KINGSTOWN, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: 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 Twenty 20 international at the Arnos Vale Stadium late 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 format of the game since they lifted the world title last October against the hosts Sri Lanka.
Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi, was named man of the match for his knock of 46 runs off just 27 balls. AFP
