Brilliant bowling performance from young Hasan Ali and responsible batting from opener Ahmad Shahzad helped Pakistan beat West Indies by seven wickets in the fourth T20I at Queen's Park Oval on Sunday.

With the victory, the Men-in-Green also sealed the four-match series with 3-1 margin.

5 talking points from second Pakistan-Windies T20I


After winning the toss, captain Sarfraz Ahmed opted to field first, and his decision paid dividend as bowlers led by young Hasan restricted hosts to just 124 for the loss of eight wickets in their allotted 20 overs.

The Peshawar Zalmi-pacer claimed two wickets and just gave away 12 runs in his four overs, and he was well supported by leg-spinner Shadab Khan, who was once again amongst the wickets and finished his four overs with the figures of two for 16.

Sarfraz and the need for controlled aggression


For West Indies, opener Chadwick Walton finished the innings with the top score of 40 off 31 balls, which included two fours and four sixes.

Chasing 125 to seal the series, the visitors never looked in any sort of trouble and comfortably reached the target with one over to spare.

Shahzad finished the innings with the top score of 53 off 45, which included six fours and one six, and he was well supported by Babar Azam, who scored 38 off 36.

For hosts, Kesrick Williams picked two, whereas part-time off-spinner Marlon Samuels claimed one wicket.
