Mohd. Nawaz's Three-Wicket Over Secures Pakistan's T20 Win Against West Indies
Last Updated: Mohammad Nawaz's three-wicket over led Pakistan to a 14-run win over West Indies in the opening T20 in Florida. Saim Ayub scored 57, earning player of the match. Mohammad Nawaz's impressive three-wicket haul in an over led Pakistan to a 14-run victory over West Indies in the opening match of the Twenty20 series in Florida on Thursday. Sent in to bat first, Pakistan posted a total of 178 for six, bolstered by Saim Ayub's brisk 57 from 38 balls. Reflecting on the match, Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha said, 'It was a great game, we assessed the conditions well, batted and finished well, we started well with the ball, the middle overs were outstanding and the spinners were superb. 'We didn't take a wicket in the first 10 overs, but we controlled the game. The 11th over, we got three wickets and that was the turning point. Once the ball got older, it was tough to bat against spin and I was waiting for the moment. 'The pitch was the same for both teams – you could score against the new ball, but once the ball went old, it started to grip and turn for the spinners, making batting very difficult." Questions about whether Pakistan's score was above or below par at this venue were partially answered when West Indies openers Johnson Charles and 18-year-old rookie Jewel Andrew managed a run rate of just over six an over until the halfway point in their chase. After conceding 20 runs in his first three overs, left-arm spinner Nawaz dramatically changed the course of the match. In the 12th over, he dismissed Andrew for 35, ending a 72-run opening stand, and then claimed the wickets of Charles (35) and Gudakesh Motie (0) on the fourth and fifth deliveries, reducing the West Indies to 75-3. Skipper Shai Hope (2) then scooped a full delivery from Ayub into the deep in the next over, leading to West Indies losing four wickets for just five runs. Ayub was named player of the match for his half-century and bowling figures of 2-20. Some powerful late hitting from Jason Holder, who smashed four sixes in his unbeaten 30 off 12 balls, and Shamar Joseph, who contributed 21 from 12, helped West Indies reach 164-7, making the final margin more respectable. This one-sided contest quashed any hopes of the West Indies beginning the series against Pakistan on a positive note, following their recent comprehensive defeats in both Test and T20 series against Australia, who had completed a historic 8-0 sweep in the Caribbean earlier in the week. view comments Location : Lauderhill, United States First Published: News cricket Mohd.

Australia complete perfect 8-0 sweep on the dominant West Indies tour
Australia completed a sweep of the Twenty20 international cricket series with a three-wicket victory over West Indies to finish its Caribbean tour with an 8-0 record. Australia went into the last game on a 7-match winning streak following the 3-0 test series sweep and victories in the first four of the T20 internationals. After winning the toss for the eighth straight time, Australia sent the home team in to bat and dismissed West Indies for 170 two balls short of the allotted 20 overs on Monday night. Shimron Hetmyer's 52 from 31 balls and Sherfane Rutherford's 35 off 17 propped up the innings but the target wasn't big enough to put genuine pressure on the Australian batters. Ben Dharshuis took 3-41 and Nathan Ellis finished with 2-32, while spinner Adam Zampa returned 1-20 in his 100th T20 international after taking a wicket and having a chance dropped off his bowling in the penultimate over. The Australians reached 173-7 with 18 balls to spare, with a 63-run fifth-wicket partnership between Mitchell Owen (37 off 17 deliveries) and Cameron Green (32 off 18) stabilizing the innings. Aaron Hardie finished not out on 28. West Indies had Australia in trouble in the opening powerplay with Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph taking two wickets apiece, but the runs kept flowing. Holder dismissed Glenn Maxwell for a golden duck, the first ball of the second over, when the Australian allrounder swung at a ball that shaped away and edged to short third-man where Jediah Blades juggled the catch but held the second grab. Holder also removed Josh Inglis (10) at the end of the second over. Joseph bowled Mitch Marsh (14) as Australia slipped to 29-3 after 2.2 overs and, after on onslaught of sixes, he had Tim David (30 from 12 balls) caught in the deep as Australia slipped to 60-4 in the fifth over. From there, Owen and Green dominated with a succession of sixes, including one by Owen that landed on the roof on a pavilion. Left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein was finally introduced to the attack to change the pace, and had an immediate impact with his second delivery to dismiss Owen and break up the important partnership. Hosein also dismissed Green and Ben Dwarshuis to return 3-17.

AUS T20 and ODI squad for SA series: Mitchell Owen rewarded for fine form; Hazlewood, Head return
Mitch Owen has been rewarded for his fine form in his first five T20 internationals by being named in both of Australia's squads for the short-format series against South Africa in the far north of the country next month. The 23-year-old all-rounder, who has yet to play a one-day international, scored 125 runs and took two wickets as Australia swept West Indies in all five T20Is in the Caribbean this month. Mitch Marsh captains both T20 and ODI squads in the absence of regular 50-overs skipper Pat Cummins, who will sit out the series with fellow quick Mitch Starc. Paceman Josh Hazlewood and batter Travis Head return to both squads as Australia continues its preparations for the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka early next year. Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell have both retired from ODIs, but the latter was named in the T20 squad, which will face South Africa in two matches in Darwin and another in Cairns. ALSO READ: IND vs ENG: Bumrah unlikely to play fifth Test 'As we build towards the T20 World Cup, the flexibility and depth shown in the West Indies, outside of the obvious results, has been a huge positive,' said chief selector George Bailey. 'The flexibility within the batting order and the ability of bowlers to bowl in different stages of the innings were particularly pleasing to see.' Wicketkeeper Alex Carey and top-order batsman Marnus Labuschagne were included in the ODI squad only, along with fast bowlers Xavier Bartlett and Lance Morris. The ODI series takes place after the completion of the T20Is, kicking off in Cairns with the last two matches at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay.
