Nichoals Pooran was stranded on 62 not out

A Babar Azam half-century followed by an economical spell from Mohammad Hafeez ensured Pakistan a seven-wicket win over West Indies in the second T20I yesterday.

In overcast conditions and scattered drizzles at the National Stadium, Providence, the handful of fully vaccinated spectators witnessed West Indies’ captain, Kieron Pollard winning the toss and inserting the visitors.

Despite a blossoming start, a late collapse saw Pakistan reach 157 for eight from their allotted overs but that was enough as West Indies were contained to 150 for four by the time their overs expired.
