00:01West Indies taking first strike against Pakistan.
00:03Brandon King cracking a solid boundary.
00:08Then he didn't get to the pitch of the ball and paid the price.
00:14Evan Lewis and Kesikati looked at home at the wicket.
00:18He's played this pull shot so many times before and it looks good every time sailing
00:22over the boundary ropes.
00:24They were doing well to put the West Indies in a good position.
00:34However it's easy to lose focus when the runs are coming.
00:38Said batsmen can fall to within just one delivery despite its poor quality.
00:43Carty goes for 30 with the score on 81.
00:46Still though there was no defensive curl.
00:49Lewis marched on, got his half sentry and skyd a catch that Shaheen Afridi held on to.
00:54105 for 3 in the 19th over.
00:57He made it 60 but did his wicket cost the Windies the match.
01:08The home team needed him to bat on.
01:10Shefayne Rutherford continues to lack form, sniped out for 10 before he can find himself
01:15again.
01:16She-Hope and Ruston Chase both scored half sentries in a crucial period.
01:20With real beauty, Ruston Chase.
01:23But the road ahead was still uncertain.
01:25No one shot would win the match and with 200 up with 10 overs to go, 300 looked possible.
01:32Hope gone for 55 off 77 balls.
01:37No fireworks from Romario Shepard.
01:40Yeah that should be taken.
01:42It is taken.
01:44Gurukesh Moti added the impetus to the Windies needed, 31 from 18.
01:49Power and precision from Gurukesh Moti.
01:52The West Indies eventually getting up to 280 all out in the 49th over.
01:57Afridi the chief destroyer with 4 wickets for 51 runs.
02:01In reply, Jadon Seals struck early to remove Saeim Ayub for 5.
02:07Abdullah Shafiq and Baba Azam saw what the Windies did with 1 wicket down early.
02:12A similar scenario played out, Shafiq fell one short of Kati's score, gone on review.
02:20And the big wicket of Baba Azam gone for 47, trying to flush Moti for another boundary,
02:27but he was the one going down the drain.
02:29Mohammed Rizwan and Salman Aga kept them on target.
02:33That is supreme timing.
02:37Until Aga gifted Chase a wicket.
02:39Like that, a gentle lob back to the bowler.
02:45And as Timmy Joseph removed Rizwan for 53, he was the last wicket to fall, but there should
02:51have been another wicket to go.
02:54Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Talat were taking the game away from the Windies.
02:58Pakistan still needed 28 from 19 at that stage.
03:10Nawaz finished not out on 63, Talat with him on 41.
03:15Pakistan run down 180 for the loss of 5 wickets with an over and a ball to spare.
03:21They take a 1-0 lead in the three-match OEI series.
