Chasing 138 to win their first match against Sarfraz Ahmed’s men in six outings, the Caribbean giants lost opener Chadwick Walton in the second over.
Sarfraz and the need for controlled aggression
However, his loss did not affect the run-chase as Lewis produced astonishing display of power-hitting as he scored 91 off just 51 balls to take his side home with more than five overs to spare.
The 25-year-old left-hander smashed nine sixes and five fours in his innings, as he single-handedly scored more than 65% runs of the team’s total of 138, and was deservedly nominated as the best player of the match.
For Pakistan, left-arm pacers Wahab Riaz, Sohail Tanvir and leg-spinner Shadab Khan claimed one wicket each.
Shadab Khan talks about his debut man-of-the match performance
Earlier, after opting to bat first, Pakistan managed to post 137 for the loss of eight wickets in their allotted 20 overs.
Opener Kamran Akmal finished the innings with the top score of 48 off 37 balls, whereas Babar Azam scored 43 off 38 balls.
For West Indies, leg-spinner Samuel Badree took two, whereas pacers Kesrick Williams, Carlos Brathwaite and off-spinners Sunil Narine, Marlon Samules claimed a wicket each.
Pakistan lead the four-match series 2-1, and the final match will be played on Sunday at the same venue.
