4 Associate Nations you may not know have a World Cup victory to their name

#3 United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) - 1 victory

U.A.E defeated the Netherlands to win their first ever World Cup match

The U.A.E registered their first World Cup victory in their maiden appearance itself as they defeated the Netherlands in the 1996 World Cup.

In a group stage match, U.A.E skipper Sultan Zarawani invited the Dutch to bat first. Cantrell and Aponso's vital contributions propelled the Netherlands to a defendable total of 216/9 in their 50 overs. Off-spinner Dukanwala, with figures of 5/29, was the pick of the bowlers for U.A.E.

In reply, the Arab nation led by Saleem Raza's 84, comfortably chased down the target set by the Dutch with 7 wickets in hand. Mohammad Ishaq's 51* off 55 helped U.A.E wrap up the chase quickly.

However, the Emiratis failed to qualify for the World Cup in its next four editions before making to the 2015 WC where they had a winless campaign.
