Zimbabwe take on United Arab Emirates in the Pool B fixture in Nelson, New Zealand, match number 8 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. The two sides meet each other for the first time in the World Cup history. Zimbabwe play their second match of the 2015 World Cup while UAE play their first match of the tournament.
Zimbabwe lost to South Africa in their first match but played a good game and will hope to carry on their good form into the game against UAE and go in as a favourite to win the match. UAE on the other hand, playing in a World Cup after almost 20 years, will look to kick-start their campaign on a winning note, win against any Test playing nation will be a boost for them.
