Aliya’s grit in vain as West Indies edge Pakistan in low-scoring thriller

PAARL: All-rounder Aliya Riaz’s fighting 29-run knock went in vain as Hayley Matthews-led West Indies edged Pakistan by a mere three runs in the low-scoring thriller in the ongoing ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

Set to chase 117, Pakistan fell three runs short as the green shirts could amass 113/5 in the allotted overs despite Aliya’s fighting 29.

The green shirts were off to a dismal start to the run chase as the side lost both openers – Muneeba Ali and Sidra Ameen – for a mere 15 runs in the third over.

Following the slump, skipper Bismah Maroof and Nida Dar attempted to anchor the run chase with a crucial third-wicket partnership that saw the pair adding 44 runs.

The duo of Bismah and Dar, however, remained a touch too slow amid the crucial stand as they conceded 53 deliveries Afy Fletcher dismissed Dar, who could score 27 off 31 deliveries and hit a boundary.

Bismah then put on yet another crucial partnership for her side as she added 30 runs with Aliya before perishing in the 18th over after scoring 26 off 33 deliveries.

Skipper Bisma’s dismissal put Aliya under immense pressure, who had to bat with tailender Fatima Sana when the side needed 18 off the final over.

Aliya, however, kept Pakistan’s hopes alive with three boundaries in the over but her dismissal on the fifth delivery powered West Indies to run away with a narrow three-run triumph.

The right-handed batter top-scored for her side with 29 off 23 deliveries with the help of four boundaries.

West Indian skipper Matthews led the bowling attack of her side with 2/14 while Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack and Shamilia Connell struck out a batter each.

Opting to bat first, West Indies finished at 116/6 in 20 overs at the back of Rashada Williams’ 30.

The wicketkeeper batter remained the top-scorer for her side with 30 off 34 deliveries and smashed two boundaries.

Besides Williams, Shemaine Campbelle remained the other notable run-getter for her side with a 26-ball 22 while the rest of the West Indian batters failed to make a significant contribution.

Dar was the pick amongst the bowlers for Pakistan with two wickets, while Tuba Hassan, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal and Fatima could make one scalp each.

PCB, Cricket West Indies reschedule T20I series

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Cricket West Indies have agreed to postpone the three-match T20I series, which was due to take place in January 2023 in Pakistan, to the first quarter of 2024.

As per the latest development, the decision was made in light of the teams’ preparations for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, which will be held in the West Indies and the USA.

“The decision has been made considering 2024 is an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup year, with the event due to be hosted in the West Indies and the USA in June 2024, and the shortest format matches will, therefore, help both sides to prepare for the tournament,” the PCB stated.

The three-match T20I series in January 2023 is not part of the recently announced 2023-2027 ICC Future Tours Programme.

The West Indies played their ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League matches against Pakistan in Multan in May 2022, while the December 2021 series comprised three T20Is in Karachi.

‘My prime goal is to win two World Cups for Pakistan’ Babar Azam

KARACHI: Pakistan’s all-format skipper and the top-ranked white-ball batter Babar Azam expressed his prime goal of winning two World Cups for Pakistan in the next one-and-a-half years.

Babar, who has been in sublime form in white-ball cricket for more than a year and has dominated the rankings, stated that if he leads his team to World Cup glory, his runs will be worth a goal.

“No doubt I am enjoying my form. But with this form, my prime goal is to win the two World Cups for Pakistan in the next one-and-a-half years and if that happens I will feel that my runs are worth gold,” Babar stated.

The top-ranked ODI batter also noted that his team must continue to improve in order to establish themselves as a force in the 50-overs format, as well as to assure automatic qualification for next year’s event and a second 50-over World Cup victory.

“We still need to improve in certain areas,” Babar said following the clean sweep victory over the West Indies, which helped the Green Shirts surpass India in the ICC ODI Rankings.

