Â
Shadab Khan produced an outstanding debut
performance as Pakistan completed a comfortable six-wicket victory over the
West Indies in the first fixture of a four-match Twenty20 international series
at Kensington Oval in Barbados. Put in on a bright, breezy afternoon, the world
champion hosts were restricted to 8-111 from their allotted 20 overs with the
tourists knocking off the runs with almost three overs to spare to extend their
T20 winning streak over their rivals to four following a 3-0 sweep in the United
Arab Emirates last September.
       Best
economical pick & Smart pick - Shoaib Malik's unbeaten
38 and a 46-run fourth-wicket partnership with Babar Azam ensured
Pakistan reached their target with relative comfort although they will be again
concerned about the top order's inability to take control of a modest
challenge.
         Top
captains & vice captains -Â Brought on as the fifth bowler when the
West Indies batted in what looked like ideal conditions, 18-year-old Shadab
Khan's mesmerizing mixture of leg-breaks and googlies earned him figures
3-7, the most economical ever in the history of T20 international cricket by a
debutant in a complete four-over spell. West Indies only managed to get into
three figures thanks to an unbeaten 34 from Captain Carlos Brathwaite.
He dominated a 37-run eighth-wicket partnership with fellow-Barbadian Jason
Holder, who was dismissed off the last delivery of the innings.
       Cautions
Pick - Unlike the impressive showing by Pakistan's newcomer, Rovman
Powell failed to make any impact on his T20 international debut for
the West Indies. An all-rounder in the mould of fellow-Jamaican Andre Russell,
who is now serving a one-year suspension from the game, Powell was trapped
leg-before by medium-pacer Hasan Ali in the midst of the batting slide that
effectively killed off any chance of the home side being competitive.
