CWC 2019: West Indies defeats Pakistan by 7 wickets
A short preview of what happened
And that’s the end of it! Even our journey from home to a nearby market is longer than Pakistan innings today.
West Indies trounced Pakistan by seven wickets in a match that witnessed a little over 35 overs being bowled. The West Indies attack were brutal in their barrage of short deliveries, but the Pakistani batsmen did not help their case either with the kind of shots that they played. Plenty of positives for Jason Holder’s side. For Pakistan, still a lot of time in their hands to bounce back from this disastrous outing.
The Hits
DKODING | Oshane Thomas | CWC19
Oshane Thomas destroyed Pakistan’s batting unit with figures of 4 for 27. He led the bowling attack from the front with cruelty. Thomas chopped the Pakistan batsmen like snacks from him.
DKODING | Chris Gayle | CWC19
Chris Gayle walked out all guns blazing and became the leading six-hitter in World Cups. Gayle hit 3 sixes and 6 fours scoring a fifty to lead a brutal response from the West Indians.
DKODING | Jason Holder | CWC19
The Lone Warrior
DKODING | Mohammed Amir| CWC19
Mohammad Amir picked the wickets of Shai Hope and Darren Bravo but that did not stop Gayle from exploding. And the game was over within a blink of an eye.
The Miss
The whole batting line up of Pakistan was a big miss today. It would be unfair to even name one player.
They all disappointed big time

DKODING’s Verdict
Pakistan – We will just advice them to get their game set right before it’s too late.
West Indies – Chris Gayle ruled like a boss, Jason Holder holded everyone right Andre Russell in short span shocked everyone. West Indies performed like a electric current.
To sum up in less words:
West Indies ruled like a BOSS
