The first ODI of West Indies’ tour of United Arab Emirates 2023 will mark the beginning of bilateral rivalry between these two teams. Having played a couple of ODIs against each other in multi-team tournaments in the past, UAE and West Indies will be playing their first-ever bilateral ODI against each other at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium today.

Won by West Indies on both the occasions, the last two matches between these opponents were league contests of ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 and ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier in 2018 in Napier and Harare respectively.
Speaking of World Cup Qualifiers, readers must note that both UAE and West Indies will be participating in the imminent edition of the tournament in Zimbabwe later this month.

UAE vs WI Live Streaming In India and Caribbean
In a surprising move, Star Sports Network will be televising these three ODIs for the Indian fans. In the absence of any major cricketing series at the moment, Star has allocated a couple of channels in Star Sports Select 1/1 HD and Star Sports 3 to this series. However, two different channels don’t guarantee commentary in as many languages.
It is to be noted that Star’s designated streaming platform in Disney+Hotstar won’t be live streaming these matches. Hence, fans will have to log in to FanCode in order to watch West Indies’ tour of UAE in India as was the case during both Netherlands’ tour of South Africa and West Indies’ tour of South Africa earlier this year.
Interested fans will be required to buy a series pass costing INR 39 on the website or mobile application of FanCode. The platform is neither offering any complimentary discount nor is there a pass only for the series opener.
Fans of the West Indian cricket team back home will be able to watch this series on streaming platform Sportsmax. Television channel Willow TV, on the contrary, will be televising it in USA and Canada. Fans living in Pakistan, meanwhile, will have to tune in to A Sports and ARYZAP to follow Sharjah ODIs.
Date – 04/06/2023 (Sunday).
