Mohammad Tauqir won the toss & decided to bat first hoping his side would be able to put on a challenging total and skittle the Indians later. But lack of experience & alien conditions got the better of them at the end of the day. Unable to handle the bounce at Perth the opening pair threw away their wickets for cheap runs while Ashwin & Jadeja bamboozled the others with spin. Shaiman Anwar was the sole batsman with a not-so-bad double-digit number on the scoreboard. The Indians were never troubled during the chase & the only positive for the UAE was Manjula Guruge's fine spell of 6-1-19-0
