CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (AP) – Denesh Ramdin and Lendl Simmons scored half-centuries and Darren Bravo retired hurt on 49 as the West Indies scored 310 for six after being sent in to bat by Pakistan at the Cricket World Cup on Saturday.
Ramdin scored 51 and Simmons (50) was run out on the last ball as the West Indies recovered from a slow start to post a decent total, aided by five dropped catches from Pakistan.
Andre Russell clobbered 42 from 13 balls, including four 6s, in a 51-run stand with Simmons in the last three overs.
The West Indies were in early trouble at 28 for two with Dwayne Smith (23) and Chris Gayle (4) out cheaply, but Bravo helped restore the innings despite a left-leg injury and being hit by the ball as he attempted a run.
West Indies 310-6 (Denesh Ramdin 51, Lendl Simmons 50 not out, Darren Bravo 49 ret. hurt, Dwayne Smith 23; Haris Sohail 2-62) vs Pakistan.
