finals and you never know in what mood they'd turn up. Bring on the knockouts!
