Pakistan won the Third Twenty20 by 13 runs to win the series 2-1 against West Indies. This result was always in doubt as Pakistan were beaten in Bangladesh and West Indies is a much stronger team than Bangladesh also West Indies are the two time Twenty20 World Champions winning the ICC Twenty20 World Cup in 2012 and 2016 respectively.
THis time Pakistan while batting made sure that they kept wickets in hand before going all out to hit it out in the death overs. This strategy worked as Pakistan put up a decent total of 189 runs on board. Sufiyan Muqeem and Haris Rauf were able to contain the West Indian batsmen and were the stars with the ball. I still think Hasan Ali is well past his prime and Shaheen Afridi should play regularly for Pakistan.
In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan slowly but surely are making a comeback in Twenty20 Internationals.
