	Eszrafiq comes in for Shukri, hard call for young spinner Shukri but Eszrafiq offers just a bit more batting
	Teams: Malaysia - Suhan Kumar (Captain), Ahmad Faiz, Rakesh Madhavan, Damith Warusavithana, Suresh Navaratnam, Anwar Aruddin, Eszrafiq Azis, Nik Arifin, Shafiq Sharif, Hassan Ghulam, Shahrulnizam Yusof 12th man: Faris Almas
	250-270 is what he'll be looking for and given the fact that the wicket at Unity gets easier in the afternoon and Malaysia's top-order looks very good, that's probably what UAE will need.
	Must have thought about the other option, but chose to be be positive and keep the initiative and set a stiff target.
	UAE's Khurram Khan has called correctly and UAE will bat first
	KOC Unity: The captains walk out for the toss
	KOC Unity: We hear from the umpires Farid Dalwai and Naresh D'Souza that the match will start at 9.30 AM and will be a full 50-over game.
	Next door at KOC Hubara, Kuwait are 3 for 0 after 2 overs against Nepal
	KOC Unity: Grass cuttings still being rolled into the bowler's landing area at the North End of the ground
	KOC Unity The Match Referee and Umpires walk out to make an inspection....
	There have been all kinds of calculations by the Malaysian team overnight as they sought to know the exact scenario for a run-chase or a defense of a total they put up. As you can see from the points table, it's very close between Malaysia and Afghanistan. We'll keep you updated as things progress of course, but in the words of Roy Dias who's coaching Nepal next door, "First get the win, then think of the run-rate." Without a win for Malaysia, run-rate calculations are academic.
	Malaysia have to win in order to stand a chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. A win for UAE will confirm them at the top of Group B.
	Not a cloud in the sky at the moment and the temperature's starting to rise. 24 degrees Centigrade, the faint smell of damp grass drying in the air. There's a constant westerly breeze too which is helping things along.
	Next door, literally, at the Hubara ground, Kuwait v Nepal at KOC Hubara, the match will start on time. Nepal won the toss and have elected to field first.
	Good morning from sunny Kuwait, where the news is, that after early morning rain and heavy rain yesterday afternoon, the KOC Unity ground is still in the hands of the groundsmen as they dry some damp patches at the North End. The match start has been delayed, possibly to 9.30 AM according to estimates from the boundary. The Match Referee Arjuna Amaratunga still has to confirm an exact time and whether the scheduled 50 overs will be reduced.
