Jason Holder, Player of the Match: Told Romario when we were batting that we need four sixes. We are powerful players and knew that we could find the boundary. Just keep wickets in hand but still hit in our strong areas. Credit to Pakistan bowlers. They did really well. extremely proud of our men. Even from the Australia series, we could see plenty of positives. Bowlers supported each other, we got wickets upfront, in middle and towards the end. I love playing for West Indies, still think a lot of work needs to be done. One of my things is to leave WI cricket better than I found it. We've had a fair bit of criticism which is warranted. We haven't done justice to our potential...w can be a lot better, consistency has definitely plagued us. For me, I'll keep putting in my best effort

Shai Hope, West Indies Captain: Been a tough couple of weeks for us...hats off to the bowlers...the bowlers set up the game for us, restricted them to a low total. We always try to get better, guys have put in a lot of hard work. Hopefully today is the turnaround we are looking for. (area of improvement:) I guess look for more singles in middle overs we tend to be a boundary hitting team, we are known for that, but rotation of strike is something we need to look at when the pitch is not conducive because they are going to do the same thing.

Salman Ali Agha, Pakistan Captain: In this game we batted well in powerplay but we couldn't finish the game. (on bowlers) We bowled really well but there is always room to improve. I think we can bowl better at death. 130 was never enough but they fought really well and I am proud of (bowlers). The way spinners bowled in both games, we are ready for Asia Cup, and they will come into play in Dubai.

Phew, that was something special. Holder stepped up to the plate with the ball and made sure his effort didn't go in vain. He fittingly hits the winning shot, and his 16-run cameo gets West Indies over the line, breaking the long losing streak. Hope, Chase, and Motie did just enough to keep them in the hunt. Pakistan spinners had them on a leash and controlled the game completely but the pacers didn't hold their end of the bargain and leaked plenty at the end and West Indies had enough in the tank to eke out a memorable win that will surely lift their spirits and mood

Kannadachi : "T20 has been WI strong hold. When they lost 6 in a row , felt they have to punch above their weight. WI cricket needed that win !"

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Holder, FOUR runs

Absolute wild celebrations, roar of triumph from Jason Holder and high-fives all around! West Indies break the voodoo and it's that man again, Holder who has risen to the occasion, Shaheen bowls full into the pads at middle, he shuffles across a touch and hits it with a lot of oomph past fine leg and the ball has enough legs to reach the rope. What an incredible game of cricket, West Indies held their nerve in the crunch moments while Pakistan pacers flinched in the last few overs!

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Shepherd, OUT

bowls full and gun-barrel straight, ball thunders into the front pad and looks very adjacent, plumbest of the lbws, unable to flick and umpire raises the dreaded finger much to the dismay of Shepherd who hits his bat on his pad and is gutted not to finish the game. Now Shamar needs to bring Holder on strike

that is a well-directed lifter around the line off that floors Shepherd as he loses his balance while trying a hook, actually twisted his right foot and looks in some discomfort
