PAK VS WI - 2nd ODI (Rescheduled match), West Indies tour of Pakistan, 2021-22

That's it from this encounter. Pakistan seal the series with a game to go. Join us on Sunday for the final ODI - same time, same venue, where 10 more World Cup Super League points will be up for grabs. For now, it's goodbye and good night.

Babar Azam: The wicket was double-paced early on. We wanted to build a partnership as we knew it'd be tough for new batters. Unfortunately, there was a run-out. Because of me we were 10-15 runs short. We saved him (Khushdil) for the end, because we all know what he can do in the slog overs. I was confident that our spinners would bowl well. Nawaz was outstanding, he picked wickets at crucial moments.

Nicholas Pooran: Tough day for us. We bowled well in the first 40 overs. We gave 20 more runs, 250 would have been ideal for us. We need to review it (death bowling) and keep working. It's a new team as well, we are in rebuilding stage, we can't get everything right. We learn from his experience. Credit must be given, Nawaz bowled amazingly. We couldn't build a partnership, we had to dig deep. There were soft dismissals. Today wasn't our day.

Mohammad Nawaz, Player of the Match: I focused on my basics, I wanted to bowl in the right areas. It spun a lot. I knew if I bowled in the right areas, the pitch would help me. Shadab didn't get the ball to spin much in the first two overs, but then even he got it to spin. Finger spinners got more spin. As an all-rounder, I try to improve with every game.

23:15 Local Time, 18:15 GMT, 23:45 IST: A convincing victory for Pakistan who have gained an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series. Earlier in the day, Pakistan elected to bat first, and although Fakhar Zaman fell for another low score, Babar and Imam had another fantastic partnership. The pair added 120 runs [which coincidentally was also the margin of defeat] for the second wicket, and once their partnership was broken, Pakistan faced a mini batting collapse. But they had done enough to ensure that Pakistan finish with a formidable total on the back of a few cameos by their lower order batters. In reply, West Indies lost Hope early, and although Mayers and Brooks played a couple of handy knocks, none of them were able to convert their starts. Mohammad Nawaz bowled an exceptional spell to break the opposition's backbone, while Mohammad Wasim Jr. finish things off with a three-wicket haul. A collective effort by the hosts in short, and they'll be pretty pleased with this performance. Stay tuned for the presentations..

Mohammad Wasim Jr to Anderson Phillip, out Bowled!! Pakistan win by 120 runs! Mohammad Wasim Junior claims his third wicket and that's game, set, match. On a length around off and the ball keeps really low as it skids along the deck. Anderson Phillip is too late to bring his bat down and the off-stump goes for a toss. A clinical performance by the hosts as the celebrations in Multan have begun. Anderson Phillip b Mohammad Wasim Jr 1(3)
