The West Indies beat the United Arab Emirates by six wickets to all but secure their place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

The West Indies closed in on a place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup courtesy of a six-wicket win over the United Arab Emirates.

Jason Holder's men limited the minnows to a modest total of 176 in their innings, which could have even better for the Windies following a flurry of early wickets.

Dwayne Smith and Johnson Charles got the run chase to a brisk start as both players were able to find the boundary with regularity in the opening overs.

However, Smith was to fall for 15 when he was caught behind by Swapnil Patil off the bowling of Manjula Guruge.

Charles kept the scoreboard moving as he guided the West Indies past the 50-run mark, but Marlon Samuels was the next victim of Guruge when he fell for just nine.

The arrival of Jonathan Carter at the crease helped to calm proceedings as he and Charles kept the UAE attack at bay, while increasing the run rate to power the West Indies past the 100-run mark.

Charles reached his half-century off just 34 balls, hitting eight fours and two sixes, but he was out for 55 as he was caught by Krishna Chandran off the bowling of Amjad Javed.

Andre Russell followed Charles back to pavilion as he departed for only nine as Javed claimed his second wicket of the innings.

Carter and Denesh Ramdin held their nerve to guide the West Indies to their victory target with over 19 overs to spare, with Carter notching his 50 and Ramdin finishing unbeaten on 33.

The West Indies will reach the last eight of the competition as long as the clash between Pakistan and Ireland does not end in a tie or no result.
