Pakistan crash to their biggest World Cup defeat | G Sports Waheed Khan

#TrendingNo1 Pakistan crash to their biggest World Cup defeat | G Sports with Waheed Khan 31st May 2019 | West Indies won by 7 wickets (with 218 balls remaining) #TrendingNo1 Oshane Thomas and Andre Russell keep it short and to the point as Pakistan are routed There's a simple reason why this game was so short: because the West Indies bowlers were, too. In a spell of fast bowling more suited to Test cricket of the 1980s than limited-overs in this more cautious age, West Indies stuck to a length that kept pushing Pakistan further and further back. It wasn't far back enough, and, led by the youngest member of their squad, Oshane Thomas, they shot Pakistan out for their second lowest total ever in World Cup history; it would have been double figures but for a 22-run tenth-wicket partnership, the highest of the innings. West Indies' chase wasn't quite as convincing as one might have expected: just a couple of months ago, a similar chase against England was achieved with contemptuous ease. But there was never any doubt about the outcome of the game whatsoever, even if Mohammad Amir put up the best bowling performance he has managed since the Champions Trophy in 2017, picking up all three of West Indies wickets in a valiant effort to make the game competitive. They were streaky at times, fortunate others, but the bottom line was that, having dismissed Pakistan so cheaply, West Indies could afford to be as cavalier as they wished and still picked up a thumping win, one they achieved with a whopping 36.2 overs to spare, the highest number of balls remaining in a World Cup match. It is Andre Russell, as ever, who will perhaps grab the limelight, even if Thoams was the main wicket-taker. He came in after the opening bowlers had put West Indies in command, but their dominance was nowhere near as established as after he'd finished his 18-ball burst. Russell pitched the ball so short, so consistently, and at such high speeds, every dot seemed to count for more than just another ball used up; it was ground gained as Pakistan receded ever further, almost to irrelevance. He may have only taken two scalps but, so broken was the Pakistan batting line-up after viewing what had transpired, the wickets appeared to fall in Russell's lap when he was eventually, surprisingly belatedly, brought into the attack. Fifteen of the 18 balls he bowled were short of a length, and it was a blueprint every bowler followed to a tee, to devastating results. No pitch is a 105-all-out pitch, and this one perhaps least of all. Before the game, there had been gallows humour about Pakistan needing to bat first to prevent the West Indies breaking too many batting records with the raw power of their squad, but it isn't as if this upshot will be any less humiliating. Not one batsman managed to hold the innings together, and at no point did a partnership threaten West Indies' complete control over the game. Pakistan were hopping and dancing, and the tune they were doing it to was decidedly calypso. The rot started when Imam ul Haq nudged Sheldon Cottrell behind, and even Fakhar Zaman - who was bowled - was deceived by a short delivery that crashed into his helmet and trickled onto the stumps. His 22 was the joint-highest score of the innings alongside Babar Azam, whose phenomenal record against West Indies counted for very little against a side that looks so reinvented in the year since they scrambled to qualify for this tournament.
