Milestone
So that's goodbye from me, Anurag, and DG from the comm box. Do join us tomorrow for TNPL, Hundred, and the series decider between India and Sri Lanka in the evening. Good night and take care!!
Update, 11:32 IST, 2:02 PM(local time): It's still drizzling, the two umpires had a long chat with both the captains and decided to abandon the match without any single ball bowled in the second innings. So this makes the four-match T20 series into a three-match.
Update, 11:24 IST, 1:54 pm Local Time: So, if there's no play till 02:06pm (Local time), 11:36 (IST), it's a washout.
DG: For Pakistan, Hasan Ali was the pick of the bowlers, scalping 2 crucial wickets of Evin Lewis and Shimron Hetmyer. 85 may not be a winning total in a 9-over game, but the wicket is on the slower side and Pakistan might find it difficult to time the ball. Can Pakistan chase this down? Hope the rain stops and we can have the start of play again.
DG: Pakistan won the toss and elected to field first. The rain came just at the wrong time and the start of play was delayed. But the match was re-started after a long, long pause and it was shorten to a 9-over game. West Indies struggled to get going in the early stages of the match. The pitch was playing on a slower side and that really didn't help their cause. Lendl Simmons was struck by a bouncer as he attempted a pull shot and was taken out as a precautionary measure. West Indies in search of some quick runs lost wickets at regular intervals, and it was skipper Kieron Pollard who provided some late onslaught and helped his side to a challenging total of on the board.
DG: That's the end of the West Indies and they have done well to reach to a total of 85/5 at the completion of their 9 overs. Pakistan started off really well, but the hammering in the last over might just cost them in the end.

Shaheen Afridi
0-20(2.0)
Pollard lands this outside of the park into the wind. Here comes the rain and the groundsmen running with the covers.
8.6 S Afridi to K Pollard
6 SIX! What a sensational way to end the over. Afridi misses his line and Pollard connects with it. Afridi keeps it on the stumps. Just not the delivery to bowl at the death. Pollard clears his front leg an clobbers it with ferocious power and the ball sails way, way over the deep mid wicket fence.
8.5 S Afridi to K Pollard
2 Banged in short yet again. Pollard miscues the pull from the splice of the blade. The ball lands wide of the long on fielder and Pollard has ample time to collect a couple.
