WI VS PAK - 4th T20I, Pakistan tour of West Indies, 2021

Unfortunately not much cricket in the T20 leg. And sadly we couldn't see Dwayne Bravo in action for one last time in West Indies colours at home. He confirmed ahead of the game that this will be his last international game at home having already quit the other two formats. We should see him in action at the World Cup. The teams will now move to Jamaica for two Tests starting August 12. See you then!

Babar Azam | Pakistan skipper: (As translated) As a team we wanted to execute a few plans, try combinations, but we couldn't do that because of rain. Difficult to stay away from family in these times and play cricket. But credit to the management for doing well. We wanted to improve on the areas we were lacking, try combinations. We have a few more games to do that. Looking forward to the Tests. We will now switch our minds to the Test format.

Kieron Pollard | West Indies skipper: The series of 5 matches at the start, obviously we got only one opportunity. As a team we were looking forward to finish off these block of matches with some wins. Having said that, sometimes in life you control what you can control and this is something you cannot control. In all honesty, we have honed out what we exactly what wanted to find out. It was very, very disappointing for us losing some guys in the nature of how competitive the games were, guys weren't able to get through including myself missing out the entire series against Australia, Hopefully let's see what happens in the CPL. His (Dwayne Bravo) dream was always to play cricket for West Indies, started his career in 2004, and he said about wanting to finish here in the Caribbean. He has been fantastic for us the budding all-rounders, words can't describe the impact he has had on the bowlers especially, it's just not about cricketing point of view but life point of view as well. Obviously we will have to see what happens with the T20 World Cup squad. Obed Mccoy and Hayden Walsh have been fantastic for us, they have done very well for themselves and Fabien Allen has been the real positive for us. We have spoken about how we want to play and what we want to improve and practice, we have very very exciting times coming up. We were never gonna be perfect but we will try and pick our best team for the Men in Maroon, let's see what happens, There are just 23 days before the CPL, but looking forward to it,.Each and every person who's in a bubble understands the value of getting breaks. Day in and day out we are trying to put out the show, each had every person has been a bubble understands that and we are looking forward to these breaks.

14:21 Local Time: The match has been called off and Pakistan win a 4-match series 1-0. Us cricket fans have been robbed of some really close battle between these two sides. Rain ruined the party in Barbados after West Indies's 9-over innings. The teams moved to Guyana and Pakistan pulled off a highly impressive win defending a modest 157 in the second game. We got just 1.2 overs in the third game and 3 overs today. So West Indies are done with their international T20 games before the mega World Cup in October-November. They had a really challenging 5-match series against South Africa, then bossed Australia in another 5-match series. This was supposed to be 5 games against, but Covid consumed a game and rain would just not let cricket have fun. No more match practice for the defending champions before World Cup. Hope they have sorted their combination. Pakistan meanwhile, still have a few T20 games left in the tank.

14:15 Local Time: Light rain still falling. I'm afraid this could be it!

13:58 Local Time: The rain is frustratingly back and so are the covers. 14:29 is the latest a 5-over game can start. West Indies won't mind a 5-over game one bit. They are already off to a great start. They will get 12 balls to hit as many sixes as possible with all 10 wickets in hand. And remember, Pakistan's total will be stretched further by DLS.

Okay, we have a 9-over contest starting at 14:00.

Ian Bishop on air saying that we could be having a 10-over contest. But will still have no official word on it.

13:26 Local Time: The umpires are out inspecting certain areas of the outfield. The Pakistan pacers are seen limbering up as the spectators wait anxiously for a positive update. One of the areas on the edge of the inner circle seems to be concerning the umps. Looks like it's very soft underneath when one of the ump's pressed with his boot.

13:05 Local Time: Good news! It has stopped raining and "The covers are almost completely off" informs Samuel Badree on air. The groundsmen have plenty of work to do though as there might be a few waterlogged areas. There's an inspection scheduled at 13:25 local, which could give us a possible hint about the revised playing conditions...

Ajinkya Jadhav: Oh! West Indies long wait for a multi-match bilateral series win in limited-overs cricket against Pakistan continues. The last coming in Nov 1991, they either draw the series or lose the series from here, though rain will have the final say.

Looks like we will not have play at least for about an hour from the time it stops raining. The covers need to be taken off, outfield needs to be cricket-dry (although the drainage here is very good) and the umps will need time for inspection too. 14:22 was the cut-off time for a 5-over contest on Sunday.

12:20 Local Time: Still raining. Water on the covers and we have started to lose overs. Not heavy rain but it's set in nicely. "To the East of us it still looks heavy," says Ian Bishop on air.

John bhat: I think it is good to say that this the a tri series between pak, WI and Rain.1st and 3rd T20 won by Rain and is aslo looking promising in the 4th

11:35 Local Time: Not good news. The rain has picked up and we are seeing more covers being brought on. We will obviously not lose any overs till about 12:14.

Waqar Younis, Pakistan bowling coach: It's just a trend (fast bowling in Pakistan). Even if you look back 30-40 years we had some amazing fast bowlers. Unfortunate we didn't play cricket in our country for a long time and that really has damaged, but we still got plenty. Guys like Hasan Ali and Shaheen, they are getting better with time and with World Cup round the corner, hopefully they will be ready for that. When you talk about shorter versions, the batters are lot stronger and it is difficult to just have pace and survive, you gotta have slower balls and yorkers and all these tricks and you gotta be very watchful especially with players like Gayle and all the big hitters of the game. We got couple of good legspinners and we got Nawaz sitting out there, our batting style is probably different to other teams but we get the job done and that's really important and the bowlers are getting there. We just played a series in England, playing this series and then got five T20Is against New Zealand and then England, by the time we get to the T20 World Cup in UAE, I think we should be ready.

Weatherman Mohammad Hafeez is seen explaining to his mates which way the clouds are expected to move.

11:14 Local Time: It's now heavy enough for the blue covers to come on. It's not really heavy for the players to rush off. The pitch has been covered, now the bigger covers come on. There is a stiff breeze too, hope the clouds will be blown away. We can't see Sun, but it's not as cloudy as Sunday either.

Hasan Ali to Andre Fletcher, no run, lovely slower delivery, Fletcher defends

Hasan Ali to Andre Fletcher, no run, covers the line and blocks

Hasan Ali not happy with the landing area. It's damp, so there will be footmarks. Some sawdust being applied and we can see drizzle in the background.

Hasan Ali to Andre Fletcher, no run, pace off, the off-cutter, Fletcher didn't read that and he changed his mind on the cut shot to wear it close to the glove with extra bounce
