00:00one more chance for these two teams to secure glory it's the final match in this three-match
00:18series and a series decider in this the third t20i between the westernies and pakistan
00:23a little bit earlier the coin danced in the air and it was salman aga calling right winning and
00:33electing to bowl first starts off with a lovely delivery very slow through the air now on the
00:48surface we've seen that if you hold slowly get a little more grip a little more turn
00:57slug swept and it goes for six so the first real evidence of power
01:06use of the feet and there comes the big stroke nails it farhan gets the right result for pakistan
01:22after 425 without loss
01:23this has been a clear plan now from pakistan to push the west indian spinners off of that length
01:38this has been excellent options
01:43an adaptation by these two pakistani batters in the last few deliveries
01:47he has nailed that even with the field spread deep leg side backing himself farhan this evening
02:04and because that mid-off is up saima you says thank you some clear
02:09farhan whipping this one into the leg side are you i beg your pardon and picks up another boundary for
02:22pakistan
02:27yeah away from the field that should be a boundary wonderful ball striking placement and timing a
02:34wonderful fusion from farhan
02:39that's crunched that's a mammoth that's disappeared wonderful wonderful again from farhan he likes it
02:49they like it
02:55once two just a single
02:57a half century for farhan his third t20i half century his first against the west indies
03:07and he'll know that he has a long way to go still in this contest
03:15they do so ayub makes a superb adjustment
03:19hitting through the leg side 100 comes up
03:27goes again
03:28goes again
03:31boundary pinache to bring up a second 50
03:36in this series against the west indies and third in t20 international cricket
03:41it's taken him a while to find his identity he's getting closer
03:44with each race to the boundary
03:57they continue to show that intent against the spin
04:01the slope seat from farhan has produced serious results 130 for none
04:05that's high it's another chance
04:17well that's what they wanted it wasn't easy for she hope
04:26and a very good partnership too at the top for pakistan
04:29who is looking to slice the ball use the pace
04:35find the boundary but shama joseph comes up trumps might be a little bit delayed but
04:43this is a positive thing for the west indies good half century from farhan it's 138 for one
04:48there is the short ball and it's traveled so now we have an answer to that all the way for six
04:58149 for one
05:02very strong down that area as we saw particularly in the previous game
05:17hassan noaz
05:18time has he i don't think he has distance very good safe hands from romario shepard and chase strikes
05:31just varying maybe length and pace as well
05:37showing courage to put a little bit of revs on the ball
05:41you reacted to the batter as well batter going offside he followed him
05:45and allow him to hit easily leg side so good smart crickets by the west indians noaz
05:53producing 15 it's 158 for two
06:03need to take off now that will go to the television umpire
06:15ball is collected stumps broken bassman short of his ground ready with my decision to the big screen
06:32the throw from the outfield spells the end of mohammed harris for two 160 for three
06:38and he gets it gets under it it was a full toss in the end but that's exactly why he was deep in his
06:49crease and the result they were looking for
06:55catches the cry and taken again by rutherford
07:02third time in three matches that jason holer has got saim ayyub
07:10in this series he will be disappointed because usually as an opening batter when you get to this
07:16stage in your innings this is the icing on the cake when you have a chance to go after
07:22all the bowlers search for boundaries
07:28they're very disappointed that he wasn't there to the end
07:32but he's played a good hand 66 from 49 it's 170 for four
07:39goes wide but not wide enough that's a good strike it's a brilliant strike from kushville
07:45picked up nicely to close things out
08:02gets the yoker in nicely on that occasion and keeps it to one no it'll come back for two again there's
08:09sloppiness from the west indies that gives an extra run
08:15and pakistan end at 189 for four from their 20 overs the fans like this batting performance
08:26time will tell whether in the decider it is a match winning score 59 runs have come in the last five
08:36so the westernies will have their work cut out we'll probably be able to find a little bit of
08:41inspiration from this first effort with the bat mahan and ayyub got themselves in got half centuries
08:49and gave pakistan control all the way through and they finish on 189 football the highest score we've seen
08:57in the series so far
09:02akil hussein none for 32 from his four wicket to jason holder and roston chase as well as shamar joseph but
09:10he was expensive in this accommodation go-overs for burakesh motley for 14 and a couple to shepherd
09:18decisive game here and the western leaves their target is 190 from their 20 overs the asking rate
09:30at nine and a half we can take a short break i'm going to be back here with that more in a little
09:36one slip in place deep point deep square my word exquisite i think same are you who has batted for
