Pakistan‘s exquisite opener Ahmed Shehzad smashed his sixth Twenty20 International (T20I) half-century, as it was his knock that led the visitors to a glorious seven-wicket win over the hosts West Indies in the fourth and final T20I at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad on Sunday. With this win, Pakistan also claimed the series, as they won it 3-1. Apart from Shehzad, it was Baba Azam, who too played a steady and decent knock of 38 to ensure Pakistan’s series win, while for West Indies, it was nothing more than a reality check, as they have plenty of homework to do.
