The host nation- Pakistan produced an all-round performance to outclass a depleted West Indies side by 143 runs as they slumped to their lowest-ever T20I score of 60 to lose the first game of the three-match T20I series in Karachi on Sunday. Earlier, Windies won the toss and put in to bat first, Pakistan equaled their highest-ever T20I score of 203/5 as Hussain Talat (41), Fakhar Zaman (39) and captain Sarfraz Ahmed (38) scored quick runs to lay a solid foundation for a formidable score. Pakistan's most experienced T20I campaigner Shoaib Malik's (37 off 14 balls) late charge. In reply, the visitors, who were facing a daunting task of chasing a mammoth 203 in their quota of 20 overs, could not get the start they wanted, as they continued losing wickets at regular intervals.

The visitors witnessed a typical batting collapse as Pakistan bowlers rolled over their top-order leaving them reeling at 15/4. For Pakistan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Amir and Shoaib Malik picked up two wickets each while Hasan Ali, Shadab Khan and Hussain Talat picked up one wicket each. The second T20I match will be played at the same venue.
