We'll be back soon with the chase, which should be exciting since this is a big total and West Indies are missing Akeal Hosein. However, they have the exciting bowler Gudakesh Motie on debut, let's see what he can do today. But in case you missed it, this will be the final innings of the tour because the Pakistan v West Indies ODI series has been postponed to June 2022. Here are the deets. See you on the other side.

7.45pm Just 13 runs off the last two, and that means West Indies have not been able to finish strongly despite having seven wickets in hand. Pakistan don't seem too worried with this total - the bowlers are all smiles while walking out.

Despite the smiles on the Pakistan faces, chasing a total of 200+ is never easy. King set the tone in the powerplay. Brooks thumped 49. Pooran entertained with his highest T20I score, and West Indies could've made 220+ if the final flourish was stronger. A forgettable outing for the Pakistan bowlers, except for Dahani, who finished with an economy of under 6.

Dahani: "You know West Indies are a dangerous side and they have powerhitters like Bravo, King and Pooran. My target was to not get hit. Captain trusted me. Whenever they called me, I gave my 100%. I got hit for a four, bit sad for that. I like to play with a smile. Domestic cricket is a different scenario, and the pressure of internationals is different. The roar the crowd gives makes you want to perform even more than 100%. But bottom line, I want to give my 100% while keeping a smile every game I play."

Imran Khalid: "If Pak wins today, this will be their highest ever chase in T20Is" -- Spot on.

Syed Naveed: "Ugh, when we got rid off this Covid-19, It is seriously destroying cricket. "

15 balls since the last boundary. West Indies did not finish the way they would've liked. Should Shepherd have come in before Powell?

Mohammad Wasim to Powell, 1 run, full and wide outside off. Full toss, but mistimed shot from Powell. Long off keeps it down to one

Ossama: "It's not often you see teams scoring 200 against Pakistan in T20s. " -- This was the 4th time, I believe.
