So, that's it! West Indies win by seven wickets. Disappointing performance by Pakistan as they have been comprehensively outplayed by West Indies. Mohammad Amir's three-wicket haul is perhaps the only positive for Pakistan from this match. Windies short bowling was the highlight of the match and Pakistan batsmen had no answers to it. With this win, West Indies open their account on the ICC CWC 2019 points table. |Â PAK vs WI Full Scorecard
Expensive over this by Wahab Riaz. He concedes 14 runs. Shimron Hetmyer and Nicholas Pooran lived dangerously in this over. Nonetheless, West Indies inching towards the win.  Â
OUT! Mohammad Amir has picked his third wicket. It is Chris Gayle who departs. The left-hander is dismissed after scoring his half-century. The ball goes high in the air and Gayle is caught near point. C Gayle c Shadab Khan b Amir 50(34)Â
Ten over gone and mere formalities remain in this game. West Indies 35 runs away from victory now. Chris Gayle is one run away from his half-century. Â
Wahab Riaz introduced into the attack and he starts with a maiden. Tested Chris Gaye with a couple of short deliveries. Windies need 58 more runs to win this contest.Â
OUT! Mohammad Amir is amongst the wickets! This could be the only positive for Pakistan from this game. Darren Bravo departs for a four-ball duck as he is caught in the slip. Darren Bravo c Babar Azam b Amir 0(4)
West Indies now needs just 60 more runs to win this match. Chris Gayle is enjoying his time in the middle and has hit four fours and two sixes already.
OUT! Mohammad Amir strikes as Shai Hope throws his wicket away. Hope was looking to drive on the up but fails to make the proper connection and Mohammad Hafeez takes a good catch. Shai Hope c Hafeez b Amir 11(17)
Excellent batting this by Chris Gayle. He smashed Hassan Ali for two sixes int his over and with that he now holds the record of most sixes in the World Cup. Good over this for West Indies, 16 from it.
Hassan Ali with the second over. And Chris Gayle collects two boundaries in this over, both from the edges though. Pakistan need wickets early on and that too plenty of them to pull things back in their favour. Â
It has to be the pathetic display of batting by Pakistan. 105 is now the second lowest total for Pakistan in a World Cup match. 74 in 1992 World Cup remains their lowest. Apart from Oshane Thomas' four-wicket haul, Jason Holder picked three wickets.Â
OUT! That's it! Pakistan have been bundled out for just 105 runs. Oshane Thomas bowls Wahab Riaz and that is the end of a shambolic Pakistan batting.  Fourth wicket for Thomas this. Riaz b Thomas 18(11)
Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz are at the crease now, the last batting pair for Pakistan. This has been disappointing stuff by Pakistan. And the fans in the crowd are visibly disappointed with the team. Â
OUT! Yes, another one goes down. This time Mohammad Hafeez is back in the hutch. Short ball again does the trick. Hafeez fails to keep it down and the ball balloons high in the air and Sheldon Cottrell takes the catch near fine leg. Hafeez c Cottrell b Thomas 16(24)
OUT! Pakistan lose their eighth wicket. Sheldon Cottrell picks his third. Hasan Ali is caught at mid-off, could not keep the short ball down. The Green Shirts are losing wickets every now and then. Hasan Ali c Cottrell b Holder 1(4)
OUT! Poor cricket from Pakistan. Inside 18 overs they have lost seven wickets. West Indies bowlers running through Pakistan batting order. Oshane Thomas traps Shadab Khan in front of the wickets. Shadab Khan lbw b Thomas 0(1)
OUT! Pakistan lose their sixth wicket and it is once again short ball that brings the downfall. This time Imad Wasim falls victim to the bouncer. Bnagaed in short, Imad fails to keep it down and it goes towards the slip. Imad Wasim c Gayle b Holder 1(3)
OUT! Great use of DRS by West Indies. Jason Holder removes his counterpart Sarfraz Ahmed. The Pakistan skipper was looking to play it down the leg, and ends up gloving it to the wicketkeeper. It is getting worse and worse for Pakistan. Sarfaraz c Shai Hope b Holder 8(12)
Also, Pakistan enters the tournament with a losing streak ten matches. To make things worse for them, since the Champions Trophy win in 2017, Pakistan have won just nine out of 32 matches. And when it comes to World Cup, Pakistan have won only three out of seven matches against West Indies. The odds look to be against Pakistan. But thatâs when they rise to the occasion!
