Kesrick Williams to Babar Azam. Slower ball half volley, off stump on the front foot Slog, inside edge to deep backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Paul. Azam falls agonisingly short of his maiden T20I century as he finishes unbeaten on 97. What an innings we have seen from him as he scored 14 boundaries using sheer timing and placement throughout to help his team along to a massive 205-3 from their 20 overs. It's Pakistan's highest ever T20I total and it has come in completely deserving fashion as Azam and Talat both put in extraordinary innings to boost this total past the 200 mark. West Indies struggled with the ball and once again struggled in the field also, they never looked threatening and will need to put in a much better performance tonight with the bat. It was unfortunately poor all round from them and there aren't many positives to be mentioned.
Kesrick Williams to Babar Azam. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, to point for no runs, fielded by Mohammed.

SIX! Keemo Paul to Shoaib Malik. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Six for Malik as he picks up the half-volley and sends it sailing over the ropes at long-on. Pakistan are finding the ropes with ease in these final few overs and are now only six short of 200.
Keemo Paul to Shoaib Malik. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Ramdin.
Keemo Paul to Babar Azam. Full toss, off stump on the front foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Walton.
FOUR! Keemo Paul to Babar Azam. Yorker, off stump on the front foot Steer, well timed in the air under control past third man for 4 runs. It's four more for Azam as he digs out a yorker beautifully and guides it through wide third-man for his 13th boundary, not too far from his century now, his highest T20I score to date in fact.
FOUR! Rayad Emrit to Shoaib Malik. Short, outside off stump backing away cutting, well timed in the air under control past third man for 4 runs. That's beautiful from Malik as he steps away from the stumps and chops the short ball down to third-man for four. A big over for Pakistan with 16 coming from it.
Rayad Emrit to Babar Azam. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed to point for 1 run, fielded by Mohammed.

FOUR! Rayad Emrit to Shoaib Malik. Short, outside off stump on the back foot working, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs. Short from Emrit but it doesn't get up and Malik works it away to wide fine-leg perfectly and is rewarded with his first boundary.
APPEAL! Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Rayad Emrit to Babar Azam. Half volley, middle stump on the front foot flick, hit pad to slips for 1 run, appeal made for L.B.W.
OUT! Caught. Kesrick Williams to Asif Ali. Slower ball back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Walton. Ali goes as Pakistan lose their third wicket on the final ball of the 17th over. It was a well hidden slower ball from Williams and Ali misjudged it, launching the ball aerially and into the hands of Walton who came in from deep mid-wicket. Pakistan could well go past 200 again today.

Kesrick Williams to Babar Azam. Full toss, down leg side on the front foot flick, top edge in the air uncontrolled to fine leg for 1 run, dropped catch by Badree, fielded by Paul. Azam is dropped the next ball! It's a low full-toss from Williams and Azam attempted to flick the ball away for four. Instead he got the top edge and it looped into the air and towards Badree, it was a simple chance but Badree has shelled it as the West Indian fielding woes continue.
SIX! Kesrick Williams to Babar Azam. Half volley, off stump on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Azam is looking unstoppable at the moment and he gets his first maximum of his innings as he picks up the off-stump half-volley and launches it over mid-wicket with ease. Pakistan keep going here.
Odean Smith to Babar Azam. Beamer, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Fletcher. A horrible ball from Smith which is way over waist-height on the full to Azam but the umpire doesn't call it a no-ball and that is the end of his spell.
Odean Smith to Asif Ali. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, in the air under control to deep cover for 1 run, fielded by Walton.
SIX! Odean Smith to Asif Ali. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Ali gets six as he rocks back and clobbers Smith's shorter ball over the ropes at mid-wicket. He got underneath it a little but there was enough power in that to take it plenty over the ropes.
Odean Smith to Babar Azam. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed to long on for 1 run, fielded by Powell.
Odean Smith to Babar Azam. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Fletcher.
OUT! Caught. Hussain Talat to Odean Smith. Slower ball half volley, to leg on the front foot pushing, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Nawaz. Pakistan wrap up another convincing victory as they beat the West Indies by 82 runs and wrap up this three game series, 2-0 up after the first two. Talat gets the final wicket as the slower ball was mis-read from Smith who chipped the ball into the hands of mid-off. Another poor batting performance from West Indies leaves them 123 all out, only Walton impressed with a 29 ball 40. Pakistan had to work a little harder for their wickets tonight but they did just that, once again sharing the wickets between them with Amir taking three from his four overs. Pakistan were brilliant in the first innings and their bowlers worked well as a unit to wrap it up in the second. West Indies will be disappointed once again, perhaps we might get to see a couple of debutants from either side tomorrow evening with the series' fate already decided. West Indies need to regroup and look at how they play when missing some big names, the strength in depth is clearly lacking as the side looked to lack any ferocity. Pakistan win their seventh straight T20I.
Hussain Talat to Samuel Badree. Half volley, middle stump on the front foot working, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Malik.
FOUR! Hasan Ali to Odean Smith. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. What a stroke from the debutant to finish the over as he drives the ball on the up wide of mid-off. He middled that one and it flew to the ropes.
Hasan Ali to Odean Smith. Length ball, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Ahmed.
Hasan Ali to Odean Smith. Half volley, middle stump on the front foot pushing, to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Ashraf.

