Pakistan have had to endure a few anxious moments today before completing their win. They will be thrilled with the manner in which their fast-bowling department performed today (making you wonder whether Mohammad Asif will get a place in the XI). Equally heartening will be the young Umar Akmal's display. He showed an ability to adapt his game according to the situation, leaving plenty of deliveries during Gavin Tonge's fantastic spell. Winning with nearly 20 overs to spare will also boost their net run-rate, something which could be a factor in deciding which team progresses from Group A.
For West Indies, Nikita Miller's batting effort and Gavin Tonge's superb bowling bodes well, and the manner in which the entire team fought despite the batting failure are pluses.
Post-match presentation:
Floyd Reifer says he doesn't regret the decision to bat first. "I would like to congratulate Miller, Tonge bowled well, and our bowling and fielding as a unit was very good.
"Somebody in the top four has to score a hundred, if we are to compete."
Shahid Afridi "I think the guys bowled very well, they showed great maturity ... I just told Umar just play positive, don't bother about the wicket. I love bravehearts, and that's why I like him." He says the opening batting and the fielding are areas where Pakistan need to improve.
Umar Akmal is the Man of the Match." I didn't feel any pressure, I just maintained a positive attitude, as the seniors in the team advised."
That's it from us at Cricinfo. Thanks for tuning in, I'll be back for tomorrow's game between South Africa and New Zealand. Till then, it's bye from me, Siddarth Ravindran
