Play began in muggy conditions and prospects of a shower or two - heralds of Cyclone Pam - could not be ruled out in the afternoon. Jason Holder, the West Indies captain, did his bit - win the toss, choose to bowl and put the UAE top order into a shredder - to provide a target of 176 in 36.2 overs to ensure their place in the quarter-final (Unless Pakistan-Ireland is a tie). His batsmen did it in 30.3
Johnson Charles, brought in for the injured Chris Gayle, has been on ice for over a year in ODI cricket. Jonathan Carter was playing his second tournament for West Indies. Neither man showed themselves as such and took West Indies into the quarter-final without much incident.
