Highlights, West Indies vs Pakistan, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Match, Full cricket score: Windies thump Sarfaraz Ahmed and Co by 7 wickets

And that brings us to the end of the second match of World Cup 2019, with West Indies trouncing Pakistan by seven wickets in a match that witnessed a little over 35 overs being bowled. The West Indies attack were brutal in their barrage of short deliveries, but the Pakistani batsmen did not help their case either with the kind of shots that they played. Plenty of positives for Jason Holder’s side. For Pakistan, still a lot of time in their hands to bounce back from this disastrous outing.

Sarfaraz Ahmed, Pakistan captain: If you lose toss in these conditions you will lose so many wickets early, it’s always tough to come back into the game. It was tricky for half an hour, but this was a good batting track, we didn’t bat well. I think we have to play positive cricket, didn’t do well today but hopefully we’ll bounce back. We know they have pace bowlers who will come hard at us, but we didn’t play the short ball well. It was a bad day for us; I’m very confident my team will bounce back. It was good to see Mohammad Amir bowling well. We always get a lot of support in England, a big thank you to them. Want them to carry on.

Jason Holder, West Indies captain: We got off to a really good start. (Russell) He’s an impact player and you all can see what he can do with the ball and bat. We were always in the game. In the past, we let teams get back, but credit to the boys the way they stuck to their task today. The kind of guy he (Russell) is, he will give his 100 percent every single time. It’s good to have a young quick (Thomas). With such high totals, we need wickets. Chris started off tremendously. We wanted to start with a win, and very, very happy. We don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves. As I said, I don’t have any expectations.

And that’s the end of that. My journey to the ground was longer than the Pakistan innings today. Pakistan with a lot of questions to answer after that match regarding approach, team selection and morale. They looked like a team who were disinterested and already out of the tournament. If you are a West Indies fan, enjoy the ride that is West Indies cricket as this team could surprise many who gave them no chance of reaching the semi-finals

After 12 overs,West Indies 91/3 ( Nicholas Pooran 24 , Shimron Hetmyer 1)

Pooran collects a single at the start of the over. Hetmyer then survives a dismissal scare when he mis-hits the ball towards deep square leg, where Imam puts in a dive but fails to grab the tough chance. Pooran collects his third boundary next ball, edging the ball over the slip cordon. He then follows it up with a lofted shot down the ground, clearing the long on fence. Hafeez gets close to the ball at deep square leg after Pooran slaps the ball in that direction, putting it down in the end. 14 off the over, with Windies needing just 15 more to collect their first points of the tournament.

Pakistani fans trying their best to lift their team, but there are a lot of hands in pockets, heads bowed, shoulders drooped and head-shaking out there. Does this team look like a team that could make the semi-finals? The answer would have to be no. On the other hand the West Indies look like a team that opponents will be fearing because on their good days they are a force

After 11 overs,West Indies 77/3 ( Nicholas Pooran 11 , Shimron Hetmyer 0)

Gayle brings up his half-century with a single off the second delivery, with Pooran slashing the ball through point off the next delivery. Gayle’s stay at the crease, however, comes to an end when he slashes the ball high in the air, offering Shadab a simple catch at backward point to depart for exactly 50. Hetmyer walks out to the crease next. Six off the over. Excellent spell from Amir so far.

After 10 overs,West Indies 71/2 ( Chris Gayle 49 , Nicholas Pooran 6)

Wahab bowls with the same field as his first over, with a third man and deep square leg in place. Gayle, though picks his spots around the ground to collect a six and two fours off the first three deliveries of the over. However, he’s appears to be in a state of discomfort, his back appearing to be the reason behind it. 15 runs collected off the over. Windies are charging towards the target at more than seven-an-over at the end of the first Powerplay.

A positive for Pakistan on what has been a gloomy day for them. This is the first time Mohammad Amir has taken 2 or more wickets in a ODI since the Champions Trophy final on 18 June 2017. Amir running in hard, bowling with good shape and looking like the bowler back in 2017 at the Champions Trophy. Pakistan fans 8/10 so far today, the Pakistan team 1/10

After 7 overs,West Indies 48/2 ( Chris Gayle 33 , Nicholas Pooran 1)

Bravo departs for a four-ball duck after edging a back-of-length delivery to Babar at second slip, leading to the Windies losing their 2nd wicket with less than fifty on board. Pooran walks out to bat at 4, and collects a single off his first delivery. Couple of hiccups for Windies so far, but they’re still expected to chase this down without much effort.