09:51almost the entirety of the first innings has done well enough there that had class written all over it
10:04again through the offside will be four more so joel andrew in his flamboyant self
10:24that is so good after standing his ground throughout the over to use his feet there
10:3016 for none the jewel andrews show
10:36he's one that sweeps he likes his sweep both conventional and reverse
10:45excellent excellent from the west indies in nine deliveries
10:49fearless batting darren sammy said earlier he doesn't like survival batting he wants his batters
11:03to pick an option and bat themselves
11:09dropped it
11:10one of those that you want to hold on to by the way i'm not a big fan of the stumps lighting up as
11:20the bowler just jumps into his garden
11:26tie it's a chance
11:27hassan ali takes the catch so harris rob strikes and that is a celebration and a half
11:43joel andrew again just trying to heap this one into the leg side
11:48it's an excellent tracking from hassan and an excellent take
11:57look at the celebration brilliant from ralph
12:00as he sees the back of drool andrew he goes for 24 in west indies 44
12:11squeeze away for four
12:15the extra piece of ralph taking it to the boundary quickly
12:19good enough in these ashraf
12:22got his line wrong good again from alec afanese looks in good touch and innovative here tonight
12:37it's what he brings
12:39this will be his joint equal highest score in t20 internationals with opportunity to go well past it
12:47catch catch catch that's in there will it land see if he knows it's taken it's pouch
12:54saeim ayyub and that man again
12:58muhammad nawaz with another wicked seven now
13:02in the series the leading wicket taker
13:06just enough turn for nawaz
13:10he wasn't right up to it so just short of a length it's a good catch comfortable catch
13:15but a wicket that pakistan needed nawaz provides captain sheeho he departs for seven it's 74 for two
13:30that's gone that's a massive strike from chauffeur rutherford that's what he can do when he's on song
13:37the reverse and it's gone through the dive over the wall from mason ali and it goes to the fence
13:49all right back on the way saima yub is into the attack i've saved the best one for last
13:56it is 54 alec athenes he will be very pleased with this effort making a return to the t20 international
14:02format first time since august of 2024 he will be critical
14:13wonderful strike good placement from chauffeur rutherford
14:21big shot in the gap and that's four so that will help with the acceleration
14:26will get western is closer to the target so alec athenes he takes the initiative
14:35use of the feet aims straight and does very well this is really terrific batting from alec athenes
14:44goes across goes across goes across and to his demise sayam ayub has come up trumps for his team
15:00comes off the two of the bat slices off and makes for easy catching
15:05so are you has the last laugh that's the last thing he got the wickets of art and is the well
15:16set art on it he goes for 60 from 40 west indies 110 for three
15:26nice opening up the blade beautiful delightful to watch a fan rutherford this time with the death touch
15:32she sweeps
15:37leg side and that's four so brilliant shot from rust and chase and pressure no and are you
15:48that's big that's massive shafane rutherford comes up trumps
15:54he will get it short ball top edge rutherford wouldn't mind that because the outcome is achieved
16:09sweetly time sweetly time and that's for his highest score in the series and that's the most glorious
16:17stroke we've seen from him
16:23it's flown away
16:25desired result for the west indies and for chase in the run chase
16:30roston chase retired from the middle because he's been struggling to keep up with the pace that is required
16:44yeah he's got his man this is an important over
16:53he's still standing there he wants confirmation jason holder
16:59but he has to go so the form batter is gone
17:03he holds it quite quickly skids off the surface goes next side and hits leg stump
17:09does sufyan twist in the game pakistan just now applying the pressure runs needed
17:18an important 18th over dot delivery and then the wicket jason holder no runs today 149 for five
17:27that's high it could go all the way it has gone all the way that's one of what they needed harris ralph
17:38bangs the ground didn't take it wide enough
17:42go straight and down to long on and taken pakistan have really fought and battled
17:56in the last five or six overs or so to put themselves out front and it continues the good work
18:04hasanari this time angling it back in all of length to work with the whip to the leg side
18:12and it goes straight to saib zada faran pakistan closing the door on west indies rutherford 51
18:21is now 166 for six
18:26that will not do any good for the west indies it skidded away into the boundary
18:33hit that nicely too little too late from godakesh moti
18:48confirmation of another series victory for pakistan against the west indies
18:55second series win for salman aliaga's team
19:05after the last ball defeat 24 hours ago they've come back to winning ways
19:14completing the victory here by 13 runs
19:17they just just have the wood over the west indies home or abroad in this format of the game
19:36so it is a series winning victory in this 30 20 international pakistan took the first west indies
19:44who's came back off the last ball in the second but getting to 189 for four today batting first again