“We still lose wickets in clusters in the middle which puts us on the back foot. Here the players need better concentration; it’s an area to work on. The fielding has improved, but our body language still deteriorates when a good partnership develops, and it’s another thing we can try and improve,” he maintained.

Pakistan captain further reviewed his side’s performance in the recently-concluded ODI series against the West Indies while also commenting on the bench strength of the side, claiming it gives him a lift.

“We tried a different bowling combination and they performed very well. It’s very satisfying as a captain to see that,” Babar stated.

“Bench strength always gives you a lift. Knowing you have players on the bench who are ready to use is good to know. We had Iftikhar [Ahmed], Abdullah Shafique and [Shahnawaz] Dahani on the bench,” he concluded.

West Indian squad leaves for the country after concluding Pakistan tour

ISLAMABAD: West Indies Men’s cricket team has left for the country from Islamabad International Airport after the conclusion of the three-match ODI series against Pakistan.

According to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) spokesperson, the touring team reached here in the morning by a special plane from Multan and then flew back from here.

The West Indian side, which reached Pakistan after whitewashing the Netherlands 3-0, suffered the opposite result in their away series against the Green Shirts as the home side blunted the Caribbeans by 3-0.

It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan grabbed the fourth position in the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup Super League following their whitewash series victory over the West Indies. The Green Shirts were standing at the 10th position before the home ODI series.

MULTAN: Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bat first against the West Indies in the third ODI, here on Sunday.

West Indies: Nicholas Pooran (c), Shai Hope (wk), Kyle Mayers, Shamarh Brooks, Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Keacy Carty, Akeal Hosein, Jayden Seales, Hayden Walsh, Keemo Paul

Babar Azam’s glove act costs 5-run penalty in second ODI against Windies

MULTAN: The second ODI between Pakistan and West Indies witnessed an enthralling moment when the national team skipper was found guilty of putting on a wicket-keeping glove while fielding, costing his side five penalty runs in the game.

The interesting incident happened in the 29th over of the game when left-arm spinner Muhammad Nawaz was bowling to West Indian Alzarri Joseph, who guided the ball onto the leg-side while the skipper received the throw wearing a single wicket-keeping glove.

As per the law, “No fielder other than the wicket-keeper shall be permitted to wear gloves or external leg guards. Further, the law mentions that if a fielder illegally fields the ball, umpires shall award five runs to the batting side.

Babar Azam received the penalty with an apologetic smile and shaking his head, a minor irritant to his otherwise joyful day as he made 77 runs with the bat in the first inning while his side completely dominated the West Indies in the field.

The touring side was bowled out on 155 runs while chasing a 276-runs target resulting in a 120 runs victory by Pakistan in the second ODI. The home side has an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.

Look at the records tumble during Pakistan-West Indies second ODI

MULTAN: Pakistan cricket team set numerous records following their victory over the West Indies in the second ODI, here on Friday.

Pakistan’s triumph over the West Indies in the second ODI helped the Green Shirts to maintain their superior record over the latter in ODI cricket as Pakistan have now won 10 consecutive series against the Caribbeans; winning the last ODI series in 1992.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam and the left-handed batter – who are in sublime form in the ODIs have marked themselves again into the record’s book as the two batters have joined Pakistan’s Mohammad Yousuf and eight batters to score six consecutive half-centuries just after the legendary batter Javed Miandad, who scored a record nine fifties.

Babar, who enjoyed a successful Australia tour carried on his wonderful in the home ODI series against the West Indies as the right-handed batter has scored nine consecutive half-centuries across all formats which is the longest streak of fifty-plus scores for any batter in men’s international cricket.

Babar and Imam as a pair too were impressive as the dynamic duo of Pakistan equalled the record of legendary batters Inzamam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Yousuf for the second-most century-plus partnerships for Pakistan in ODIs with eight stands. The pair of Younis Khan and Yousuf, however, led the way with the nine century-plus partnerships for Pakistan in ODIs.

