The UAE are in the African nation aiming to secure a place at 2019 Cricket World Cup. Beginning their campaign on March 4 against Papua New Guinea, the UAE will also take on the West Indies, Ireland, and the Netherlands in Group A with the top three sides advancing to the Super Sixes. The top two teams from the Super Six are then guaranteed entry into next summer’s tournament.
