Nelson: Zimbabwe had registered victory over UAE in Cricket World Cup 2015 on Thursday by 4 wickets.
Sean Williams’ timely knock of 76 helped Zimbabwe beat a determined UAE and giving the African nation their first win of the cricket World Cup.
Williams’ unbeaten innings off 65 balls made the difference as Zimbabwe chased down the 286-run target in 48 overs.
UAE had posed a competitive score of 285 for seven which happened to be their highest ODI total.
UAE complimented their batting by making life difficult for Zimbabwe batsmen until a 83-run sixth-wicket stand between Williams and Craig Ervine (42 runs off 32 balls) took the game away from the team playing its first World Cup since 1996.
