Match Report - Salim Parvez - A wash out at Bridgetown

Pakistan kicked off their T20I series against full strength and beefed up West Indies with fair degree of confidence but rain had the last word in this no result game. The tourists were denied to chase a target of 86 runs in a 9-over per side game. It was a further blow to the T20 World Cup preparation for both sides, after covid-19 had forced the series to consist of four matches.

West Indies was put into bat in the game shortened by rain to nine overs. Debutant Mohammad Wasim, a strongly-built fast-medium bowler from North Waziristan, forced Lendl Simmons to retire hurt with a blow on his neck and would go on to claim the prize wicket of Chris Gayle. Nicholas Pooran hit two sixes off Mohammad Hafeez but was dismissed in the same over. After 5.1 overs, West Indies were 51-4 and the game was evenly poised. Pakistan did pretty well to contain the opposition to a total of 85-5, with the top scorer skipper Kieron Pollard (22 not out), taking 12 runs of the last three balls of the innings.

All remaining three matches of the T20I series will be staged in Guyana, in the next six days.
