Karachi, Jan 22: Pakistan qualified for the semi-finals of the Youth World Cup being played in Colombo when on Saturday they defeated the West Indies by three wickets to finish unbeaten in Super League Group 1.
In the semi-finals on Monday, Pakistan face Sri Lanka who were beaten by India and ended up second in Super League Group 2. The other semi-final will be between Australia, second qualifier from Super League 1, and India, winner of Super League 2.
The stars in Pakistan's victory were left-arm paceman Zahid Saeed, promising batsmen Taufiq Umer and Faisal Iqbal.
Zahid Saeed continued his excellent form with the leather to capture four wickets for 27 runs from 9.4 over as the West Indies, put into bat, were dismissed for 182 in 49.4 overs.
Zahid removed the second half of the West Indies lineup to take his tally of wickets to 15 from four matches. Zahid was very well supported by wrist spinner Danish Kaneria who chipped in with two for 23 from his 10 overs.
For the West Indies, C.Chattergoon was the top scorer with 44. His 61-ball innings included four boundaries. Skipper R.O Hinds scored 32 off 53 balls with one boundary. Both the batsmen added 84 runs from 112 balls for the sixth wicket after the West Indies had slumped to 86 for five in 29.1 overs.
Pakistan, chasing a 183 for victory at the run-rate of 3.66 were rescued by a 116-run four wicket partnership between opener Taufiq Umer and Hasan Raza after they were reduced to 54 for three in 13.2 overs.
The partnership ended at the total of 170 in 38.2 overs when Taufiq became one of four victims of Hinds after scoring a fine 65. His 112-ball innings was laced with six boundaries.
Taufiq's dismissal saw Pakistan losing three more wickets in space of 16 balls to be reduced to 173 for seven in 41 overs from 170 for three in 38.2 overs. But Faisal stood like a rock to return unbeaten after scoring 67. His 95-ball knock spiced with seven boundaries.
For the West Indies, who finished third in the group, skipper Hinds finished with four for 19 from seven overs.
