That ends the first game. Got a train to catch. The Windies cannot even give that excuse. Two more matches to go, at the same venue, without even a day's break. Are we in for a forgettable series? Hopefully not. Join us at 1930 local (1430 GMT) for the second T20I on Monday, 2nd April, 2018. Before we take your leave, we request you to go through the other international games happening around the globe - NZ vs Eng and SA vs Aus. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
Victorious Pakistan skipper, SARFRAZ AHMED, thanks the almighty and says that Pakistan played very good tonight. Credits Fakhar Zaman for providing a good start and then Hussain Talat and Shoaib Malik for their displays. On the performance, Sarfraz says that his message to the team was not to relax, not to take the opposition lightly and only focus on their own performance. Is excited about the young guys in the team and is looking forward to see more debutants in the remaining matches.
Windies captain, JASON MOHAMMED, feels that it was going on nicely till the last 2 overs with the ball and blames the batting totally. Puts it on bad execution of shots. For the next match, he says that one has to stay positive as a team and look to do better in the second game. Thanks the crowd for the warm reception.
HUSSAIN TALAT has been named the MAN OF THE MATCH. Credits the people for supporting him and believing that he belongs in the Pakistan unit. Stresses that he has been wishing for a long time to play for the national side. Says that he was not nervous at all and just trusted his skills.
NAJAM SETHI, PCB chief, thanks the Karachites for coming in large numbers for the game. States that it has provided the board and the team a big boost. Credits Wasim Akhtar for working day and night to get the stadium ready.
They are still getting the stage ready for the presentation. Bet no one would have expected the game to finish so early...
MOHAMMAD AMIR is giving an interview. He says that his role with the new ball is to take wickets. Add that by doing this, the opposition gets under pressure and that is what happened tonight. Further says that the wicket was very good for batting, which is why 200 were made in the first place. But under lights, if one pitches the ball up to the batsman, then he gets spongy bounce which is why Pakistan got so many wickets. On the confidence in the team, he says from the New Zealand tour, the group is gelling well as a unit. Thanks the crowd for supporting them in large numbers and feels privileged to be playing his first international game in Karachi.
Well bowled, Pakistan but tell us the truth. Didn't you feel like a net session with the ball? Or a slightly better feeling than a warm-up match. Because you were bowling against an opposition that did not turn up at all. Mohammad Amir started it with a double-wicket opening over and everyone except Faheem Ashraf got something in the wickets' column.
What to describe in this innings? Probably the fall of wickets will be self-explanatory. 6/1, 8/2, 8/3, 15/4, 27/5, 33/6 ... oh stop it. Just too average to be mentioned. No one stepped up. Way too many soft dismissals with only 3 batsmen reaching double figures. 4 ducks in the innings as well. Ouch.
Demolition. Winning by more than half the runs of one's own score and keeping 38 balls in the bank is tremendous. Absolute mockery of a contest, with the Windies registering their lowest T20I score.

Hussain Talat To Samuel Badree OUT!
OUT! That is the end of the match. A short ball outside off, Badree looks to pull but gets a top edge which goes high in the air. Shoaib Malik runs back from mid-wicket and takes a good catch. Permaul is absent hurt, so PAKISTAN GO 1-0 UP WITH A 143-RUN WIN.

SIX! Good shot. Full and outside off, Badree comes forward and whips it wide of long on for a biggie!

Shoaib Malik To Samuel Badree
Full and outside off, Badree comes down the track and looks to flick but misses. The ball goes off his pads past the leg stump towards leg slip.

Shoaib Malik To Samuel Badree
Quicker and shorter, outside off, punched to the off side. No hat-trick then.
Rinse. Repeat. One goes in, then goes out. Who comes in now? Everyone is waiting for the new man. The Pakistan players are looking in the direction of the Windies dugout. No one is coming! Aaahhh... someone does come. Samuel Badree. Hat-trick on the cards? He is technically the last man in as Veerasammy Permaul will not bat.

Shoaib Malik To Kesrick Williams OUT!
OUT! What is in a name? Definitely the saying is worth gold if it reads 0 in front of the name. Williams has come in, taken a good 2-3 minutes to take his guard, mark that and then do some rituals, before going for a big booming drive and edging it to first slip. Thanks for coming.
Who is next? Kesrick Williams.

Shoaib Malik To Rayad Emrit OUT!
OUT! Given. Not convinced though, am I. But who am I to judge? Full and on off, Emrit swings this towards deep mid-wicket. Hussain Talat waits for the ball to come to him and then takes the catch. After that, he looks back like a guilty person who has done something wrong. Has he touched the rope? Hasan Ali running towards him from squarish mid-wicket signals it is out. The umpires are not sure and refer it upstairs. Replays seem to indicate that his back foot is touching the ropes. But the third umpire just sees two replays and flashes OUT on the giant screen.
Out? Or a six? Hasan Ali signals it is out. But the man who has taken the catch, Hussain Talat, is looking very sheepish. Referred upstairs...
