Pakistan wins the ODI series opener

When others got a start but failed to capitalise, it was a brave effort from D. Bravo who scored 67 off 109 balls to take West Indies to a respectable total of 221. But the efforts fell short as Pakistan easily scored the target in 41.3 overs.

For Pakistan it was M Hafeez and A Shehzad who opened the innings and scored 54 and 22 respectively. Just after the fall of openers' wickets, Pakistani batsmen Shafiq and Misbah-Ul-Haq stood firm on the crease to take Pakistan to victory. Shafiq stood unbeaten on 61 and Misbah on 73. It was Bishoo who could manage to claim two wickets of Pakistani openers. Rest of the bowlers were mere spectators.
