Rizwan, Haider, and Shadab lead Pakistan to a comprehensive win

Rizwan, Haider, and Shadab: After the home side set up a huge 200 for 6, the West Indies disintegrated in their pursuit. In the absence of Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik, Pakistan was given a glimpse into their middle-order future.

Haider Ali demonstrated why he’s the next great thing, overcoming a slow start before igniting the innings

With a powerful 39-ball 68 that set the tone for a strong batting performance. Pakistan’s total of 200 for 6 was more than enough, as the West Indies crumbled under the pressure of spin. The Karachi fans may have gone home hoping for a more level playing field.

After West Indies opted to bowl, Babar Azam was out on the second ball. Akeal Hosein, a left-arm spinner, got one to spin sharply, giving wicketkeeper Shai Hope the edge. Then, when he toe-ended a trudge too long-on, Fakhar Zaman succumbed to Romario Shepherd’s change of pace. Pakistan was two down and stuttering like a two-stroke engine running on petroleum inside the powerplay.

Mohammad Rizwan, who was exceptionally quick on the draw, kept the runs ticking along with timely boundaries

As he racked up a 34-ball half-century, his length selection against pace was flawless.

However, he had to keep his word against spin, particularly from Hosein, who concluded his four overs with 1 for 19 by the 11th over. Haider was on 12 off 14 at the time, searching for big hits but unable to hit them cleanly. Then, with the flip of a switch, it’s all over.

He climbed into Odean Smith’s medium pace off the 12th over, hitting him for three fours and a six to start his innings. It turned out to be the catalyst for a subsequent run-up. As Haider lifted his half-century with an 83-meter six, rookie Dominic Drakes, who’s also struggling for consistency, sat beneath his vehicle.

With Pakistan at 140 for 2 at the 15-over stage, it had come off just 28 balls.

When Odean caught him running around the ropes at deep midwicket. A third-wicket stand of 105 runs has been broken.

Asif Ali, the six-hitter, was given the opportunity to lead an inexperience offense after Rizwan’s departure, but he only manage to score one run.

Mohammad Nawaz, it turned out, did a lot more. The visitors, who had hope to limit Pakistan to 180 runs, were caught off guard by his three fours and two sixes. However, everything was to alter as Romario Shepherd’s 19th over went for 21, providing for a tremendous finish.

With the objective already out of reach and the asking rate increasing by the minute.

Nawaz and Shadab Khan weaved a web around the hitters, masterfully utilizing the crease and length variations to keep the batters in check

Rovman Powell was caught beautifully by a diving Nawaz at long-on. Hope was out lbw sweeping, Shamarh Brooks was bowl trying to heave into the leg side, and Hope went out lbw sweeping.

West Indies were on the verge of getting bowl out in under 20 overs at 88 for 7. However, Odean (24 off 16) and Shepherd (21 off 16) teamed up to deliver some devastating punches. Despite the fact that they only served to narrow the defeat margin.

The first ball was a beautiful up-and-down cover drive. The third ball was a six-pitch short-arm jab. Is that enough to demoralize a 20-year-old rookie who wants to impress the team’s management? Mohammad Wasim is not one of them. As he was late on the shot, he react with a pin-point yorker to flatten Nicholas Pooran’s off-stump. He might have overestimated Wasim’s speed.

Then he smacked comeback man Devon Thomas flush on the boot with the second genuine delivery of his next over, the sixth of the innings. He’s gone, and he didn’t even bother to review. Inside the Powerplay, West Indies were 46 for 3.
