Commentary

And with that, we come to the end of our coverage of the UAE-West Indies ODI series. We are closing in on a new day, one filled with plenty of cricket from all around the world. Keep an eye on our tabs for our coverage of the same! This is Rajarshi Das, signing off on behalf of Karthik Raj. See you tomorrow!

Right. It's now time for Shai Hope and the West Indies to lift the trophy! Hope collects it, joins his teammates, and as always, the West Indies celebrate in jolly fashion, with somersaults from Kevin Sinclair and a bottle of champagne being popped open! The West Indies have been clinical on most fronts in this series, and will look to take this form to Zimbabwe for the World Cup Qualifiers!

Brandon King, Player Of The Series: It was good to get that century, but it's part of a process. Just going on with my game. The team has given me the confidence to go out there and play freely. (On the 2nd game) The goal was to try and make another hundred, but I was trying to do what was best for the team, try and keep the aggressive intent, but it didn't work out. They (UAE) provided a good challenge, in the home conditions as well, they knew how to bowl on these pitches. We can take some notes from them. They played some really competitive cricket. I always enjoy coming here, and I hope to be back soon.

Brandon King has been adjudged the Player Of The Series!

Kevin Sinclair, Player Of The Match: It was a dream to play for the West Indies , so to come out and take 4 wickets is something that I'll cherish. I never played here, but I think the wicket was good. It's all about hitting the right areas. Yesterday was my grandfather's 75th birthday, he was behind me since the beginning, this performance was for him. The staff are supportive and backed me through, they know my talent and ability. I just came back from Zimbabwe with the red-ball team. Pleased with the way I adjusted.

Kevin Sinclair is the Player of the Match!

Roston Chase, West Indies captain: We lost a few wickets there coming on to the end, so I just wanted to be there at the end. So, Kudos to me. He (Athanaze) has been in some ripping form of late, so he had the confidence to go out there and smash it. He's been playing the reverse sweep a lot, so I can't come down hard on him for that dismissal. The guys were just trying to rotate the ball then, they weren't looking for too many boundaries, that's an area where we usually struggle. Today was the best of my three spells in terms of my lines and lengths. Kevin Sinclair bowled really well, he adjusted to the conditions quickly. UAE is always a good time, it's a bit expensive, but it's good.

Muhammad Waseem (UAE captain): After I got out, Vriitya and Rameez batted well to take us to 130/2 but after that we had a collapse. However, we learnt a lot from this series. The boys are very talented. Jawadullah is also a very good bowler. Hopefully, we can use him in Zimbabwe. Thanks to the crowd for the support!

Time for the Post-match Presentation!

Match summary:

West Indies win by 4 wickets with 89 balls to spare

Alick Athanaze 65(45) | Kevin Sinclair 4/24 (7.1)
Vriitya Aravind 70(75) | Muhammad Jawadullah 2/36 (5.1)

They took ages to get past the line, but the West Indies got there eventually! UAE did try to make a comeback briefly, but a target of 185 proved to be too little to contain the West Indies, especially with the start that they got off to. Aayan Afzal Khan and Karthik Meiyappan were the ones who gave the hosts a glimmer of hope in the middle overs, nipping out one West Indies middle-order batter after another, but as it turned out, those breakthroughs came a tad late.

Alick Athanaze got the visitors off to an absolute flyer in the first 10 overs. Shamarh Brooks, having walked in at the third over after Johnson Charles' departure, calmly played second fiddle as Athanaze exhibited some of his T10 prowess with the bat, tearing into the UAE bowlers, both fast and slow. The young, diminutive left-hander brought up a half-century in next to no time, and was looking set to finish the game off with more than 30 overs to spare.

Aayan Afzal Khan, succeeding in stopping the flow of runs in his second spell, accounted for Athanaze with one that kept straight all along. Aayan and Karthik went on to bowl a long spell after that, containing the batters to runs between the wickets mostly. Karthik wasn't able to land it right initially, and eventually leaked quite a few runs. However, he then went on to nip out both Keacy Carty and Kavem Hodge in succession, and all of a sudden, the match took an interesting turn.

Roston Chase and Raymon Reifer then had to go back to a cautious approach, aiming to play both the spinners out. The two batters shortened the equation, bringing it down to singles eventually. Reifer looked to end the game with a big hit off Jawadullah but holed out, but the West Indies were only 4 away by then. A waywide delivery down the leg side from Jawadullah sealed a 3-0 whitewash for the West Indies eventually. Right then, onto the presentations now...

35.2 Muhammad Jawadullah to Roston Chase, short and down leg, the keeper doesn't collect as West Indies wrap a four-wicket victory. With that, they seal a 3-0 whitewash too!

35.1 Muhammad Jawadullah to Roston Chase, length delivery on off, Chase opens the bat face and directs it to short cover. No run

The scores are level now. The West Indies have been taking quite a while to get past the line. Surely, they'll get it done this over?
