That’s all from this nail-biting game, where the Windies stay alive in the series and push it to a thrilling finale. There’s barely any time to catch your breath, as the 3rd T20I between West Indies and Pakistan is just around the corner, less than 24 hours away, scheduled for 4th August, Monday, starting at 12 am GMT. Make sure to join us early for all the pre-match build-up and analysis. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Shai Hope, the victorious skipper of West Indies, says that hats off to the bowlers for setting up the game, as the pitch was a bit challenging. Adds that they know they had limited time to overcome the struggles, but the guys worked hard in the nets to improve. Mentions that they are known for the big hits, but singles were needed in the middle as the pitch was not there for strokeplay. Ends by saying that hopefully, they can learn from this bat well and seal the series in the next game.
Salman Agha, the captain of Pakistan, says that they did not bat well in the Powerplay and also did not finish well. Adds that they bowled and fielded well, and he is proud of his team. Mentions that defending such a low score, it was good to see the team put in a fight. Praises the spinners and reckons that they are ready for the Asia Cup, but there is always room for improvement. Ends by saying that the fans always support them around the worl,d and they are thankful to them.
Jason Holder is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his all-round brilliance. He says that he just wanted to take his team over the line. Adds that it has been a tough couple of weeks for the team, and they needed this victory. Mentions that he told Shepherd they needed at least four sixes in the last three overs, but they only got three. However, they managed to find the gaps, which helped them, but also credited the Pakistan bowlers for keeping things tight. Says that the Australia series gave them a lot of positives. Tells that they managed to pick up wickets at all phases of the game, which was pleasing to watch. Further adds that he loves playing for his country, but also admits that consistency is needed and a lot of work is still left to do. Ends by saying that they tried to create a difference, and hopefully they will be able to do that.
Presentation Time...
Pakistan can take plenty of pride from their bowling performance, but they’ll also feel the sting of disappointment after letting a winning position slip away. Their spinners were outstanding, sharing six wickets between them, with Mohammad Nawaz leading the charge. They had the Windies on the ropes, but a couple of costly overs from the pacers and some untimely extras swung the game out of their grasp.
Earlier in the game, after opting to bat first, Pakistan struggled to find any rhythm and could only manage a modest total. None of their batters really settled in, with the lone bright spot being a 60-run stand between skipper Salman Agha and Hasan Nawaz that offered some hope in an otherwise underwhelming effort. Jason Holder stole the show with the ball, delivering a brilliant four-wicket haul and surpassing Dwayne Bravo to become the leading wicket-taker for West Indies in T20Is. Gudakesh Motie chipped in with two crucial strikes, while Akeal Hosein, Shamar Joseph, and Roston Chase claimed one apiece to keep the visitors in check.
West Indies found it tough to get going in the Powerplay, losing both openers early. Shai Hope and Roston Chase offered some resistance, but their inability to stitch a partnership and persistent struggles against spin kept the pressure on as wickets continued to tumble. Just when things looked bleak, a quickfire cameo from Gudakesh Motie reignited their hopes, though the job was far from done. Romario Shepherd landed a few hefty blows to bring the equation down, and in the end, Jason Holder held his nerve, sealing the win with a boundary off the final ball.
Are you not entertained? A thrilling contest ends with the West Indies snapping their long T20I losing streak and setting up a series decider. While there were several valuable contributions, Jason Holder stood head and shoulders above the rest, making an impact first with the ball and then finishing things off with the bat. Spare a thought for Pakistan though, they fought tooth and nail to stretch this game to the very end despite having so little to defend.

Shaheen Afridi To Jason Holder
FOUR! HOLDER DOES IT FOR THE WINDIES! Who else? He has been the man for them in this game and fittingly hits the winning runs. Shaheen Afridi goes fuller and on middle, angling in without protection in the deep. Jason Holder steps inside the line of the ball and heaves it between square leg and mid-wicket for a boundary. He roars in delight, and the Windies players come running towards him. WEST INDIES WIN BY 2 WICKETS!

Shaheen Afridi To Jason Holder
We still play on! Super Over back in the equation again! Shaheen Afridi goes for the wide yorker but serves this way outside off. Jason Holder did move across early, but this is still a wide. Good call from the umpire, but Afridi is not happy with it. 3 needed in 1 ball now. Holder has another chance to be a hero.

Shaheen Afridi To Romario Shepherd OUT!
OUT! LBW! A huge moment in the game! Shaheen Afridi gets a wicket at a crucial time for Pakistan. He gets the yorker right, on middle, angling in a bit. Romario Shepherd is a bit late to get his bat down to clip it away but misses and gets hit on the pads. There is a huge shout for LBW, and the finger goes up. Shepherd is not happy, but the Windies have no reviews left. He goes back after a nice little cameo. Windies still need 7 runs in 4 balls.

Brave bowling! A well-directed bouncer, on off, Romario Shepherd looks to pull it away but misses. He is down on the ground and may have pulled a muscle trying to play that shot.

FOUR! A boundary now! The equation comes down to 8 off 8! Pitched up and outside off, Romario Shepherd moves across to get closer to the ball. He extends his arms and slices it hard. The fielder at deep point runs to his left but the ball bounces and skids past him for four runs.
