GEORGETOWN – Jason Mohammed struck the second fastest half-century by a West Indian against Pakistan, as the embattled Caribbean side pulled off a daring record run chase yesterday to win the opening one-day international by four wickets.
Having never successfully chased in excess of 300 in an ODI, the inexperienced Windies side tore up the form books to overhaul a challenging target of 308 with an over to spare at the Guyana National Stadium, and take a crucial 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Mohammed was at the heart of the sensational win, producing a magical unbeaten 91 from 58 balls to steal Man Of The Match honours. Opener Kieran Powell struck a measured 61, Evin Lewis hit 47, while tailender Ashley Nurse smashed a cameo 15-ball 34 not out down the stretch to help see West Indies over the line. (CMC)
