Williams remained not out on 76 and finished the innings off with the help of captain Elton Chigumbura (unbeaten 14).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">&quot;We played some good cricket but we were expecting a different result. I think this wicket, we saw the last game also, even 300 was not enough. We know our limitations,&quot; said Tauqir at the post match presentation ceremony.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">&quot;They batted well, had some good partnerships. Both the left-handers played well, and they won the game.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The veteran, 43, also credited his bowlers for their performance and added breaking the Williams-Ervine partnership in the 43rd over could have won them the game.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">&quot;I think overall the bowlers bowled well. One crucial partnership, I think it saw them through the game. If one of them got out it would have been a different result.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">It was a good learning experience, and I think we would like to put up a positive performance in the upcoming games.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">UAE play Ireland in their next game Feb 25 at Brisbane.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
