They not only rescued their team but also helped the UAE post a highly challenging total.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nUAE opening batsmen did very well in the first 10 overs. But off-spinner Paul Stirling picked up two quick wickets to dent the UAE. The 24-year-old dismissed Andri Berenger (13) and Krishna Chandran (0) to reduce the UAE to 53\/2 in 13.1 overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOpener Amjad Ali (45) was looking very good before he lost his wicket to medium pacer Kevin O&#39;Brien. Next batsman Swapnil Patil offered a catch to Stirling at slip off an O&#39;Brien delivery to leave the team in trouble at 78\/4.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe 35-year-old Anwar joined Khurram Khan (36) and the duo put up a 47-run stand before the latter lost his wicket to left-arm spinner George Dockrell. Alex Cusack sent new batsman Rohan Mustafa (2) back early to leave the UAE reeling at 131\/6.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nJaved, 35, joined Anwar in the middle and the duo stabilised the innings before going for big shots. During his knock of 42 off 35 balls, Javed belted five fours and played a perfect foil to Anwar.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAnwar, who scored 67 against Zimbabwe during their Cup opener, hit 10 fours and a six during his 83-ball knock. He got his three-figure mark in 79 balls. And when he got out -- scooping medium pacer Max Sorensen to land in the safe hands of the wicketkeeper Gary wilson -- his team was in command at 269\/8 in 48.4 overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFor the Irish team, Stirling, Cusack, O&#39;Brien and Sorensen picked up two wickets apiece, while Dockrell bagged one.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBrief score: UAE 278\/9 (Shaiman Anwar 106, Amjad Ali 45; Paul Stirling 2\/27, Alex Cusack 2\/54) against Ireland.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
