Pakistan Innings

Pakistan were put in to bat by Holder with the only changes being Hafeez and Amir replacing Fakhar and Rumman. Shehzad was initially circumspect though Kamran went after the bowling, with Gabriel's initial spell going for many runs. Part-timer Jason Mohammed was brought into the attack early but Kamran offered no respite - after an early maiden, the batsman went after him. Shehzad also batted at a relatively good rate as Pakistan kept up the run-rate at around 6 in the first 14 overs. However, Kamran fell for 47 in the 15th and the innings came to a standstill with the arrival of Hafeez. He hit one six off Bishoo but faced a slew of dots as the pressure mounted. Shehzad got to his fifty and accelerated but fell soon after for 67, the first of four victims for Nurse.

Hafeez's struggle continued while Babar wasn't able to get going straight away as the two batsmen failed to up the tempo. The run-rate dipped below five at one moment and Babar was dismissed as he swept the ball off Nurse straight to Joseph. Hafeez got going straight after the dismissal with three fours and a six in the next two overs while Malik also began to get a move on as a fifty partnership was raised in quick time. The two ended up putting on 89 off just 56 balls before Hafeez fell, caught in the deep off Nurse for 88 off 92 balls. Malik hit a few boundaries to get to his fifty off 36 balls but was soon dismissed for 53. Sarfraz finished with a couple of boundaries as Pakistan ended at 308/5.

Fall Of Wickets

1-85 (Kamran Akmal, 14.6 ov)
2-149 (Ahmed Shehzad, 27.5 ov)
3-177 (Babar Azam, 35.5 ov)
4-266 (Mohammad Hafeez, 45.1 ov)
5-284 (Shoaib Malik, 47.1 ov)

West Indies Innings

The chase began with Walton and Lewis getting away a couple of boundaries. A LBW shout by Amir was turned down while Hasan almost had one caught behind. However, Amir struck in the fifth over as Walton hit one straight to mid-off. Hafeez and Malik were brought into the attack against the two left-handers as pressure mounted with a prolonged period of slow scoring. Wahab bowled a couple of overs in the midst which were expensive. However, the pressure from the spinners paid off as Lewis fell to Hafeez for 47 as he was bowled trying to cut a shorter length delivery. Powell who had been painstakingly slow until then finally began to get some shots away, bringing up a fifty off 77 balls.

Just as Powell was looking good, Wahab returned to the attack and had him caught with a slower delivery which the batsman chipped to mid-off. Shadab joined in next over as Hope was dismissed, stumped for 24. West Indies needed 150 off the last 16 overs when Carter and Jason Mohammed came together. The latter straight away began aggressively, hitting regular boundaries off the pacers in particular. Imad came into the attack and was dispatched straight away for a couple of boundaries as Pakistan started feeling the pressure. The required rate was still around 10 an over but Jason Mohammed didn't back down, taking 15 off a Hasan over. Carter fell, caught at third man off Amir while Shadab bowled a tight over with the required rate again going above 10 once again. However, Jason Mohammed delivered with 17 off Amir's over. Shadab dismissed Holder but the new man Nurse didn't hold back with a couple of boundaries off Wahab straight away. The equation was brought down to 32 off 24 and the two batsmen didn't waste any time, finishing well, with an over to spare as Jason Mohammed remained not out on 91 off 58.

Fall Of Wickets

1-23 (Walton, 4.3 ov)
2-91 (Lewis, 21.4 ov)
3-156 (Powell, 32.1 ov)
4-158 (Hope, 33.4 ov)
5-228 (Carter, 41.3 ov)
6-259 (Holder, 44.3 ov)

Match Summary:

A massive win for West Indies in the context of World Cup qualification. Pakistan may have been disappointed with the batting, with the momentum being sucked out in the middle overs after a good start but they finished quite well and were well on top at one point in the chase despite not picking up wickets regularly. With around 10 an over needed off the last 15 overs, the visiting team would have felt the match was in their grasp but Jason Mohammed had other ideas and was ably supported by Nurse at the end as the home side pulled off a heist to complete their first chase of a target in excess of 300.

Next match: 2nd ODI on Sunday, 9th April.

To lose agsinst this side and let this total get chased..you have to be an awful team. Digusted and shattered.
 
Pleased for the Windies, they played for the badge. Pakistan guys were happy to settle for less and hope it was enough as usual.
 
Highest ever successful chase for West Indies and that too without Gayle, Samuels, Russell, Pollard, Bravo x 2, Simmons, Narine. Fantastic batting.
 
enjoyed the batting of Jason Muhammad so much
after a hell boring t20 series, finally some entertainment
 
Some of pak ppers claimed 3-0 for Pak in wi as prediction and i had to say 'halwa Hain Kia wi mein 3-0 Karna?'
Feeling bad for those posters...
 
Slap in the face of those who thought Windies were some gully mohalla team who'd roll over for 150.

Outstanding knock from Jason Mohammad, he hit everything that moved and was timing the ball beautifully.

