Commentary

That brings us to the end of our coverage for this game. We will be back with more ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers action tomorrow, so do keep an eye on our tabs for the same! This is Rajarshi, signing off on behalf of Pragadeesh. See you later!

Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka captain: The team has been playing well in the recent past. We like playing the World Cup qualifiers, we don't take pressure when we play our cricket. We would have still bowled first had we won the toss. If we opened with our fast bowlers, we could have capitalized with the moisture. The top-order did an outstanding job, Dimuth carries the game to the middle overs since his return to the ODI side. I would like to see my two fast bowlers get more wickets with the new ball, with the movement that they get. With the surface, we need to try the short balls a bit more, we need to stick to our plans going deep into the tournament.

Muhammad Waseem, UAE captain: We started well, but were looking for some early wickets, we didn't get them. Moisture was there on the pitch, but they played really well. I thought that we could restrict them to 250-260, but we didn't bowl well on the last few overs. We started well with the bat, but after that when I was dismissed, the innings collapsed. Naser is a great talent, he's the future of UAE. Had he played all 50 overs, things might have been a bit different.

Wanindu Hasaranga (Man of the Match) - I am really happy. We know when we were batting the wicket was good.After that, the ball was gripping and that's the benefit we had. I always try to bowl wicket-to-wicket and we have a 50-50 chance to get a wicket if we execute the plan. Our batters played really well. 350 on this wicket was always going to be tough.

Match summary:

Sri Lanka win by 175 runs
Kusal Mendis 78(63) | Wanindu Hasaranga 6/24 (8)
Muhammad Waseem 39(48) | Ali Naseer 2/44 (10)

The Sri Lankan spinners, Wanindu Hasaranga in particular, proved to be too hot to handle for the United Arab Emirates batting line-up. Hasaranga kept honing in the googly, the UAE right handers kept plonking their front foot right on the line of the ball, and were deemed LBW candidates! The target of 356 was far too much for them to scale down, and the fact that they weren't able to capitalize on Sri Lanka's fifth bowling option early on didn't help their cause one bit.

Muhammad Waseem and Rohan Mustafa got UAE off to a steady start. Both Rajitha and Kumara were generating some movement off the air and the deck. The two UAE openers looked to make the most of the bad balls and found the boundaries frequently. Mustafa, though, looked to up the ante in the most ridiculous manner, and Sri Lanka had their first in the 6th over. Waseem and Vriitya Aravind looked to stitch a partnership after that, with Waseem, of course, playing the role of the aggressor.

Waseem's wicket, thanks to a stupendous catch from Charith Asalanka at deep square, sparked the collapse that Sri Lanka were hunting. Wanindu Hasaranga ripped right into their middle order with his googlies, and was proving to be absolutely lethal. Half the UAE side were down within the 25th over, and it was a matter of formalities post that. However, young Ali Naseer put up a brief show, clobbering the Sri Lankan bowlers with gusto before being undone by Theekshana. Six overs later, Sri Lanka got the job done. They start off the World Cup Qualifier campaign on a great note. Time to hear from the captains now...

As comprehensive as things can get! Sri Lanka triumph by 175 runs!

38.6 Wanindu Hasaranga to Muhammad Jawadullah, CLEANED HIM UP! Hasaranga has six and Sri Lanka start the qualifiers with a thumping win! Jawadullah didn't read the variation and the ball straightens to beat the outside edge and knocks the top of off-stump

Muhammad Jawadullah b Wanindu Hasaranga 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)

Two slips and a leg slip for Jawadullah

Muhammad Jawadullah, LHB, comes to the crease

Five for Wanindu Hasaranga! He has been far too tough to deal with for UAE today.

38.5 Wanindu Hasaranga to Aayan Khan, BOWLED! HASARANGA PICKS UP A FIFER! He weaves his magic with another googly. This is turning out to be a signature dismissal for the UAE batters. Leaves a big gap between and pad to play away from the body. The ball turns back to rattle the middle stump

Aayan Afzal Khan b Wanindu Hasaranga 5 (17b 0x4 0x6)

38.4 Wanindu Hasaranga to Zahoor Khan, stands in his crease to nudge the length delivery in front of square and takes a run

38.3 Wanindu Hasaranga to Aayan Khan, drops it short and it's been worked to deep mid-wicket for one

38.2 Wanindu Hasaranga to Aayan Khan, blocks the length delivery to short extra cover

38.1 Wanindu Hasaranga to Zahoor Khan, clips the length delivery towards deep square leg for one

Just the three runs off that Theekshana over. Aayan looked to clear the in-field on one occasion, but the ball didn't quite have enough legs to reach the boundary.

37.6 Maheesh Theekshana to Aayan Khan, off-spin on a good length, Aayan blocks it on the front foot

37.5 Maheesh Theekshana to Aayan Khan, quicker and slightly fuller, Aayan manages to lift this over mid-off and gets a brace
