Emirates Cricket Board XI v West Indies

At Dubai, September 20, 2016. West Indians won by 22 runs. ‡West Indians 166 (20 overs) (J. Charles 42, R. Powell 38, N. Pooran 47*; Mohammad Naveed 3-20, Ahmed Raza 3-20); Emirates Cricket Board XI 144 (20 overs) (Mohammed Qasim 46, Shaiman Anwar 31; S. Badree 3-20). Both teams chose from 15 players. Uncapped left-hander Nicolas Pooran came in with the West Indians 74-4 after ten overs, and got them to 166 with 47* from 23 balls. Still, when the reply reached 91-2, an embarrassing defeat looked on the cards. But Sunil Narine took two wickets in the 13th over to sap Emirati spirits, and Samuel Badree backed him up with 3-20.