Hafeez and Shehzad's selfish approach on a good wicket ended up costing us 20-25 runs.
 
Terrible team selection. Mind numbing selection and tactics really.

What the hell are the team management collecting pay checks for?
 
Well played Jason and Windies. They should also thank hafeez for his contribution to the windies win
 
There are plenty of folks deluding themselves about not needing to panic and how this is a one-off. Expect more pain

The loss tells more about Pakistan's poor cricket that we are losing to such mediocrity

This West Indies side is missing several key players who would Be part of it when ICC tournaments roll around

Don't assume that this is the best West Indies side

Which second coming of Tendulkar and Wasim were left out?

There's always a Bradman in Pakistani domestics that never seems to get picked.
 
Must have to say, one of the worst defeats; not taking any credit out of WI. And they won it with an over to spare. Couldn't see last few overs, but next time definitely will look at this Nurse guy.

Anyway, I thought it'll be 2-1 either side; probably PAK favourite, but they lost from winning position.

By the way, I guess, for whatever result in next 2 matches, don't think ranking table changes; or does WI overtakes PAK with 3-0?
 
Was catching the score up wow pak bowling getting trampled upon by WI tailenders eh. WI taking Wahab and Amir to the cleaners.

Poor Team selection doesn't mean leaving out some ATG players. Considering the opposition and how they play we could have gone with a different set of players. For eg no Wahab is a no brainer
 
Only 5 down on a belter and you barely manage 300 .
Poor captaincy from sarfraz . Terrible use of shadab khan .
Gutless selections from micky and sarfraz .
Just an excercise in pleasing the seniors.
Happy for the windies . They showed a lot of passion.

WI overtakes with 3-0
 
What just happened..we had this in the bag..oh well qualification to the WC coming up then..not surprised has an Ali git smashed to pieces..and people want ruman in the team..plz..their trundlers..disgraceful bowling from the pacers..let sarfi down but just like in England when we got smashed..
 
Shehzad and Akmal were Ok. Hafeez killed the momentum, spoiled Babar's and then Malik picked it up a bit. Pakistan were surely 20-30 runs short.

Sarfraz's panic mode spoiled the death overs. It was so infectious that it spread to his bowlers and fielders.
 
The WI boys hit so cleanly! I'm envious of their power hitting. When we try and power hit, it seems so unnatural and unorthodox some times

Qualification looms - yet more embarassment for the team that has records broken against them or breaks the worst kind of records.

We are unbelievably bad. Our seamers are pony. We leaked the best part of 10 an over for the last 15-16. Mohammed's knock was outstanding but our wayward, toothless, phast bowlers caused this when they returned. What Wahab is still doing in the team is beyond me. Amir is useless and as much as I like Ali, he's average - at best.

Where is this vaunted talent that Pakistan posseses. It's a myth.

Deluded fans, offering philosophical praise for the Windies - stupidly. We've just thrown away won game here.

Second string WI team actually
 
Perhaps before the ban.

He looks washed up and out of ideas. No guile or craft. Better than the others but that's about it.

There is no wicket taking threat and apart from when he burst back after ban, no josh either.

Pakistan are a poor - playing 90's style cricket 20 years later. It might have worked then but when we needed it we had talent (Waqar, Wasim, Shoaib, Saqi etc) - we have neither talent or industrious team players to account for lack of talent.

We are pathetic.
 
Only got time for Imad, Babar, Sarfraz (based on attitude more than ability although Babar and Shadab are somewhat encouraging prospects) - oh and Shadab, at least, deserves a chance.

The rest aren't fit to wear the shirt.

totally different behaviour of the side, complacency and laziness in the field. probably the most embarrassing loss I've ever seen, against a bunch of players languishing at the bottom of the tables, and with hardly any international games between ny of the players.

absolute disgrace.

amir, wahab, imad, Shehzad - what is the point? no development. after this tour, there has to be a compelling case to test the bench and send these guys back to try to find some motivation and fire.

Good match. But man, Holder should bat up the order. He's more talented than some of the guys above him, and often comes in when things are too late.
 
When you have you best batsman who scores consistently at no.3 spot why would you ruin that just because Hafeez is back. You can't expect to just shuffle the batting order all of a sudden. That was 1 of many mistakes by captain sarfi today.

Credit to West Indies nothing from them till 35 overs but then Jason Mohammed happened and played a blinder and then abit of remedy by nurse in the end.

They deserved to win. Our fielding was again shambolic and bowling was pathetic.

20 Extras given away!

I predicted a 2-1 win to pak. I don't know now...

They did have ATG Amir in the squad though , can't complain there :irfan
 
Even if we have Steyn in our bowling side we would still lose with our pathetic batting. Modern cricket relies on fast scoring batsmen scores of 300 plus are a norm. We are far behind the world. The only hope I see is if Sharjeel and Khalid Latif make a comeback by miracle the rest of our batsmen can't play modern cricket.
 
I see it as one off match. It's WI. if you lost, the 99% reason is because you made tactical error. Can't see happening again.
 
