107 Runs scored by Shaiman Anwar and Amjad Javed for the seventh wicket. This is the highest seventh wicket stand for any team in World Cup history. There has never previously been a 100-plus stand for the seventh wicket in World Cups.
106 Runs scored by Anwar, the most by any UAE batsman in a World Cup game. He is the first UAE batsman to score a World Cup hundred and the second to do so in any ODI. The only other UAE batsman to score an ODI hundred is Khurram Khan, who scored 132 against Afghanistan in 2014.
200 Kevin O'Brien's strike rate during his innings of 50 off 25 balls. This is the only instance of an Ireland batsman making a 50-plus score at a 200-plus strike rate. This is the eighth such score in a World Cup match, with Mark Boucher and Brendon McCullum doing this twice each.
278 Runs scored by UAE, their third-highest total in ODIs. UAE have only made three 275-plus scores in ODI cricket, with two of those coming in this World Cup.
6 Number of instances of a No. 6 batsman making a century in a World Cup match; Anwar is the sixth. Three of these six instances have come during this World Cup. JP Duminy, Lendl Simmons and Anwar are the three No. 6 batsmen to score centuries.
508 ODI runs scored by Khurram Khan, making him the first UAE batsman to score 500-plus runs. Amjad Ali, with 444 runs has scored the second-most runs among UAE batsmen.
74 The partnership between Gary Wilson and Andy Balbirnie, the highest fifth-wicket partnership for Ireland in a World Cup match. The subsequent 72-run partnership between Wilson and Kevin O'Brien was the second-highest sixth wicket stand for Ireland in World Cups.
80 Runs scored by Wilson, the second-most by any Ireland No. 6 batsman in a World Cup match. The only higher score is Kevin O'Brien's famous 113 against England during the 2011 World Cup.
