Pakistan wins 2nd ODI against West Indies by 11 Runs - and wins series 2-0

Pakistan's players rejoice wicket by Sohail Tanvir

It was a great day for Pakistan at  Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, St Vincent when it beat the hosts West Indies by 11 runs in the second T20I and the last match before the visitors return home having won both the ODI and T20I series with extraordinary performance.

The victory in the second T20I brings Pakistan No. 2 - behind Sri Lanka - in the ICC rankings for T20I teams.

The outstanding perofrmance was mainly attributed to Pakistan's bowlers who restricted the hosts in all matches in achieving given targets.

Although in the second at Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, St Vincent, Pakistan which won the toss and elected to bat was restricted to mere 135 for seven in 20 overs by the West Indian bowlers, specially Narine (3/26) and Badree (2/16), the hosts found it difficult to achieve the target in the face of superb bowling by the visitors.



Saeed Ajmal, Sohail Tanvir and débutante Zulfiquar Babar each bagged 2 wickets and made the hosts pack for mere 129/9 - 11 runs short of the target.

Umer Akmal was declared player of the match for 46 not out

Umar Akmal (Pakistan) was declared as the player of the match, while Zulfiqar Babar (Pakistan) was declared the player of the series.

While triumphant Pakistan return home, for West Indies, it was a disappointing home season. They beat Zimbabwe a few months ago, but did not make the tri-series final (India and Sri Lanka did) and then suffered two series defeats against Pakistan.
