CWC19: West Indies becomes DANGERUSS to Pakistan; #MenInMaroon make a legendary comeback

West Indies smashed Pakistan in match number two of the ICC World Cup 2019 today. The Windies produced sheer hostility with short balls to dismiss Sarfaraz Ahmed's side for just 105 while Oshane Thomas became the star performer, who led the bowling attack with four wickets while Windies skipper Holder helped him with three crucial scalps.

Further explaining about the match, for West Indies, Oshane Thomas took four wickets while skipper Jason Holder dismissed three Pakistani batsmen. Fakhar Zaman (22) and Babar Azam (22) top-scored for Pakistan, trying to put a fight. While, Sheldon Cottrell gave Pakistan the first blow removing Imam ul Haq (2) in the third over.

Andre Russell then added to Pakistan’s worry by taking 2 wickets, giving only 4 runs and a maiden over. Some late hitting from Riaz took Pakistan over the 100-mark but the target remained too small for the Caribbean side.
