Following the win in the 2nd T20 against Pakistan to level the three-match series, West Indies cricketer Jason Holder was pleased with his all-round performance.

But he wants the Windies batters to apply themselves better against the Pakistani spinners going into the decider.
Transcript
00:00West Indies cricketer Jason Holder had a match-winning performance against Pakistan in the second
00:05T20 taking four scalps.
00:07In the process, he became the leading wicket-taker amongst West Indians in that format.
00:12He also made 16 not out, which included the winning boundary of the last ball.
00:17As a result, the series is 1-1, heading into Sunday night's a decider.
00:21Look, it was just a complete day for me and a one that I would definitely relish.
00:25Yeah, just proud of the boys, man.
00:26We fought.
00:27We fought right to the end.
00:28Yeah, it was probably a little closer than we wanted, but at the end of the day, we got
00:31over the line.
00:32Holder was not satisfied with the approach of the West Indian batters in pursuit of 134
00:37for victory.
00:38He says Pakistan's slow bowlers have caused the West Indies a lot of problems.
00:43I still didn't think that we did well enough to negotiate.
00:45There are spinners in the middle.
00:46They've obviously plagued us in this series so far.
00:48So we need to do a better job of turning the strike over and also finding the boundary.
00:52I think a lot of times in these past two games, we've found ourselves behind the eight ball
00:56and trying to catch up at the back end.
00:58And we've been able to do so to a certain extent, but I still think we need to negate
01:02some of the damage a little bit early on in the game and try to kill the game a bit earlier.
01:06Having been swept 5-0 by Australia, the West Indies have a chance to redeem themselves.
01:12And in order for that to happen, the 33-year-old says the batters have to take a positive approach
01:17against Pakistan.
01:19I would love to see the guys take on the game a little bit more in the middle overs, maybe
01:23even in the power play.
01:24I think we had a good power play to start in the first game.
01:26But today I think we could probably take the game on a little bit more, be a little bit
01:30more fearless.
01:31I think we're just allowing the Pakistani bowlers to settle on a line of length and we're not
01:35able to negotiate the ball or manipulate the ball into the field.
01:38So I think I would just love to see our batters probably play a little bit more fearless,
01:41not reckless obviously, but a little bit more fearless and try to put the pressure back
01:45on the opposition.
01:46According to Holder, the Wendy's were able to take a few positives from the Australia
01:50series into this one.
