Right then, that's all from the first ODI. It is West Indies who have emerged victorious and have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. It was a perfect game for the visitors and they will look to seal the series with a win in the second ODI. On the other hand, United Arab Emirates have a lot to ponder as they look to force a series decider. The second ODI will take place at the same venue on Tuesday, 06th June. The first ball will be bowled at 6.00 pm IST (12.30 pm GMT). Do join us in advance for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!

Brandon King is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant knock of 112 runs from 112 balls. West Indies skipper Shai Hope takes the award on his behalf as King is suffering from cramps after his first ODI century.

Shai Hope, the captain of West Indies, says that all bowlers bowled well and they stuck to their plans. Adds that he was happy with the execution. On Dominic Drakes' ODI debut, he says that he is happy to see him in West Indies colours. Shares that there were not too many devils in the surface and credits his bowlers for restricting United Arab Emirates to a low total. On Brandon King, he says that he is an exceptional player and is happy to see him kicking on now.

Muhammad Waseem, the skipper of United Arab Emirates, says that Ali Naseer played very well but they were short with the bat and that cost them the game. He added that Aayan Khan bowled well but credited Brandon King for playing well. Mentions that they will take positives from this game and would try to do well in the next game.

Time for the presentations...

Earlier in the game, after United Arab Emirates won the toss and opted to put runs on the board, they lost both openers cheaply. To make matters worse for them, Rameez Shahzad was forced to be retired hurt after receiving a blow on the helmet. Vriitya Aravind stood strong and forged a solid recovery with Asif Khan. However, Aravind's departure meant the hosts lost their way in the innings. Playing in his maiden ODI game, Ali Naseer showed immense composure and took his side to a respectable total before departing. For West Indies, debutant Keemo Paul was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets while Dominic Drakes, Odean Smith and Yannic Cariah accounted for two wickets each.

With not a big total to defend, United Arab Emirates were behind the eight ball right from the first ball in their target defence. They needed early inroads to have any chance of defending this total. Things did not go according to the plan for them as both pacers and spinners could not make a mark early in the innings. To be honest, they had no answers to the brilliance of that man, Brandon King. Despite the loss, 17-year-old Aayan Khan's figures of 1 for 36 from his ten overs was a big plus for the hosts. Muhammad Waseem and Co. will need to return to the drawing board and put up a better show in the second ODI.

West Indies have absolutely steamrolled their way to victory in this first ODI! It has been the Brandon King show that has enabled them to cruise home with more than 14 overs to spare. In their pursuit of 203 runs, West Indies were off to a steady start courtesy of the opening pair. After the departure of his opening partner, Brandon King joined hands with Shamarh Brooks and stitched a 91-run stand to put West Indies in the driver's seat. King started dealing in boundaries as he progressed in his innings and stroked his maiden ODI hundred. Towards the end, Shai Hope provided the finishing touches by striking two consecutive sixes and saw West Indies home.
