Captain Hope seals it with a six. Pushed through too full and outside off once again, Hope drags another slog-sweep over midwicket and finishes it off in style

Full commentary
11.25pm That is that. Brandon King's maiden ODI century has put WI 1-0 up. Daren Sammy has a winning start to his international coaching career. Keemo Paul, Dominic Drakes and Odean Smith also played their part in West Indies' emphatic victory. Thanks for tuning in. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off on the behalf of Srinidhi, P Ranjith and Thilak Ram. Goodbye and cheers.
Waseem, UAE captain: He [Paul] bowled well. Ali played well, but we were short by 50-60 runs. Aayan bowled well, but King played very well for West Indies. We will take some positives from this match and hopefully do well in other matches.
Hope, WI captain: There was no hurry. They all bowled well, I can't single out too many, and I was happy with the execution. Nice to see Hodge play in West Indies colours now and hopefully we can continue. I don't think there were devils in the surface but credit needs to be given to the bowlers. King is an exceptional player and someone who I thought would've scored a lot more runs early in his career. But happy for him. He saw the opportunity to take the game forward and happy to see him get his first hundred today.
King is suffering from cramps, so Hope collects King's Player-of-the-Match award on his behalf.

Mustafa to King, OUT
King shakes his head as he walks back. Flatter, quicker and slid across off stump from round the stumps. King searches for a dab but can only dink it behind to Sharma. End of a top effort from King, though. James Franklin welcomes him back with a pat on the shoulder. Played

Karthik Meiyappan to King, SIX runs
Brandon King: batting royalty from Jamaica. He brings up his maiden ODI century and takes in the applause from WI's dressing room. Coach Sammy is up on his feet. Dangled up on middle, possibly another googly, but Karthik lands it too full. King gets underneath the length and launches it over the wide long-on boundary. Mighty slog-sweep from WI's new vice-captain
