00:00The series is on the line for the West Indies as they take on Pakistan.
00:15It is the CWI T20 International Series, live from Broward County Stadium.
00:23A bit earlier, we did have the toss and, which I hope after winning the toss in the first T20,
00:29and yeah, no luck this time, as Salmanaga throws the bat.
00:36Just one change, they're still experimenting, Pakistan.
00:40Salmanaga says they're not far away from their best 11, but it is Hassan Ali.
00:44That's in today for the speeds to Harris-Row.
00:49Darren Gangers alongside the West Indies have made two changes.
00:52Hi, Nicole, greetings all. Two changes, yes, confirmed.
00:55Alec Atonez from Dominica comes into the side.
00:58We'll wait to see where he bats.
01:00And then Casey Carty gets another opportunity after playing against Australia in St. Kitts.
01:06But it's a team that will focus really hard in the middle phase of the innings with bat and ball.
01:13And they know of that record, that unenviable record of seven consecutive losses.
01:19That's it, they lose this one tonight.
01:25The West Indies themselves going with one less bowler today, no blades.
01:29Going for the extra batter in Karati.
01:30So that will be something else for Shea Hope to consider.
01:33Saib Zahra Farhan from Charsada in Pakistan.
01:40What a story.
01:40He had made his debut internationally 2018, then three years out of the international side.
01:48At one stage couldn't make a PSL team.
01:50But domestically, hundreds and he's back.
01:53Saib Zahra Farhan notched his second international 50 in this format a couple of days ago.
01:59Saib Zahra Farhan Rosett is one of the two overs of spin in the power play in that first game.
02:20Some way to get your first boundary of the innings.
02:24I don't think he was intending it for it to go there.
02:30good luck on this showing that attacking intent straight away as you would expect
02:37saimayoub will be looked at because of that innings he played in the first game a half century really
02:43paving the way for pakistan to get to 178.
02:52again wide and again wallahaz saimayoub
02:55equal with dj bravo for the most t20 international wickets for the windys
03:04and it's the length too very courageous by holder to go full and a little bit wider
03:12at times as an opening bat you're looking for ball on bat you're searching for the ball
03:19that is exactly what he was attempting to do there
03:21hold on his smarts that wisdom from him and he climbs joint with bravo
03:32great first wicket for the wind is it's the inform ayo heading back to the pavilion it's nine for one
03:37options is what he's got as a man that is one of them the reverse sweep
03:47and he knows exactly what batting high up the other and in the power play requires requires a player to
03:56seize the situation make use of that new ball put pressure on the bowlers
04:01this is another chance
04:12this time rutherford takes it
04:15a celebration from holder he's now the leading wicket taker
04:19for the west indies in t20 international cricket that's what it means to him
04:27and the appreciation of the effort to complete the catch japan rutherford
04:32hasn't been at his very best in the outfield with his catching efficiency
04:38but he comes up trump on this occasion
04:41just out of position but good hands at the last minute he was so close in that drop zone
04:49and this is a big blow for pakistan
04:52bahan departs for three it's 16 for two
04:59tie and it's another opportunity
05:02and that is brilliant from jason holder it really is a difficult catch
05:11he is in every aspect of the wickets here so far tonight
05:16this has been superb from west indies so far
05:20struggle in the field in the first t20i but they've set the standard that's gone high into the
05:27night sky and he's really kept his eyes bang on it settle underneath it what a catch he knows it
05:35west indies they've made an impact straight away in this power play harris goes for 4 21 for three
05:48advancement down the picture and starts over with a maximum
05:53first off the night
06:01they're coming off the battle vega
06:05and fans is down the track
06:10that bit of room
06:11down the track as well for fakka and he almost matches aga this time of four so they've decided
06:23that this is the over they want to get going
06:28you can understand from mochi's perspective just trying to bowl it a bit wider because he possibly saw
06:34the advancement of fakka
06:42this will challenge the boundary from mario shepard
06:46belabor doesn't get there brings up the 50 before pakistan nine overs gone
06:54down on the ground romario shepard gets there wonderful catch rust and chase into the attack first ball
07:08gets rid of fakka
