In pursuit of 190, West Indies began strong, with 30 runs from the first 10 balls. However, Pakistan’s bowlers soon tightened the noose. Haris Rauf and Mohammad Nawaz were instrumental, with Nawaz taking a key wicket, removing Hope for just seven. Ayub took another vital wicket, sending Alick Athanaze back for 60, leaving West Indies with 80 runs to get from the last 42 balls.
Despite a valiant effort by Rutherford, who hit a six to bring up his half-century, West Indies fell short. Rutherford was dismissed for 51, and the hosts couldn’t mount another dramatic final-over fight. Sufiyan Muqeem and Nawaz’s spin efforts kept the pressure mounting, with Pakistan sealing the victory with 16 balls remaining.
Congratulations Team Pakistan on a fantastic T20 series win against West Indies in the USA! Great teamwork, determination, and spirit on display. Proud of our boys for making the nation proud on international soil. Keep the momentum going!
