Cricket World Cup 2015 Run-Scorers, Averages :

Ireland and the United Arab Emirates played out a thoroughly entertaining clash at the Gabba, with the men in green taking victory by a narrow two-wicket margin.
A wonderful century from Shaiman Anwar salvaged the UAE innings after they lost a flurry of early wickets. The 35-year-old made 106 off 83 balls to push his side towards a respectable total of 278/9, but it proved to be a little short of what was required against an Ireland team who have started this World Cup in confident mood.

Updated Standings After Latest Pool A Results:
