Pakistan vs West Indies, Highlights 2nd T20I: Pakistan Thrash Windies By 82 Runs To Win Series

Pakistan won the three-match T20 series in style as they beat West Indies by 82 runs in the second match in Karachi on Monday. West Indies were bowled out for 123 runs in their chase of 206 runs target set by Pakistan. The hosts were rampant in the batting and bowling departments as they outclassed the Windies team to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match series. Barring Chadwick Walton, no other visiting batsman crossed the 25-run mark in their chase. Mohammad Amir was the star bowler for the hosts as he ended with figures of 3/22 in his four overs. Shadab Khan (2/23) and Hussain Talat (2/12) took two wickets each to ensure the Windies were bundled out for 123 runs in 19.2 overs. (SCORECARD)

Earlier, Pakistan posted a formidable total of 205/3 in 20 overs in the second T20I against West Indies on Monday. Riding on stellar half-centuries by Babar Azam and Hussain Talat (63), Pakistan ensured they continued their good form after losing Fakhar Zaman (6) early in the second over itself. Babar scored his highest T20I score after remaining unbeaten on 97 runs. He hit 13 fours and one six in his unbeaten knock. Talat was also in fantastic form as he hit his maiden T20I fifty in only 32 balls. Azam, on the other hand, kept on hitting fine boundaries to keep the scoreboard ticking. Talat hit boundaries all over the park but was unlucky to get out courtesy a brilliant catch by Windies skipper Jason Mohammed off Odean Smith's delivery in the 14th over. The next batsman was Asif Ali who continued his fine form from the Pakistan Super League. Samuel Badree dropped Babar in the 16th over on 78 runs. It was an easy catch but the Windies player spilled it over. However, Ali's catch was taken in the 17th over. Asif played a cameo scoring 14 runs off 8 balls hitting one four and a six.
