Earlier, Pakistan posted 133/9 in their 20 overs. Hasan Nawaz top-scored with a quick-fire 40 off 23 balls, while captain Agha Salman contributed 38 off 33 balls. The West Indies bowlers, led by Jason Holder s impressive 4/19, restricted Pakistan s scoring and kept the pressure on throughout the innings.
This victory not only leveled the series but also demonstrated West Indies resilience and depth in both batting and bowling. The series decider is scheduled for Monday, August 4, at the same venue, promising an exciting conclusion to the T20I series.
West Indies ability to recover from a challenging position highlights their mental toughness and adaptability. Jason Holder s all-round performance underscores his importance to the team, while Motie s contribution emphasizes the value of lower-order partnerships in tight matches.
For Pakistan, the middle-order collapse and inability to capitalize on a strong start remain areas of concern. The upcoming decider will be crucial for both teams to assert dominance and gain momentum heading into the ODI series.
