Match 1: West Indies vs Pakistan - Windies Scorecard

West Indies: Scorecard cum Highlights
241/9 in 50 overs
Chris Gayle caught Akmal bowled Gul – 2 runs off 6 balls, Strike Rate: 33.33
Chanderpaul c Akmal b Ifthikar – 19 off 63, SR: 30.16
Sarwarn c Younis Khan b Ifthikar – 49 runs off 65 balls, Strike Rate: 75.38
Marlon Samuels c Malik b Hafeez – 63 off 70
( with 5 boundaries and 3 sixes, Samuel’s strike rate was 90%. He was the one who both steadied the West Indian ship and provided them momentum. He fell when the score was 181)
Brian Lara c Akmal b Hafeez – 37 off 56 balls
(He got out at exactly the right moment for Pakistan. If the Windies captain had been around for a couple of more overs, the score would have been well in excess of 250. Not that it mattered)
Bravo – 16 off 17
Ramdin failed, fell for 1
Smith was the one who gave the inning the much needed late momentum. His 32 off just 15 balls included 2 sixes and 3 boundaries
Taylor – run out for 1
Powell and Collymore not out, for 1 and 8 respectively
Rao Ifthikar finished with top honours for Pakistan, taking 3 wickets. Gul and Hafeez took 2 wickets each, while Kaneria took 1. Don't know why Inzamam didn't utilize Gul's full quota of 10 overs. Probably a calculation mistake - Gul's figures read 9-1-38-2.