Hasan Ali to Samuel Badree. Short, outside off stump on the back foot defending, to short extra cover for 1 run, fielded by Azam.
OUT! Bowled. Hasan Ali to Kesrick Williams. In-swinging length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, missed. An absolute beauty from Ali as the ball comes in and removes Williams' middle stump from the ground as he played all around the ball. That was a delightful delivery as West Indies lose their fourth wicket in seven deliveries.
Mohammad Amir to Kesrick Williams. Yorker, off stump on the front foot pushing, to extra cover for 1 run, shy attempt by Nawaz.
OUT! Run Out. Mohammad Amir to Rayad Emrit. Length ball, to leg on the back foot Steer, well timed to third man for 1 run, fielded by Ahmed, by Ashraf. Two batters at the crease who hadn't faced a ball unfortunately resulted in carnage as the two miscommunicated about taking a second run and it left both batsman at one end. Sarfraz collected the throw and takes the ball down to the non-strikers end to whip off the bails, what a mix-up.
OUT! Caught. Mohammad Amir to Keemo Paul. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, thick edge in the air uncontrolled to third man, by Ashraf. Amir has his second of the over and his third in eight deliveries as he hung the ball outside the off stump and Paul attempted to launch the ball. Instead he got a thick edge that carried the ball down to third-man, Ashraf taking a good catch coming in off the ropes.
FOUR! Mohammad Amir to Keemo Paul. Half volley, middle stump backing away driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Four more for Paul as once again he backs away and slaps the ball through the covers. He's doing well here as he racks up a few runs in the lower order.
Mohammad Amir to Keemo Paul. Length ball, down leg side on the front foot flick, in the air under control to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Ali.
OUT! Caught. Mohammad Amir to Rovman Powell. Length ball, to leg on the front foot driving, leading edge in the air uncontrolled to cover, by Azam. Powell departs as Amir takes his second of the innings. Powell tried to play it into the leg side but a thick edge took the ball upwards and Azam took a simple catch at cover.
Hasan Ali to Rovman Powell. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot working, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Khan.
Hasan Ali to Keemo Paul. Full toss, down leg side on the front foot pulling, to fine leg for 1 run, fielded by Amir.

Hasan Ali to Keemo Paul. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to deep cover for 1 run, fielded by Zaman.
FOUR! Hasan Ali to Keemo Paul. Back of a length, off stump backing away cutting, well timed past long off for 4 runs. Back-to-back boundaries for Paul who creates some space for himself before slapping the ball through extra cover. The man at mid-off couldn't quite stop it after etting a hand on it and it's four runs.
FOUR! Hasan Ali to Keemo Paul. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep square leg for 4 runs. Short and fast from Ali but Paul is equal to it, swivelling before pulling the ball well to the square-leg boundary.
Mohammad Amir to Keemo Paul. Length ball, to leg on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on for 1 run, fielded by Malik. Paul mis-times a shot down to long-on from the final ball of the over. Malik down by the ropes seemed to make half an effort in getting to the ball, he probably could have taken the catch there.
Mohammad Amir to Keemo Paul. Yorker, off stump on the front foot pushing, to cover for no runs, fielded by Azam.
Mohammad Amir to Keemo Paul. Length ball, to leg on the front foot defending, to silly mid on for no runs, fielded by Amir.
OUT! Bowled. Mohammad Amir to Jason Mohammed. Yorker, off stump on the front foot pushing, missed. Amir gets his first wicket of the evening as he bowls a beautiful off-stump yorker and Mohammed can only play all around it. Windies lose their fifth wicket as Pakistan's well disciplined bowling performance earns them another scalp.
Mohammad Amir to Rovman Powell. Length ball, to leg on the front foot pushing, to extra cover for 1 run, fielded by Azam.
Mohammad Amir to Jason Mohammed. Slower length ball, down leg side on the front foot working, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Ali.
OUT! Caught. Hussain Talat to Denesh Ramdin. Slower ball short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Ali. Talat finishes the over with the wicket of Ramdin, a well disguised slower ball out-foxes the batsman and he pulls the ball to deep mid-wicket. Ali takes a simple catch and Pakistan wipe away any dying hopes West Indies have of victory.
Hussain Talat to Jason Mohammed. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to deep cover for 1 run, fielded by Zaman.
Wide Hussain Talat to Jason Mohammed. Slower ball short, off stump on the back foot pulling, Play and Miss (Leg Side) to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Ahmed.
