Holder puts West Indies in sight of quarterfinals

67271

Berenger was the first to go, caught behind by Ramdin off Holder's bowling. Six balls later, Chandran edged one to Smith at first slip to give the West Indies captain his second wicket.

There was swing on offer, and the pacers exploited it well, removing Amjad, trapped leg before, and Khurram, clean bowled by Taylor in the seventh over.

Even Shaiman, who has been the most successful batsman for UAE in this competition, had a rare off-day, bowled by a brilliantly directed yorker from Taylor. Holder almost replicated that delivery in the 14th over to go past Swapnil Patil's defense, and made it 46 for 6.

Amjad and Aziz then got together for what looked like an attempt at only delaying the inevitable. But West Indies was in for a surprise as the duo scripted the highest partnership for UAE against a Test-playing nation in ODIs.

Both Amjad and Aziz reached half centuries around the same time, taking UAE past the 150-run mark before Russell finally broke the resistance with a fast yorker that went straight past Amjad's defenses in the 41st over.

Aziz and Mohammad Naveed, the No. 9 batsman, carried on the good work for sometime, but wickets fell quickly once again after the big partnership was broken, and the tail didn’t wag for long, leaving the West Indies with a straightforward chase.
