Earlier, UAE won the toss and elected to bat first, but unfortunately were bowled out for a low total of 102. Ravinchandran Ashwwin was the highest wicket-taker as he claimed four for 25. UAE are in a tough situation, having lost both their games so far, while India have managed to win both the games they have played so far and are in a real strong position as they eye a qaurter-final spot. UAE field an unchanged squad while India make a change in the form of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who replaces Mohammed Shami. Live Scorecard: India vs UAE
The last time India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) clashed was back in 2004, in an Asia Cup game in Dambulla. Back then, Rahul Dravid scored a century, helping India secure an easy victory. More than a decade down the line, two survivors of that game — Mohammad Tauqir and Khurram Khan — are ready to take on India again in an ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 clash at the WACA, Perth. India are the in-form team and will be looking to extend their winning touch, while the UAE would want to build their reputation.
