West Indies and Pakistan engaged in two thrilling Twenty20 Internationals at the Arnos Vale Sports Complex last weekend.
In the first on Saturday, the match was decided off the final ball when 34-year-old debutant Zulfiqar Babar smashed a six off Marlon Samuels when Pakistan required one run to overhaul a target of 153.
The second match the following day wasn’t as tense, but West Indies had a chance when they needed 13 off the last three balls.
Pakistan held their nerve to win by 11 runs to complete a clean sweep of the two-match series.
The two defeats for the West Indies saw the World Twenty20 champions slip from No. 2 to No. 3 in the ICC rankings while Pakistan replaced them in the No. 2 position.