Rough game, but i think more than anything they were just completely caught off guard by Jason Mohammad. A lot of the players were fielding as if they had already won the game and that complacency is why I think we need Sarfraz to remain vocal and continue demanding full effort in the field.

Positives

1.Shadab Khan - Pick of the bowlers. 2/56 in what was actually an off match and he should only get better from here. Was getting way more turn than the other spinners as well.

2.Shoaib Malik - Continues his consistent run in ODI cricket. His stabilizing presence in the batting line up is key. Also looked better than Hafeez for most of his bowling spell.

Mixed Bag

3.Openers - Both openers got some runs, an encouraging sign, however there were still far too many dot balls. Akmal scoring a run-a-ball 47 was encouraging and hopefully he can get better as he regains confidence in the international arena. Shehzad though still hasn’t learned how to rotate the strike and isn’t a good enough boundary hitter to play as many dot balls as he does.

4.Hafeez - Solid all around performance in the end but I think the numbers are slightly misleading as his batting was initially shaky and his bowling was helped by some very defensive batting. He was also very lazy in the field and definitely cost Pakistan a few runs there.

5.Sarfraz Ahmed- Rough start to his ODI captaincy but its his first game and we should look to how he bounces back as a captain before jumping to any conclusions. The one glaring thing that he needs to work on though is balancing aggressive intent with a calm head. He was visibly frustrated with the fielders/bowlers at times and when Jason Holder started attacking,Sarfraz's panic spread to the rest of the team. On a smaller note, he looked a little sloppy in his wicketkeeping in his first game as captain. He’s obviously a completely different player, but Sarfraz should look at Dhoni as a template for how to combine aggressive intent with a calm presence as well as how to maintain focus as a wicketkeeper while also captaining the side. His agressiveness/intensity on the field is a very positive sign and if he can learn to control it a bit, I think he can turn into a good ODI captain.


Negatives

1.Wahab Riaz - Just way too inconsistent to be in any of the LOI squads right now. Was spraying the ball everywhere in his attempts for pace and does’t look a real threat right now with the ball.

2.Hasan Ali - Off game for the youngster. Hopefully he can bounce back well in the next ODI.

3.Mohammad Amir - He was the best of the three pacers which speaks to the terrible performance of all three in this game. He did pick up two wickets but was off with his line far too often. If he wants to be considered among the best bowlers in the world, he needs to perform and right now it’s just not clicking for him.

4.Imad Wasim - Probably introduced too late by Sarfraz but was ineffective while he bowled. Learning to spin the ball is clearly the next stage in his development and unless he learns to do it at least somewhat well, I think hell struggle to keep an ODI spot with Shadab’s emergence and Asghar also contending for a spot.

Oh dear how did westindies won this match? When i was watching windies were two down already by 37 or something then went to sleep though it was just a peice of cake for pakistan, but oh boy when wake up in the morning seeing the scorecard i am total shock that windies chased down that totat with such bating line up againt quality pakistani bowling. Good for westindies that their new talents are stepping out when majority of seniors are not there.
 
This means there could be an opportunity that Bangladesh could slip to no. 9 should they lose all their matches from here onwards :|
 
Just woke up and this!!!
1
Oh my my... Hafeez needs to be dumped man, so so many dot balls by him
 
Jason Mohammed is my new favourite player, congrats windies, posters were underestimating West Indies, this Pakistan bowling line up puts a shame to Wasim, Waqar, Akhtar etc. Concedes 400+ and can't defend 300 +
 
just watched the highlights wow that Jason Mohammed guy played like a beast!! every ball he hit went for sixes effortlessly!!
 
Man, some of you get carried away too quickly.

Pak just lost their 3rd match to the Windies across all formats in 13 games. Relax.

Pakistan batted better than I expected and as much as I don't want Hafeez around he played very well and in total they hit 8 6s, same as the Windies.

The biggest issue here was Sarfraz was too fragile as captian. Pak were cruising at one stageb ut Mohammad cameo ut and struck a couple of good boundaries. Ag ood captain says fair neough, bigs up his bowlers and tightens his field...Sarfraz started scremaing, waving his arms about, berating his fielders, his bowlers, forgetting where he was placing some of his fields...and then he forgot to ball his 2 most economical bowlersi n the latter stage of the game.

I'm still wondering why he went with Wahab's pace when it was obvious was easier to hit than Malik, Shadab and Hafeez. Was he expecting some non existent reverse swing?

Seriously, for all the hype this guy gets, Sarfraz isnt a good man manager, nor is he a good tactician and he can't keep a cool head, if the captain can't do that, the team will suffer.

other than that, there's nothing out of the oridinary about somewhat high scoring ODIs these days. Sarfraz needs to seriously up his game.

Exactly. He ended up with a sr of 90 or so. That's not a badi nnings at all.

I understand he gets a lot of hateo nline but sometimes you have to give credit where credit's due

He DOESN't gets hate man, who said that!

If he hadn't made those many dot bowls, we could've done way, better...same goes for Shahzad...and same's happening now
