Stay tuned for the presentation...

Earlier in the day, after electing to bat, Windies, courtesy of Hope's ton got to a really good total. They could have gotten a few more but Pakistan did well to pull things back in the end. That though did not prove to be enough as a combined batting effort from the hosts saw this being chased down.

West Indies bowled well with the new ball! They managed to keep the Pakistan batters quiet. However, the likes of Akeal Hosein and Hayden Walsh were disappointed. They leaked far too many runs in the middle overs. Alzarri Joseph did really well to get his side back in the game but Romario Shepherd was disappointing towards the end.

This though was a very calculated chase from Pakistan! They lost Fakhar Zaman early but Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam steadied things. It was slow going at the start but they eventually caught pace. Just as the game though was turning completely into Pakistan's side, Imam fell. Mohammad Rizwan though kept the good work going along with his skipper. The partnership these two added strengthened the hosts' hold on the game. However, after Azam fell, Rizwan too followed soon and it did seem like it was getting tight. Khushdil Shah though played an outstanding cameo to take his side over the line.

What a knock! What a knock that was from Khushdil Shah! He is playing as the finisher for Pakistan and has indeed justified his selection in the side. The stage was set for him to deliver and he has. Has to be said, he is one of the big reasons why Pakistan have taken a 1-0 lead in this series.
