12.12am That is that. First series win for Shai Hope as ODI captain. First series win for Daren Sammy as WI head coach. Sammy shakes hands with Jimmy Adams. But UAE made WI work for series victory. Ali Naseer made back-to-back half-centuries while Basil Hameed score 49, helping UAE bat out 50 overs. Not all doom and gloom for UAE ahead of the World Cup Qualifiers in Zimbabwe. That's all we have for you from this game. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off on the behalf of Abhimanyu Bose. Goodbye and good night.
Vriitya Aravind, UAE vice-captain: Hopefully I get a big one next game and contribute to the team's success. The way Ali Naseer is batting is quite unbelievable and Basil played well. Scoring two fifties against a quality team, all credit to him. Important tournament coming up - Qualifiers
Shai Hope, WI captain: As we say, a win is a win. Happy with the start we got - happy to see King what he does best. There wasn't much swing, but Akeem Jordan got enough to dismiss the opener. The game was always about getting wickets and putting pressure on the opposition. Unfortunately, didn't get wickets to see the game out earlier. But still happy with the win.
Charles, Player of the Match: Getting Man of the Match is always special. I will leave that [a longer run in the team] to the selectors and my job is just to score runs. They will do their job. The pitch is a lot better than the last time we played and it came on early on. There was also something for the bowlers once they went straight on good lengths.
