A thrilling win for Windies in a low-scoring match

West Indies won the show of bowling power of the two teams. Separately, Windies showed an example of team play today. Pakistan were all out for 170 runs in the face of Windies' bowling cannon. On the contrary, the Pak bowlers had a good bite in the batting of Windies, but Windies showed team play with the bat as well as team bowling. Losing 8 wickets scored 172 runs and won by 2 wickets.

Windies won the toss and took the bowling and looking at Pakistan's scoreboard, it can be understood that they have surrendered in front of the Windies bowling. After Misbah-ul-Haq's unbeaten 96 and Nasir Jamshed's 50, the highest individual run is only 6! Pacer Kemar Roach sent back Imran Farhat, Mohammad Hafeez and Asad Shafiq within 15 runs of the team and made the Windies happy.

Misbah-Jamshed added 90 runs in the fourth wicket partnership and tried to deal with Pakistan's batting collapse. But just then, Sunil Narine gave Windies a big break through by trapping Jamshed in the spin trap. After that, he picked up Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal almost consecutively and crushed Pakistan's batting.

Wahab Riaz and Saeed Ajmal were run out and Pakistan lost 9 wickets for 138 runs. From there, captain Misbah took the team to 170 runs by batting single. After playing in international cricket for almost a century, he did not get a century for a while. Ravi Rampal took the wicket of Mohammad Irfan as the last batsman to finish the game unbeaten on 96 runs.

Windies did not get off to a good start chasing runs. Taking 15 runs and 2 wickets, the Pak bowlers tested the Windies batting. Mohammad Irfan took 2 wickets. But then Gayle-Samuels added 63 runs for the third wicket pair.

When Gayle was bowled by Ajmal for a personal 39 runs, Windies were in danger again. However, every batsman of Windies kept adding runs to the scoreboard without throwing wickets. Windies scored 172 for 8 in 40.3 overs, winning by 2 wickets thanks to an innings of Samuels 30, Pollard 30, and Bravo's 19 at crucial times.

Irfan tried with 3, Ajmal 2 and Riaz 2 wickets but it was not enough to give Pakistan victory. On the other hand, Kemar Roach got the Man of the Match award for single-handedly sending back the top three batsmen of Pakistan to pave the way for Windies' victory.
