I've been really impressed by the UAE bowling attack today, a good mix of bowlers all striking and a bunch of close chances.

Certainly looking forward to their other warm-up match against Afghanistan, will be very close based on this form.

Based on Zimbabwe's performance in warmups , I Guess No.

Woooooo!! First 100 in World Cup Cricket from Shaiman Anwar! What a fun little innings, this is going to test Ireland if the UAE can keep it together in the field. Their bowlers just have to show up now. Great finish to this innings!

I'd agree it's crap, but it was 5,200, which would have filled/nearly filled some of the NZ grounds. It just looks worse in a larger stadium.

If only Australia wasn't so massive and I could have a quick trip up there to have seen it.

There's loads of grounds in Brisbane that could've been played at that wasn't the GABBA. That being said, UAE should have taken that game home. But what a game!

Think it came down to one side with a lot more experience of winning than the other, and holding it's nerve.

It's actually what gives Ireland an edge when playing sides like WI, Ban, Zim - Ireland are used to winning more often than they lose.
