Time for national anthems

Toss: West Indies have won the toss and elected to field first. Hussain Talat and Asif Ali make Pakistan debut.

Sarfraz Ahmed: Wicket is good for batting. We will try to score more than 160 runs and then defend it

Jason Mohammad: I am captaining the side for the first time. Obviously, there will be some pressure on me

19: 30: Hello and welcome to the ball-by-ball coverage of the first Twenty20 between Pakistan and West Indies from National Cricket Stadium.

KARACHI: Karachi is set to host its first international cricket game in nine years after West Indies take to the field against Pakistan in the first Twenty20 at National Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Although the top-ranked Pakistan are clear favorite in the historic contest, the reigning World T20 Champion can never be ruled out of the game despite fielding an inexperienced side. Marlon Samuels and Samuel Badree are the only two big names in the visiting side.

The Men in Green are in good form due to the recently-concluded Pakistan Super League.

The Jason Mohammed-led tourists, having only arrived in Karachi a few hours ago, will have to recover from the jet-lag and produce a competitive game.

Squads

Pakistan: Fakhar Zaman, Ahmed Shehzad, Babar Azam, Sarfraz Ahmed (capt & wk), Shoaib Malik, Faheem Ashraf, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Nawaz

West Indies (likely XI): Andre Fletcher, Chadwick Walton, Marlon Samuels, Jason Mohammed (capt), 5 Denesh Ramdin (wk), Rovman Powell, Keemo Paul, Rayad Emrit, Veerasammy Permaul, Samuel Badree and Kesrick Williams

It was a meek surrender from the West Indies as they slumped to their lowest-ever T20I score to lose the first instalment of the three-match series against Pakistan in Karachi on Sunday. Things never got going for the visitors, who were facing a daunting task of chasing a mammoth 203 in their quota of 20 overs. Chadwick Walton sparked off by striking a six off the first ball but things for the Windies went only downhill after Mohammad Nawaz removed the opener on the fourth delivery of the second innings. Things got much worse for the touring party as a typical batting collapse followed and Pakistan bowlers rolled over their top-order leaving them reeling at 15/4. The visitors just couldn't recover as they lost the plot and it was a mere formality for Pakistan from there in wiping off the innings. Earlier, put in to bat, Fakhar Zaman, Hussain Talat and Sarfraz Ahmed played vital cameos before the country's most experienced T20 campaigner Shoaib Malik's late charge ensured that Pakistan posted 203/5, equalling their highest-ever score in the format. Pakistan now lead the series 1-0 and the second T20I will be played at the same venue on April 2. (SCORECARD)

22:30 IST: WICKET! Walton c Asif Ali b Mohammad Nawaz 6(4)

22:25 IST: What a stunning way to begin the chase of 204. Chadwick Walton pulled Mohammad Nawaz delivery away to deep mid-wicket for a SIX.

21:23 IST: Veerasammy Permaul, left-arm orthodox, is injured in the first over of his T20I debut.

After 9 overs, Pakistan are 79/2

21:15 IST: Pakistan's scoring rate has gone down considerably but they are still going strong.

After 8 overs, Pakistan are 72/2

After 4 overs, Pakistan are 40/0

After 3 overs, Pakistan are 29/0

20:45 IST: We are just 3 overs into the match and West Indies have made 3 bowling changes already.

West Indies were looking like a group of players who had forgotten how to bat. They were never in the competition. Pakistan were all over them, right from the time Samuel Badree bowled the first over of the match to the time he became the last man to fall for West Indies. This is a weakened Windies team and so, them winning the match would have been a big shock. But Karachi would have probably liked to see a bit more of a match on this occassion.
