Pakistan ended up winning the 2nd T20I against West Indies narrowly by a margin of just 7 runs, despite falling short of at par total in their first innings. Initially, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were going great against the West Indies bowling line-up but due to a small rain interruption they totally lost the momentum and ended up being collapsed from 134/2 (16 overs) to 157/8 at the end of 1st innings.
West Indies started off the chase on a very slow note and thus a lot was left for them in the end overs to chase which meant they ended up falling short of target despite a terrific knock from Nicholas Pooran. Mohammad Hafeez was most impressive for Pakistan with a bowling figure off 4-1-6-1.
