A poor Cricket World Cup Qualifier campaign reached a new low for UAE after captain Muhammad Waseem suffered an arm injury and was then controversially run out in defeat to Ireland.

The national team conceded another huge total at Bulawayo Sports Club, with Paul Stirling hitting a sparkling 162 as the Irish racked up 349-4 in their 50 overs.

As unlikely as a chase seemed, the UAE started their reply in optimistic style. Waseem was at his majestic best as he and Aryansh Sharma, his opening partner, put on 50 within six overs.

Their alliance met an abrupt end off the second ball of the eighth over. Waseem was hit on the upper right arm by a delivery that lifted off a length from Mark Adair.
