Summary Proteas skipper AB de Villiers scored 99 from 82 balls
WELLINGTON (AFP) - South Africa made 341 for six against the United Arab Emirates in their World Cup Pool B match in Wellington on Thursday.
Proteas skipper AB de Villiers scored 99 from 82 balls, with Farhaan Behardien contributing 64 from 31 and David Miller (49) falling one run short of a half century.
Mohammed Naveed was the pick of the UAE attack, taking three for 63 as South Africa batted out their 50-over innings.
A South Africa victory against the UAE, who are winless so far in the tournament, would seal second spot in Pool B, setting up a likely quarter-final clash with Sri Lanka.
