West Indies 166 (Motie 55, Warrican 36, Noman 6-41) and 244 (Brathwaite 52, Imlach 35, Sajid 4-76, Noman 4-80) beat Pakistan 154 (Rizwan 49, Warrican 4-43, Motie 3-49) and 133 (Babar 31, Warrican 5-27, Sinclair 3-61) by 120 runs
Rizwan and Agha kept the bowlers at bay for a while, hunkering down and trying to ride out this West Indies wave. But Kemar Roach was injured, and West Indies merely continued chipping away with their trio of spinners. Rizwan put away the odd delivery when they missed their lines, but this was becoming increasingly rare and Pakistan continued to feel asphyxiated.
For 12 overs, they held out, but Warrican got one to keep low as Salman Agha defended. It rapped him on the back pad adjacent to the stumps, and the visitors had the breakthrough that saw them burrow deep into the tail.
Soon after, it was Warrican again to dispense with Rizwan, who played all around a delivery that carried on with the arm and went through bat-pad to make a mess of his stumps. By now, only the formalities remained.
Noman Ali fell to Gudakesh Motie, but, fittingly it was Warrican who had the last laugh. Sajid Khan dragged it onto his stumps to seal another five-wicket haul that took his series tally to 19. As West Indies squealed with delighted, Warrican looked Sajid square in the eye and performed his now famous thigh-thumping celebration. It was an apt metaphor for the taste of their own medicine West Indies had given Pakistan.
