GROS ISLET, Saint Lucia: West Indies and Pakistan tied the third one-day international at Beausejour yesterday after the home side rallied in a thrilling final over.
West Indies scored 14 runs off the last over bowled by seamer Wahab Riaz to finish level with the visitors on 229 off 50 overs.
For the home team, James Holder was the hero as he carted a four and then a six off Riaz’s third and fifth deliveries in the last over.
With three runs remaining off the last ball, Holder managed two to tie the game.
Earlier, Pakistan were again indebted to captain Misbah-ul-Haq and the late aggression of Umar Akmal in totalling 229 for six. In his usual calm, unruffled manner, Misbah scored 75 to steady the innings after the early loss of both openers while Akmal swatted an unbeaten 40. The five-match series remains tied at 1-1 with the remaining two games to be played at the same venue tomorrow and Wednesday. AFP
