| 0.2 : 0.2: I Wasim to C Walton, FOUR! SHOT! Walton is away with a bang! Flatter and outside off, he just gets under it and lofts cleanly through the line down the ground. Clears mid off comfortably and one bounce into the ad hoardings. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: H Ali to E Lewis, SIX! KABOOM! Typical Lewis flair. Length ball outside off, in the slot and he won't miss out. Launches it powerfully over long off for a maximum. Terrific stroke. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: I Wasim to C Walton, SIX! HOW DID HE HIT THAT? Wow! The length was a bit short but it was around off stump, Walton sits back and whips it away powerfully. Such brute force that it clears wide long on for a biggie. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: I Wasim to C Walton, FOUR! Smashed! The Windies are off to a flier here. This was speared in around middle, Walton gets down on knee and sweeps powerfully through mid-wicket to find the fence. Early problems for Pakistan. Runs are bleeding in the Power Play. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: I Wasim to E Lewis, OUT! LEWIS DEPARTS! Much-needed wicket for Pakistan as the openers were going berserk. Imad Wasim probably got lucky here as it was almost a half-tracker around middle, Lewis pulled it powerfully but found the only man in the ring, Hasan Ali who took a very sharp catch at backward square leg. The Pakistanis are absolutely elated. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: W Riaz to C Walton, SIX! DROPPED! Malik has shelled it! Should have taken it but instead ends up parrying it over the ropes. Shortish around middle, Walton doesn't get the room but goes through with the short-arm jab over square leg. Malik near the ropes was well in control of the catch but ends up spilling it. Wahab isn't amused one bit. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: R Raees to C Walton, SIX! Superb shot! The balance is the highlight of this stroke. Fuller ball in the slot for Walton who clobbers it down the ground over long on for a high maximum. Chadwick is on fire here. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: S Khan to C Walton, SIX! Smashed! Fuller around middle, Walton loves that length and dismisses it over long on for a maximum. You cannot bowl there to this lad when he is in such a mood. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: S Khan to C Walton, OUT! SHADAB STRIKES! Another timely strike for Pakistan as Walton was looking ominous. He looks to slog the leg break over long on but doesn't get the distance on the shot. Malik near the ropes takes a comfortable catch. Good start provided by Walton. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: I Wasim to M Samuels, FOUR! Shot! This should calm Samuels down a bit. Fuller and outside off, Samuels steps out and makes room to nail the drive through the covers. Top shot and sweeper cover had no chance to cut that off. |
| 10.6: H Ali to J Mohammed, OUT! CLEANED UP! Wicket maiden for Hasan Ali. He kept on bowling at that line and it reaped him the reward. Full delivery around off, nipped in after pitching. After wasting five deliveries on the trot, Mohammed went for a desperate straight drive without moving his feet even a touch. The ball went past his bat and brushed the pads on its way to knock out the middle stump. Finally, Mohammed is put out of his misery. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: W Riaz to M Samuels, SIX! What a shot! Full outside off, Samuels clears his front leg and slices it over point. He timed that so well that it went all the way over ropes for a maximum. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: W Riaz to M Samuels, SIX! Back-to-back biggies! Fuller length delivery outside off, angling away, Samuels makes room and lofts it on the up over long off for a maximum. He is making up for his initial dots. Moves to 22 off 20 balls. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: H Ali to L Simmons, OUT! Suicide from Simmons! That's really poor from Simmons. Angling into the batsman from around off, Simmons taps it down the track. It's to the right of Hasan, who goes there to stop it. Simmons thinks that Hasan won't reach there and takes off for a single. Samuels obliges and runs through. Hasan is very alert, he grabs the ball, turns and hurls an underarm throw at the bowler's end and hits. Simmons is way short of his ground and has to makes his way back to the pa |
| 12.2 : 12.2: H Ali to M Samuels, OUT! Hasan is turning this game on its head. Bowls a good length delivery around off, nips back in sharply. Samuels is outfoxed by this delivery. He looks to adjust and play it across the line but misses. The ball clips the top of middle stump. That's end of Samuels. They have lost their half the side. Huge wicket for Pakistanis. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: R Raees to K Pollard, OUT! TIMBER! First International wicket for Rumman Raees. Bowls a seam up delivery on middle and leg. It's going straight through. Pollard is late into his shot and pays the price as the ball goes onto shatter the woodwork. After a good start, West Indies have lost the plot. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: S Khan to J Holder, OUT! Holder holes out. Tossed up delivery outside off, inviting Holder to go big. The pressure gets to Holder and he goes for a big shot. However, mistimes it high in the air in the long off region. Nawaz from long off, runs forward and takes a well-judged catch. Another one bites the dust for the Windies. They are in big, big trouble in the decider. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: W Riaz to C Brathwaite, FOUR! Edged and through! Full delivery on middle and leg, Brathwaite looks to clip it but gets a leading edge. The ball races past short third man to the fence behind. Boundary after 29 balls. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: R Raees to C Brathwaite, SIX! Length delivery, angling away. It's in Brathwaite's slot and he just clears his front leg and clobbers it over wide long on for a maximum. 100 up for West Indies! |
