Ireland beat United Arab Emirates by 138 runs
Right then! The group stages have come to an end and the two teams in this tie will be heading back home as they take the bottom two spots in Group B. We have six teams that have progressed to the next stage and the action in ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier continues after a day's break on Thursday 29th June for match 1 of the Super Sixes. Group A table-toppers Zimbabwe lock horns against Oman who stood third in Group B at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo and the first ball will be bowled at 12.30 pm IST (7 am GMT) but as you know, our coverage will begin well in advance. Do join us for it and until then, goodbye and cheers!
Andy Balbirnie, the skipper of Ireland says that the side is delighted with a victory but they did not want to be in this state and this is the least they could do here. Adds that they wanted to go back with their heads held high with a convincing victory here and the team managed to do that. Claims that this was probably the hardest week ever since he got the job as the skipper and they would want to bounce back with a bang in the future. Mentions that the inning of Paul Stirling was the game changer for the side as everyone counts on his experience and he showed up big time today.
Vriitya Aravind, the vice-captain of the United Arab Emirates is up for a chat. He says that Muhammad Waseem's hand looks really bad and he has gone for a scan but hopefully, he will be back for their next game. Gives credit to the Irish batters who batted really well and claims that they lacked in quality against them. Mentions that Sanchit Sharma was really good for them in today's game and it is one of the positives they can take from the match. Ends by saying that the team they have got is a young one and they will like to grow better together.
Paul Stirling is the Player of the Match for his remarkable knock of 162 runs which included 15 fours and 8 maximums! He says that it was nice to get in on the act and get some runs under the belt. Adds that it feels so good to finally get a feel with the bat and score runs. Claims that it feels nice to get going in a positive direction and the victory tastes a lot better to the squad. Mentions that his partnership with Andy Balbirnie was really crucial for the side as they kept the scoring rate good and managed to see off the initial stages when the ball assisted the seamers.
Time for the presentations...
The Irish openers looked to be preparing for a long day's work as they started watchfully but lost Andy McBrine after a decent start. Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie added 184 runs in 178 deliveries for the second wicket and took the game out of the hands of their opponents. The skipper was dismissed on 66 as he looked to up the ante but Paul Stirling continued along his merry way notching up his 14th ODI century and was finally dismissed on 162 in 134 deliveries. Harry Tector played an attacking cameo and reached his half-century scoring 57 runs in 33 balls. Lorcan Tucker and George Dockrell provided the late onslaught as they fell short of the 350-run mark by one run. Sanchit Sharma was the pick of the bowlers by far for the Asian side as he claimed three wickets for 46 runs in his 7 overs and Ali Naseer chipped in with one.
Then came a minor fightback from the lower-order batters as Sanchit Sharma joined Basil Hameed in the middle and the two of them added 70 runs in 86 deliveries for the seventh wicket giving their fans something to cheer about. Hameed was dismissed on 39 and Sanchit missed out on his maiden half-century by six runs. There were some lusty blows from the tail but the Irish bowlers did a good job to wrap up the proceedings in 39 overs with United Arab Emirates scoring 211. It was a complete bowling performance by Ireland as Joshua Little, Andy McBrine, George Dockrell, and Curtis Campher all claimed two wickets each with Barry McCarthy chipping in with one and was the most economical of the lot. They backed up a good performance by their batters in the first inning.
UAE needed their skipper to click if they had any hopes of achieving a massive target and Muhammad Waseem showed intent straightaway. He scored 45 runs in 31 deliveries and was involved in a 58-run opening partnership with Aryansh Sharma. He was however dismissed in a school-boy fashion as he decided not to get back into the crease after being hit on the hand. His counterpart, Andy Balbirnie did not miss the opportunity to get the dangerous batter run out and UAE never seemed to recover from that blow. Aryansh and Vriitya Aravind got off to decent starts but could not capitalize and Ethan D'souza could not make the most of his first opportunity in this competition. With the wickets of Ali Naseer and Aayan Khan, UAE found themselves six down with 109 runs on the board and 241 runs still to get.
A thumping win for Ireland as they register the first win of the tournament and will now head back with some consolation! They have demolished a hapless United Arab Emirates side by 138 runs and the minnows will also be departing the competition but have no wins under their belt. This was a dead rubber but the manner in which the game panned out showed the massive gulf in quality between the two teams and the Asian side has a long way to go before they start challenging the big guns. Ireland have have been disappointing too barring this match and will be one of the Test-playing nations to not participate in the ICC Cricket World Cup later this year.

George Dockrell To Karthik Meiyappan OUT!
OUT! That's a wrap as Ireland put the final nail in the coffin. Tossed up much slower through the air and wide of off, Karthik Meiyappan moves to his leg and chips it in the air towards the fence at sweeper cover. Mark Adair was well stationed at the fence and made no mistake as he collects this nice and clean diving low in front of him. That's an end to the group stages as Ireland have defeated UAE by 138 runs.

Curtis Campher To Junaid Siddique OUT!
OUT! PLUMB! Curtis Campher has two wickets in one over and the United Arab Emirates are one wicket away from a disappointing defeat! Curtis Campher nails this yorker and bowls this in line with the stumps. Junaid Siddique looks to clip this into the leg side and gets hit on the back pad. A loud appeal by the bowler and the umpire nods his head before raising his finger. UAE are nine wickets down and still short of the 200-run mark as this game looks to be done and dusted.

Curtis Campher To Sanchit Sharma OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Curtis Campher gets a wicket and Sanchit Sharma's enterprising knock comes to an end! He will be disappointed in missing out on his maiden half-century and he is the only player for the United Arab Emirates who can hold his head up high! This is bowled full and outside the off stump. Sanchit Sharma looks to go hard at the ball and toe-ends this towards mid-wicket. Paul Stirling runs back to his right and takes a wonderful catch tumbling forward. Ireland have eight wickets now and are really close to the finish line now.

George Dockrell To Basil Hameed OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Change of ends for George Dockrell works out well for the Irish side as he gets rid of Basil Hameed. Tossed up much slower through the air in the middle, Basil Hameed slogs this uppishly towards Curtis Campher at deep mid-wicket. Curtis Campher settles well underneath this and collects it nice and clean. The partnership is finally broken and the Irish could now look to run through the tail of UAE.

DRINKS! A late fightback from the UAE batters but it seems to be a long ask for the tail to make this happen. 173 runs are needed in 16 overs and Ireland will know that they have this tie well in control still but would have liked to wrap up this inning at the earliest. They will know that if they manage to break this partnership, they should not have too much trouble with the tail.

He is early into the shot and the ball lobs towards the mid-wicket fielder. Harry Tector dives forward and grabs the ball inches off the ground to get Ireland their sixth wicket. The game seems to have slipped out of the hands of the Asian side and they are now staring at a certain defeat.

Ali Naseer is not so fortunate though and has to make the long walk back to the pavilion and the United Arab Emirates have now lost half their side.

Mark Adair To Muhammad Waseem OUT!
What a remarkable dismissal we have witnessed here! Muhammad Waseem has to make the long walk back to the shed and his enterprising inning comes to an end in a peculiar fashion! Mark Adair bowls this back of a length and into the batter. Muhammad Waseem looks to defend and gets hit on his gloves as fends this into the off side. Andy Balbirnie comes running in from cover and picks up the ball. He realizes that Muhammad Waseem is in pain and outside the crease. The underarm throw hits the stumps and the umpires get together to discuss. They take it upstairs and the third umpire adjudges this as OUT as the batter is well out of the crease. The United Arab Emirates lost their first wicket and Muhammad Waseem is on the floor in pain as the physios rush out to have a look at him.