07:11yeah another wicket before west indies as they keep the pressure on
07:16the first delivery again wider bowling to that plan
07:24luring fakka into the shot but not the connection and he holds out a wonderful catch from romario shepard
07:33and chase strikes with his first pakistan man goes for 20 and pakistan lose their fourth on 53
07:41catch it that's in there away from the field
07:51might just be one bounce for four in fact it is so a little bit error errant in the line and dispatch
08:00yeah attempting to sweep shot a few deliveries now and making the connection this time
08:05it spins away from martin is but it's a good scoring option for pakistan
08:17that's in the air again and it's on the other side of the field at this time
08:22first to his right and now the attorneys is left a couple fours in the over
08:27yeah this delivery much faster 85.7 in kilometers per hour so played much more in front of the fielder
08:44tell you what it's not an easy shot to play with a ball of that length and it's skinny nature
08:48yeah pace on he's not short enough just not back of a length enough just slightly full and that's
08:59why he's thumped it down the ground he's very strong down the ground anything in his up will go now
09:06just slightly missed his yorker that is the strength of hassan nawaz he's some talent 91 for four
09:26there you go full and he's such a pure striker off the cricket ball it's just easily hit over the top
09:36this won't be the option you go full and miss your lane that was a low full toss but hassan nawaz has
09:52power to burn
09:55he is the definition of the brand pakistan wants to play going forward we're down and out in trouble
10:03we will counter attack 22 years old from laia some talent
10:23make that two in a row game is shifting as the hundred comes up
10:28and you ball full to him at any sort of pace and he'll make you pay that is right in the slot
10:41that's a back swing again straight down and following the ball there's the power
10:49he does pull his length back and hassan nawaz is also still there he was 15 off 15
11:02he's 39 off 21 110 for four
11:16three and three for hassan nawaz he's going short but that's not enough base on it
11:22again the swing of the bat the power that he possesses
11:30catch and gone it is jason holder what a game he's having huge wicket huge moment in the game
11:38in the pressure moment you ask your senior most experienced players to stand up
11:4932 of the last two jason holder going to his straight yorkers
11:56not sure about the dance moves but he's sure about the wicket
11:59asana was impactful but departs at a critical stage of the innings gone for 40 113 for five
12:11that's close that's straight
12:14not out says umpire gregory brathwaite so
12:19she hope going for the review straight away
12:21original decision not out pitching outside off impact in line and with it's hitting ready to go
12:31about on field to greg greg i'll have to ask you to change your not out decision to out your on
12:37screen major signal now another turning point in the game budakish moti coming to the fore with a
12:45wicket the important one of salman aga the captain of pakistan
12:52another blow to this batting he goes for 38 it's 117 for six
13:04and another when it rains it pours moti having a sparkling over
13:13astra going for a block
13:17yeah you gotta give credit to shea hope as well his captaincy to get moti on after he's been expensive
13:25and he doesn't disappoint he repairs the faith of the captain by a double wicket
13:30strike in fact he's now on a hat trick near one left hand orthodox to the other maki hussein and moti
13:38a very brief stay for fahim ashraf and one one seven for seven
13:43that's clean clean but not long shammar joseph completes the catch it's holder once more
13:58in and amongst the wickets he's leading of course bowling like a man possessed tonight
14:05they're looking to continue to extend that lead as the highest wicket taker in this format for the
14:14westernese well judge catch by shammar joseph boulder again a four for now for him
14:22moment nowaz goes for two one thirty for eight
14:31that battle goes wrong and jewel andrew shows his quality behind the stumps good reaction
14:39from the young man and the western is poised to ball pakistan out
14:44i just wonder if shammar joseph saw the early movement from hassan ali and just sort of pulled
14:51his length back he was expecting it full yeah wide as well so good smart bowling and a smart catch as
15:00well from jewel andrew it's been for the most part an exceptional bowling display from the western is 132
15:10for nine now and it's a very good one by shammar joseph another defensive yorker outside the off stump
