West Indies virtually secured their place in the World Cup quarter-finals with a six-wicket triumph over the United Arab Emirates in Napier . The UAE were six wickets down early on , after being put in to bat , but Amjad Javed ( 56 ) and Nasir Aziz ( 60 ) dug deep to help them post 175 from 47.4 overs . The Windies - even without the injured Chris Gayle - never looked in danger of failing to chase down their modest target , though , Johnson Charles ( 55 ) and Jonathan Carter ( 50 not out ) leading the way as they romped to victory from 30.3 overs for the loss of four wickets . West Indies batsman Jonathan Carter waves his bat after reaching 50 runs during the World Cup match . Johnson Charles was also in impressive form for the Windies during the Pool B match . The result left West Indies guaranteed a last-eight berth courtesy of their net run-rate - unless Sunday 's other Pool B encounter between Ireland and Pakistan ends in a tie or a no-result in Adelaide . UAE were on the ropes at 46 for six at McLean Park , with none of the top six batsmen managing double figures , but Javed and Aziz helped give the scoreline some respectability . Jason Holder ( four for 27 ) and Jerome Taylor ( three for 36 ) accounted for the UAE top order , as Amjad Ali ( five ) , Andri Berenger ( seven ) , Krishna Chandran ( nought ) , Khurram Khan ( five ) , Shaiman Anwar ( two ) and Swapnil Patil ( six ) all fell cheaply . Javed and Aziz shared a 107-run seventh-wicket stand to get UAE back on track , as the Windies failed to fully capitalise on their early superiority . United Arab Emirates bowler Amjad Javed celebrates after taking the wicket of Andre Russell . Their spirited partnership finally ended in the 41st over , when Javed bottom-edged an Andre Russell delivery onto his stumps . Mohammad Naveed went the same way soon after , bowled by Russell for 14 , with Aziz then chipping to Holder at cover off the bowling of Marlon Samuels before Taylor rounded things off by bowling Mohammad Tauqir ( two ) . Manjula Guruge accounted for Dwayne Smith ( 15 ) and Samuels ( nine ) within the first eight overs of the response , but Charles and Carter made sure West Indies were always in control . Charles ' departure , having scored 55 from 40 balls , left the Windies 109 for three in the 16th over . Russell was caught and bowled by Javed for seven soon after , but Carter and Denesh Ramdin ( 33no ) got West Indies over the line with almost 20 overs to spare .
The West Indies romped to victory without the injured Chris Gayle . Windies will qualify for next round if match between Ireland and Pakistan ends in a tie or a no-result . Johnson Charles and Jonathan Carter starred for the Windies .
