Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez won the toss and elected to bat against the West Indies in their second T20I at Kingston on Sunday.

Zulfiqar Babar completed a dream debut by striking the final ball of the match for six to give Pakistan a two-wicket victory over the West Indies in the first Twenty20 International at the Arnos Vale Stadium on Saturday.

Having taken three wickets for 23 runs with his left-arm spinners in helping to restrict the world champions to 152 for seven, the 34-year-old newcomer then made the winning hit off Marlon Samuels with the scores level to hand the home side their first defeat in this form of the game since they lifted the world title last October in Sri Lanka.

Teams:

West Indies: Johnson Charles (wk), Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Christopher Barnwell, Darren Sammy (c), Sunil Narine, Tino Best, Samuel Badree.

Pakistan: Mohammad Hafeez (c), Ahmed Shehzad, Umar Amin, Umar Akmal (wk), Haris Sohail, Shahid Afridi, Hammad Azam, Sohail Tanvir, Zulfiqar Babar, Saeed Ajmal, Asad Ali.