15:22and the west indians they've shown great excellence with the ball is that a match-winning effort from
15:29the west indian bowlers pakistan after 20 overs 133 for nine
15:35it's a 133 for nine that's all pakistan could muster they struggled in that uh poor play phase
15:44as you heard earlier three wickets to the westernese and only 24 runs so the tone was set with the ball
15:51by the west indians and then it was that partnership of 60 between the skipper salmanaga
15:56hassan nawaz that brought respectability the bowling point of view again you have to give the west indians
16:06credit so good was akil hussein up front with three overs then jason holder his class his experience
16:17and his record taking center stage four wickets for 19 in his four overs
16:22with the case moti after going for runs pulled things back with two wickets in his last over and
16:29roughson chase also playing a part in the spin department
16:38now can shine freely find some swing there was none for him last night
16:41this is 50 20 international a return to the format for him lost his place in the west indian test team
16:55he's had some time back in dominica in saint lucia playing cricket he'll be refreshed and jewel andrew
17:02who got that 35 on debut but lowered his tempo outside of the power play
17:14just looking to go across the line jewel andrew lucky to get away with that with the deep point in place
17:20seven for none
17:32the ball just going across with the angle so it's skirted off the outer half of the bat
17:47took a while but he gave him first delivery afan is facing nawaz
17:53he's reviewed
17:53original decision of out pitching outside of impact in line wickets hitting ready to go back on field to
18:04dighton dighton you stay with your original out decision you're on screen make your signal
18:10return is short for alec athenes
18:18two for athenes
18:26elegant as ever
18:28since how much hope of western lee's performance gives to fans around the caribbean
18:41and otherwise
18:42very low risk shot as an ally might pull his length back slightly
18:51his idol at the other end she hope will be proud of that stroke
18:57full presentation of the bat face
18:59he's actually better the shot that she hope hit two balls ago
19:09it was very similar just the control and the low risk
19:13in the shot has an ally cannot afford to pitch that close
19:19to hold or jewel andrew
19:29sound off the bat when she hope makes contact with the middle of the bat
19:34the bat was it two boundaries here
19:43i'm just a touch short just a touch wide and off stump his balance has been superb
19:54not been comfortable against finn doesn't have him then he's got him now
19:59a second goes down for the west indies nawaz again
20:04and when you do good things i always believe you are rewarded when you play fairly
20:13it's a part of the game that jewel andrew will have to work on playing the spin
20:20probably holding his shape and playing out perhaps a higher percentage
20:25opportunity rather than hoiking across the line
20:29was slightly short but not short enough
20:3212 off 10 to jewel andrew 26 for two
20:42go for four
20:44that's a fine stroke from chiffon rutherford he's a powerful man
20:48that's excellent from chiffon rutherford yeah his hands quickly through that delivery the fielder had
21:01no chance
21:06oh that's a beauty that's a real beauty it angled in and then spun away
21:12and he gets the support of the umpire that and butler
21:18was it going on to hit the stumps the review taken
21:20original decision original decision out pitching in line impact in line
21:29wickets hitting review loss ready to go about on field to dighton dighton you stay with your out
21:34decision you're on screen make your signal great initial decision by that one butler
21:39you're going to be in rutherford it's kryptonite kryptonite of course spin eight times out of nine innings
21:48this year being dismissed by die
21:51spin up what do you want for three
21:58wicket wicket so she hope captain departs
22:02is that man nawaz again with his left arm spin trying to go into out for she hope
22:13inside half of the bat has gone quickly back to the bowler but nawaz with his third wicket
22:21another important strike the ball didn't turn so it's just going on with the arm
22:29disappointed captain but a huge wicket in the context of the game she hope 21 53 for four
22:45hasn't hit it at all well and another one goes down and say mayub strikes again
22:52and pakistan sees control further
22:56a pressure pressure
23:02and this is the result
23:06coming off the toe end of rust and chase bat and he holds out power failure
23:16now he picks up another he picks up another wicket
23:20that of rust and chase who goes for 16 western is in some trouble 70 for five
