LIVE SL vs UAE World Cup Qualifier: UAE captain after loss

"We started well but didn't get the early wickets. Also, didn't bowl well in the middle overs. There was moisture early on but they played well, some balls swung but their openers handled it well. I thought we could restrict them to 260-270 but gave away too many towards the end. We got a good start when myself and Aravind were batting, but we lost one wicket and collapsed soon after. Naseer is a great talent and the future for UAE. He has to learn to bat 50 overs and had he done that then he would have scored more," said Muhammad Waseem after the loss against Sri Lanka.
