#IndvsUAE Cricket World Cup 2015: India sucks the life out of United Arab Emirates batting – Watch video highlights

Mohit Sharma starts off with a good over after the end of 10 overs and the start of his first over. The ability to bowl bouncers is present but not flaunted well by Indian bowlers. Well, that statement is flawed in context to todays’ contest between India and United Arab Emirates. Ashwin seems to have taken charge of the wicket taking train as he swoops two UAE wickets in his bag right before the drinks break at UAE 41 for the loss of 4 wickets at 14.5 overs. (Catch live score: India vs UAE)

Indian team ended 10 overs of plays at 28 for the loss of 2 wickets. India is playing like the championship winning team that the fans expect them to play like. Indian team has proved that they are ready to retain the title of the World Cup champions again after defeating Pakistan and South Africa convincingly. Batting, bowling and fielding have been top notch with rare exceptions giving a wholesome performance and a good result for the India fans to cheer all over the world.

UAE won the toss and elected to bat first but the excellent pitch at W.A.C.A is a whacker of a pitch with good bounce and the Indian bowlers getting good swing as well. Experts would agree that this was a good pitch to lose the toss on for MS Dhoni and bowling first isn’t bad given the speed and bounce which the pitch is allowing. MS Dhoni said after the toss that he isn’t disappointed to be bowling first though he would have liked to bat first but that’s because UAE’s bowling is their weakest link. [Watch India vs UAE video highlights]

Umesh Yadav and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar have both struck with one wicket each before the end of the 10thover. Umesh Yadav looks to be in menacing form with confident deliveries swinging as it swings the confidence of the batsmen.

India and UAE go head to head in the 21st match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Mohammed Tauqir and MS Dhoni set out to the pitch for the toss where MS Dhoni lost the toss and UAE selected to bat first. This will be the first time that India bowls first in this year’s World Cup. It will be interesting to see how the Indian bowling attack draws first blood with them in the driving seat as far as India’s performance in the match. The UAE batting will try to ride the 50 overs out to get a decent total unless they start firing at which point the match will send a message to the entire cricketing community about the arrival of UAE in the world of cricket.Live commentary by AIR of Ind vs UAE match on February 28 here.