23:33finally a boundary after 51 deliveries
23:37and that's unheard of you know for west indian batter
23:47that boundary comes off the bats of a good a kiss moti
23:51second six of the innings and they need more of this yeah what a strike from good a kiss moti
24:15you lined him up and swung for the leg side you didn't even bother to look 102 meters the distance
24:32he goes again and he goes big
24:40necessary six again two in the over
24:45perhaps the biggest of the innings definitely the biggest over of the innings 15 off it
24:51this is excellent ball striking good a kiss moti with the second six
25:03of this over and the third of the innings
25:06going across the line going across the line is that nifty work by the keeper
25:19mohammed behind the stumps just dislodging the bills
25:22freeze it back
25:31okay yes right there i'm satisfied and ready to make my decision for the big screen
25:38not a twist in the tail pakistan fights back with the wickets
25:42for a good innings 28 now it's 96 for six
25:55bottom edge and the finger goes up so
25:59the pressure paying dividends for pakistan casey karty struggles once more and further trouble for the west
26:08indians
26:10and sufyan goes flatter quicker outside of the googley previous delivery
26:17beat cardi this time he goes into the pitch the flipper skids away that's a good catch a very good
26:24catch from harris staying low captain happy pakistan suddenly in front of the game sufyan mukim wonderful over
26:39party out for three 98 for seven
26:46enough bats enough bats from shepherd he gets going to the delight of the fans that's an important boundary
26:54for the west indians that's always the risk with the white yorker and third in the circle any edge flies
27:04through base on in the edge carries it down to third
27:13he does the long leavers coming into action jason holder gives the west indians hope 12 from the over 110 for seven
27:24well such a clean striker is jason holder and doesn't get cleaner than that
27:37opened himself up and thrashed it over square leg that is fabulous hitting 89 meters
27:45cracked away and long enough that's romario shepard at his very best
27:57yes that is power it was slower into the pitch and it's just been muscled over the top
28:07what an important hit that was he's waited and waited and then just
28:12hit it as hard as he could 86 meters the situation now shifts towards the west indies
28:20yes focus from romario shepard
28:25and he goes again
28:29gets four so back to back boundaries shepard turning it on
28:33and bringing the westerners closer to the target
28:38fabulous from revario shepard this time outside the off sub he opens the back face
28:44it's almost the perfect white yorker but just a little bit of length catches up with it
28:50slices it away
28:57goes straight and that should hit the target he gets the support of dighton butler
29:03it's another shift in this game
29:06no reviews left for the west indians so that's the end of romario shepard
29:11he has a quick delivery wide of the crease instead of the wide yorker this was the variation goes into
29:21the stumps he's hit him on the full he's right back on the stump so not a lot for the ball to travel
29:29nine shot free the strikes back mario shepard's cameo of 15 ends it's 127 for eight
29:46and joseph can't get the boundary just manages a single so it boils down to the last delivery
29:53off the innings four required for a win
30:01and it's a wide so we will have to wait exercise patience
30:09the equation simplified now a bit for the west indians
30:15shine shah fridi here we go final delivery off the game and holder makes contact and he gets it through
30:23the west indians win from the impossible only the third win in the last 21 t20 eyes
30:31and the first win in the last t20 eyes against pakistan
30:36holder you hero a fittingly jason holder with the victory
30:44started off with the ball in the field and ends it with a boundary left side
30:50a fabulous game but a fabulous game that has went west indian way courtesy jason holder
31:02the cg united moment of the match there were many moments many tense moments but this
31:08of course the sparkling efforts of jason holder with the bat to finish things off
31:14and secure a very important win for his side

31:32and the fans adding to the ambience making it a memorable t20 international
31:38cg united moment of the match
31:53in the end it was west indians who got home on the very last delivery
31:58asan nawas 40 of 23 agat 38 holder four for 19 that's a couple of catches and then when it came
32:08with the bat was again jason holder with that crucial 16 not out and a boundary of the last ball to win it
