it's just one. It's a pretty good place to bowl and he's done it. A wide yorker outside off, Holder stays in his crease and can only bunt the ball towards point for a run. Pakistan have defended 132 by three runs to ensure they can't lose the series. WI have somehow found a way to lose, again. Relief on Pakistan's faces

4.00pm For so long, it seemed like West Indies were cruising. It wasn't a big chase either. But they just haven't created a winning habit to find a way to win clutch, tough moments in games like these. It's the second-lowest total successfully defended by Pakistan in T20Is. With 14 required off 6, and then 6 off 4, Hasan Ali delivered four decent balls to win Pakistan the game. It was Shadab again, who led Pakistan with 4 for 14.
Presentation time.
Carlos Brathwaite: "We started beautifully, we let it slip. We drop a catch, and we misfielded, didn't do it in the backend with the bat. We have a team plan, but it's up to the guys to express what they want. We are showing progression: we had the opportunity but couldn't win. It's about self-reflection."
Shadab Khan is the Man of the Match: "A slower pitch than Barbados, was getting more turn."
Sarfraz Ahmed: "Starting wasn't good, but we finished well. It looked a good pitch, but it's slow."
Sarfraz Ahmed:

Hasan Ali to Narine, OUT
whoops, it's a run-out without a run. Pakistan are back. Good length delivery on middle, Narine toe-ends his swat back to the bowler. Holder thinks he is run-out but Narine ensures he passes Holder, sacrificing himself.

Holder comes down, probably tells Narine we're running

Hasan Ali to Narine, no run
another slower ball, that's where he needed to be at the start of the over. A slower offcutter outside off, Narine loses his shape as he fails to pick the slower ball. A play and miss.
Third man and fine leg are up. Point and cover are too.

Hasan Ali to Narine, 1 wide
oh my. WI fans have never been happier since the 2016 World T20. A full delivery that drifts down leg for a leg side wide. Finally, there is voice in the stands.
6 off 3

Hasan Ali to Narine, no run
finally adjusts his length. A shorter length outside off, Narine swings and misses. No bye. Important dot ball

Hasan Ali to Narine, FOUR runs
oh no. It's a low full toss from Hasan Ali. Another one that is full. Narine stays low, picks the full toss and hits the ball in the best possible place. Right over the bowler's head. Four. Brathwaite is finally happy
The slower ball?

Hasan Ali to Narine, FOUR runs
finds the boundary does Narine. If there was one place you don't want to bowl, it's there. Full and straight, in the arc. Narine heaves the ball into the gap at midwicket and he finds four. Wow.
Hasan Ali will bowl. 14 off 6. Narine is on strike. Imperative that bat meets ball for WI. One boundary changes things dramatically. Will it be the yorker or the slower ball? The wide yorker? It's noisy at the Queen's Park Oval. It's pressure.

Wahab Riaz to Holder, no run
a high full toss outside off and Holder misses it. Another bad ball, but Wahab gets away with it. Superb over despite two bad balls to round up his spell

Wahab Riaz to Holder, FOUR runs
that's four of them. After nailing all his yorkers, he misses this and pays a big big price. On a length on leg, Holder swings, makes contact and finds the boundary behind square.

Wahab Riaz to Narine, no run
another dot. Full and straight, misses the yorker but Narine, being new to the crease, can't time the ball cleanly. Back to the bowler. None off this over

Wahab Riaz to Brathwaite, OUT
bowled. Big wicket. Full and straight from Wahab Riaz. Full throttle. Brathwaite swings across the line and misses. The stumps are disturbed and Pakistan have an opening. The third umpire wants to check a no-ball and it's mighty close, but there is a smidgen behind at first point of impact. He shouldn't be that close though
