WI vs PAK, 3rd T20I: Pakistan beats West Indies by 13 runs to win series
Pakistan posted 189 for four and then bowled tightly enough to restrict West Indies to 176 for six.
Pakistan's opening partnership ended when Farhan was out for 74 runs in the 17th over, his 53-ball innings finishing when he hit a low full-toss from Shamar Joseph (1-57) directly to Shai Hope at long-off.
Ayub continued until the last ball of the penultimate over of Pakistan's innings, when he hit a full ball from Jason Holder (one for 34) to Sherfane Rutherford in the covers and was out for 66 from 49 deliveries.
West Indies raced to 33-0 after two overs in reply, taking 16 off the first over from Hasan Ali and 17 in the second from Mohammad Nawaz.
Haris Rauf slowed the run-rate in the third over, which only went for five runs, and then snared the first West Indies wicket when he had Jewel Andrew (24 from 15 deliveries) caught by Hasan Ali in the fifth over with the total at 44.
Alick Athanaze scored 60 from 40 deliveries, sharing further partnerships of 30 with Hope (7) and 36 with Rutherford until he mis-timed a fuller, faster delivery from Ayub and was caught at short third-man. At that point, West Indies slipped to 110 for three in the 13th over.
Rutherford kept West Indies in the contest with 51 from 35 balls but his dismissal in the last over ended any chance of a comeback win.
The series was tied 1-1 going into the decider after Jason Holder took four wickets and then smashed a boundary off the final ball of the second game to lift West Indies to a thrilling two-wicket victory on Saturday.
It was the first T20 victory for West Indies in seven matches, a span that included a heavy 5-0 series defeat to Australia, on top of a test series sweep last month.
Pakistan won the series-opener by 14 runs.
Both teams travel to the Caribbean for a series of three One-Day Internationals.

Pak skittled for 92 as WI win 3rd ODI by 202 runs
Tarouba: Shai Hope helped deliver some long overdue good news for the West Indies with a century to inspire the Caribbean cricketers to a series-clinching, 202-run win over Pakistan. It was the first bilateral ODI series won by West Indies against Pakistan since 1991 and ended a run of home series defeats across the test and Twenty20 formats to Australia and Pakistan. Hope stroked an unbeaten 120 before pace bowler Jayden Seales destroyed Pakistan's chase with six wickets in the third and final one-day cricket international. The West Indies captain said he was extremely proud of his team. Hope added there'd been a lot of stress on negatives in the game but now there was 'positives to shout about' for West Indies cricket. The big win came in the wake of a two-day emergency summit for Caribbean cricket. Hope attended part of the summit, along with greats including Brian Lara and Clive Lloyd, to help create strategies to lift West Indies back toward the top of the international game. The summit was called after a West Indian lineup scored just 27 runs in its second innings – one run short of the all-time test record for low totals — while losing the third of three tests to Australia. After losing eight straight matches to Australia and then losing a Twenty20 series 2-1 to Pakistan in Florida, West Indies lost the ODI series-opener to Pakistan last week by five wickets. West Indies leveled the series with a five-wicket victory in the second ODI to stoke hope of a revival and dominated the third. Pakistan was dismissed for 92 in 29.2 overs Tuesday after West Indies posted 294-6 at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad and Tobago.
