Pakistan vs West Indies Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd Match - T20I Commentary
The ground might be small, but Windies weren't all that great with the ball. They lacked innovation and weren't supported in the field at all. Their mishaps from the previous game came to haunt them, and as a result, they paid the price for it. Dropped Babar Azam of all people and then he went on to score almost 20 more runs after that. The visitors will have to come out firing from the word go. A good start is key. Join us in a bit for the second half.
Another excellent total posted on the board by Pakistan. They've bettered their performance with the bat from yesterday and registered their highest-ever total in T20Is. Fakhar Zaman departed early but Babar Azam and the newbie Hussain Talat took things in their stride and powered a 119-run stand to set it all up. Shoaib Malik later came in and then along with Babar, ensured Pakistan crossed the 200-mark yet again. The latter might have missed out on his ton, but he played a superb knock yet again.
Kesrick Williams to Babar Azam. No he doesn't. But has played really well to take Pakistan to 205. Full ball on the legs of Azam who cannot flick it well enough for a boundary. The ball rolls to the short fine leg region where he can only pick up a run. PAKISTAN END WITH 205-3 AFTER 20 OVERS.

TOSS - Pakistan win the toss and will bat first!
For Pakistan, cricket has returned to Karachi after nine long years and they are surely making the most of it. The crowd came out in good numbers yesterday and the players didn't disappoint them a bit. Pakistan outclassed the visitors in all departments yesterday and will hope for the same performance today as well. We all expect the Windies to come stronger and harder at the hosts today. Should be a good contest.
The first game between these two saw Pakistan achieve their joint-highest T20I score while the Windies got their lowest. Interestingly, both sides do not have a day's break to analyze their game, something that Jason Mohammed's men will need more than their counterparts. The jet lagged Windies team will have to get their act together as quickly as possible if they want to make a mark on this tour. To make matters worse, they will be without their spinner, Veerasammy Permaul, who twisted his ankle in the course of the first match. With not much experience in their ranks, they will hope that their seniors come good and put aside all the critics which they had to face.
That's all we have for you folks. Pakistan win another series under the captaincy of Sarfraz Ahmed. Tomorrow, on 3rd April, Tuesday, is the last and final T20I of the series. Join us then again for that as we bring you all the live updates from the game which begins at 1930 local (1430 GMT). Till then, ta-ta!
Sarfraz Ahmed, the Pakistan skipper, is all praises to god and his team. He says that it is the players that win him the game and not his captaincy. On his captaincy, he adds by saying that he tries to stay calm and win every game. Opines that the whole staff is good and the boys are doing well to stay fit. Finally ends by thanking the crowd for their support.
Windies skipper, Jason Mohammed, says that he is disappointed with the team's performance but credits the batters for a better show. He states that it is difficult to set a field for the opposition as they keep on attacking. He ends by saying they will try and win the last game before going back home.
Babar Azam, the Man of the Match winner, says that he is unlucky not to get to his 100 but is happy with the way he batted. He continues saying that the plan was to bat 20 overs and he did just that. Ends by saying that it helps playing along with Fakhar Zaman as he takes away the pressure from him so that he can play his game.
Rameez Raja is down with Shadab Khan for an interview. The leggie states that he cannot grip the ball when there is dew so prefers bowling the leg spin instead of the googly. He says that there is a good atmosphere in the dressing room with the youngsters and they enjoy their time together. He adds by saying that they feel confident after the Pakistan T20 League and now are happy with the series win. Ends by saying that they are high on confidence and overjoyed with the crowd support.
The hosts were dominant with the ball and energetic in the field. Everybody, barring Faheem Ashraf, contributed to the visitor's downfall. Mohammad Amir showed his class and experience as he led the charge with a 3-fer. The rest did their job and bagged the win for the home crowd to celebrate. Earlier in the day, a century stand between Babar Azam (who barely missed out on a ton), and Hussain Talat and some late lusty blows from Shoaib Malik got Pakistan to a score which eventually proved too much for the Windies.
Two emphatic wins for Pakistan in two days. They outplayed Windies in all departments and came out victors on the other side of this contest. Chasing a target of 206, the tourists needed a blazing start to stand any chance, but that never happened as the Pakistan bowlers kept things tight and picked wickets at regular intervals. There wasn't a single fifty-run partnership in the Windies innings which should say everything in itself.
Hussain Talat to Odean Smith. OUT! PAKISTAN WIN BY 82 RUNS! Another massive win for the hosts. Fuller ball on the stumps, Smith looks to go big downtown. No distance on this, as it sails towards long off. Mohammad Nawaz there comes running in and takes a good diving catch to finish things up.

Ashraf runs to his right from third man and cuts it off, before throwing it back to the keeper. Now, what should have been an easy run turns into a disaster as Emrit comes back for the second.