Pakistan’s hero with the ball against the West Indies in the recently-concluded second ODI Mohammad Nawaz became just the second Pakistan bowler after Mohammad Hafeez to concede less than 20 runs in an ODI after 10 overs. Hafeez conceded 15 runs and took two wickets against Bangladesh in 2011, while Nawaz claimed four wickets for 19 runs.

It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan defeated West Indies by a massive margin of 120 runs following brilliant half-centuries of Babar and Imam before Nawaz shone with the ball with his career-best bowling figures of 4-19.

Bowlers shine as Pakistan thump Windies to take an unassailable 2-0 lead

MULTAN: Pakistan bowlers displayed brilliance after the fifties from the captain Babar Azam and the left-handed opener Imam-ul-Haq to propel their side to seal a massive victory over West Indies in the second ODI and lead the three-match series 2-0.

Set to chase a commendable 276, the West Indian batting line-up failed and could only score 155 before being bowled out in the 33rd over.

The side were off to a flying start despite losing their last match centurion Shai Hope in the first over as Kyle Mayers and Shamarh Brooks carried the run chase alive as they both ticked the scoreboard at a rapid pace.

The pair appeared solid and almost took the game away from Pakistan before 10 overs as they were scoring at more than six runs per over.

Pakistan captain Babar’s tactics worked for him as his idea of introducing the young pacer Mohammad Wasim Jr proved out to be fruitful as the latter removed the dangerous Mayers in the 10th over. Mayers scored a quick 33 off just 25 deliveries with the help of four boundaries and two sixes.

Following his departure, the touring side proceeded to lose wickets at an alarming rate, falling from 71-1 to 120-7 in a matter of a few overs as their captain Nicholas Pooran also made his way back after scoring 25.

The tailenders then attempted to retaliate but they too could not survive for long against the strong Pakistan bowling attack and the West Indies, in the end, were bowled for a mere 155 runs; handing a massive 120-run victory to Pakistan.

For Pakistan, Nawaz was the pick of the bowlers with his career-best bowling figures as he claimed four wickets for a mere 19 runs, while Wasim Jr and Shadab Khan claimed three and two wickets respectively. Shaheen Shah Afridi, on the other hand, made one scalp.

Pakistan, after opting to bat first, had to fight hard to put a commendable total of 275-8 in the allotted 50 overs as the touring side’s bowlers displayed brilliance.

Coming out to bat, Pakistan openers again failed to provide a solid start to the side as Fakhar Zaman departed early in the seventh over after mistiming the pull short. He made 17 runs off 28 balls and smashed three boundaries.

Following his dismissal, the skipper Babar Azam and the left-handed opener Imam-ul-Haq again anchored the innings with their overall fourth century-plus stand in ODI cricket.

The pair appeared firm as both scored the fifties and were eyeing their respective centuries before Imam lost his wicket after a mix-up. He scored a run-a-ball 72 with the help of six boundaries.

Following Imam’s dismissal, Babar put on a brief partnership with Mohammad Rizwan. The pair, however, could only add 42 runs for the third wicket as Babar fell against West Indies’ hero with the ball – Akeal Hosein. The right-handed batter top-scored for the side with 77 off 93 balls, laced with five boundaries and a six.

The Green Shirts began to lose wickets at an alarming rate as Rizwan, Mohammad Haris, and Mohammad Nawaz departed in just four overs.

With the side struggling at 207-6 in the 40th over, gritty cameos from Shadab Khan and Khushdil Shah avoided the wickets spree; scoring 22 each.

The right-arm pacer Mohammad Wasim Jr and Shaheen Shah Afridi then also added valuable runs in the death overs and boosted the home side’s total to 275-8 in the allotted 50 overs.

Wasim remained unbeaten with his quick 17 off just 13 deliveries, while Shaheen scored 15 not-out on a mere six balls.

For the West Indies, Hosein led the way with three wickets, while Alzarri Joseph and Anderson Phillip bagged two wickets each.
