Till 17 overs, Pakistan bowlers looked in complete control before the gore from Bravo and Sammy happened at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium. 

Chris Gayle (5) finished not fire today as the first conveyance he confronted from Paksitan captain Mohammed Hafeez realized his destruction. Hafeez bowled one wide off-stump which Gayle attempted to play with negligible footwork and Kamran Akmal effected a great confusing. 

Gayle's accomplice Dwayne Smith struck two limits off Hafeez yet was uncomfortable against left-arm seamer Sohail Tanvir's ungracefully plotted conveyances. He edged one to Akmal behind stumps as the ball moved away in the wake of pitching on the off-center line.

Pakistan vs West Indies Live Cricket Score ICC World T20 2014 Group 2 Match 32 West Indies thrash Pakistan by 84 runs

Pakistan vs West Indies Live Cricket Score ICC World T20 2014 Group 2 Match 32 West Indies thrash Pakistan by 84 runs.Picking to bat first in what was successfully a quarter-last challenge, Bravo (46) and Sammy (42 not out) gave the late ambush as West Indies pillaged 59 runs in the last three overs to post a solid aggregate at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. 

Pakistan's pursuit got off to a ghastliness begin with paceman Krishmar Santokie hitting Ahmed Sehzad's toe with the first wad of the innings to trap the in-structure batsman leg in the recent past. Leg-spinner Badree (3-10) then assumed control, wrecking the opponents with a three-wicket blast and Pakistan couldn't recuperate after they had been diminished to 13 for four in the sixth over. Badree's twist associate Sunil Narine (3-16) then went through the top request to finish the defeat. The 19 runs Mohammad Hafeez scored was the most noteworthy singular score in the Pakistani breakdown. 

Prior, Pakistan chief Hafeez drew first blood by evacuating Chris Gayle (five), seemingly the most damaging batsman in 20-over cricket, to give his group an impeccable begin.

There is an inclination that the West Indies batsmen, especially the center and more level request, are more open to confronting pace than twist. It will be harder to smack Saeed Ajmal or Shahid Afridi for sixes than it was Mitchell Starc or James Faulkner. 

Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels — who has had a calm competition so far — will have indispensable parts in that respect. Runs will need to continue coursing through the center overs, with fours hit and the strike turned over. It is possible that that or Gayle will need to have a great day, in which case all different issues are overridden.

Possibly way, the pair has been a thistle in the substance of opponent batsmen. 

Pakistan will accordingly be enchanted with Ahmed Shehzad's hundred on Sunday, against Bangladesh however it may have come. On paper, at any rate, its batting aggregation looks more adjusted than the opponent's. 

Better NRR 

It may not come to matter yet West Indies has the better net run rate of the two sides and will experience in the occasion of a tie or a washout. Darren Sammy and his men are immensely determined to hold the trophy they won two years prior. Yet in Pakistan, it confronts a snag of some immensity. 

In the mean time, Bangladesh and Australia, groups as of now looking for their first win, will meet toward the evening in a session of zero result. The home side will need to provide for its loving fans something to cheer about while George Bailey will anticipate that a response will the embarrassing misfortune t
