UAE continues its winning ways

After claiming the ICC Intercontinental Shield game against Bermuda by nine wickets, UAE continued its winning run in the 50-over series with a comfortable 134-run victory at National Stadium, Hamilton to claim the series 2-0 on Sunday.

Batting first, UAE posted a total of 302-5 in 50 overs with top scores from Amjad Javed (89 not out), Abdul Rehman (57 not out) and skipper Khurram Khan (51). Rodney Trott was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2-44.