| 18.1: W Riaz to C Brathwaite, SIX! Huge maximum! Fuller one leg, Brathwaite clears his front leg and hammers it over wide long on. It's a clean hit and the ball sails into the stands. The captain is leading from front today. Moves to 28 off 17. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: W Riaz to C Brathwaite, FOUR! Edged and raced away! Back of a length delivery, angling away, Brathwaite looks to slash it but gets an outside edge. The ball races past Sarfraz to the fence behind. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: W Riaz to S Narine, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Length delivery, angling in, Narine clears his front leg and looks to pull but misjudges the pace and bounce. The ball goes on to uproot the leg stump. Finally, Riaz gets a wicket to his name. How much more can West Indies add from hereon? |
| 0.2 : 0.2: S Badree to A Shehzad, FOUR! Finds the fence! Flatter outside off, punched through the covers. It did seem like Pollard would prevent the boundary but loses steam in his chase and then gets into a tangle before failing to stop the ball. A boundary to the total and Pollard is down in pain. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: J Holder to K Akmal, FOUR! JUST OVER MID ON! Full and around off, Akmal looks to go big down the ground but gets it off the toe end. Gets enough to clear Narine at mid on and it dribbles away to the fence. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: S Badree to K Akmal, FOUR! Good shot! Floated around leg stump, Akmal goes across to that one and sweeps it well over the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. Nicely done. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: S Badree to K Akmal, SIX! SMACK! Even better from Akmal this time. Another loopy ball around middle, gets across and sweeps it powerfully over deep square leg for a biggie. Momentum infused into the chase, not that it was needed with the target being low but such targets can be tricky if you don't start well. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: K Williams to K Akmal, FOUR! SLAPPED! Typical Kamran Akmal stroke! Short and wide, he essays a fine back foot slap through backward point to find the fence. That's his favorite scoring zone. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: J Holder to A Shehzad, FOUR! Shehzad finally breaks the shackles! Back of a length around off, gets inside the line and whips it away. Badree at short fine leg puts in a desperate dive but the ball goes past him to the fence. Clever batting! |
| 5.5 : 5.5: J Holder to A Shehzad, FOUR! GLORIUS! This should get him rolling. Full and outside off, Shehzad moves forward and times the drive brilliantly through extra cover to find the fence. Nobody moved as the ball rocketed away. This should give Shehzad immense confidence. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: M Samuels to K Akmal, OUT! GONE! Once again Samuels' golden arm does the trick. He struck with his first ball in the previous game and has managed to strike with his second this time. Soft dismissal for Akmal. This was on a length around off, spun in sharply with a bit of extra bounce. Probably gripped a touch off the deck and Akmal only managed to chip it straight to Williams at short mid-wicket. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: S Badree to A Shehzad, FOUR! GOOD PLACEMENT! Shortish around middle, Shehzad makes room and rocks back to pull it away powerfully. Bisects long on and deep mid-wicket to perfection to find the fence. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: S Narine to A Shehzad, FOUR! Served wide outside off, Shehzad waits for it and then guides it very late. Gets it fine past short third man for a boundary. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: C Brathwaite to B Azam, FOUR! Pulled away in fashion. Length delivery outside off, Azam stands tall and pulls it through widish mid on. The long on fielder can't get to it and the ball reaches the fence. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: S Badree to B Azam, SIX! Drifts this one around leg, Azam kneels down and slogs sweeps it over mid-wicket for a maximum. Badree has proved to be very expensive today. 36 runs needed of 41 deliveries to win. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: S Badree to A Shehzad, SIX! Another maximum. Bowls it quicker and flatter outside off, Shehzad once again skips down the track. This time however goes for the big one and connects it cleanly. The ball sails into the stands behind the long on fence. |
| 15.4: K Williams to A Shehzad, FOUR! Superb shot. What a way to get to his half century. Full wide outside off, Shehzad reaches out for it and pushes it through covers. Times it so well and the ball races to the fence. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: K Williams to A Shehzad, OUT! Bowled round the legs! Full and straight, angling in. Shehzad tries to be too cheeky as he moves across and looks to tickle it fine. Misses it completely and the ball goes onto shatter the woodwork. West Indies get their man but it's come a bit late for them. Pakistan need 15 off 24 balls to win! |
| 17.1 : 17.1: K Williams to B Azam, OUT! Williams has another wicket. Back of a length delivery outside off, Azam stays back and pulls it hard. But, it's straight to substitute Powell at short mid-wicket. He does extremely well to jump and outstretch his right hand to catch the ball. Azam is disappointed but has to walk back. Pakistan need to keep it calm. They need just 10 runs off 17 balls. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: J Holder to S Malik, FOUR! Low full toss outside off, Malik just caresses it through cover-point for a boundary. With this, PAKISTAN WIN THE MATCH BY 7 WICKETS WITH 6 BALLS TO SPARE! |
