Pakistan level ODI series against Windies

Pakistan have beaten West Indies by 74 runs in Guyana to level the one-day series at 1-1.

Babar Azam was the star as Pakistan defeated West Indies by 74 runs in Guyana to level the ODI series at 1-1 with one match remaining.

Azam's unbeaten 125 off 132 balls provided the backbone for a score of 5-282 after the hosts won the toss and elected to field.

There were also good contributions from Imad Wasim (43 not out from 35 balls) and Sarfraz Ahmed, who hit 26 at a rate of a run a ball.

Pakistan's seam bowlers then made significant inroads into the West Indies batting line up with the hosts in trouble at 6-75.

Jason Holder went on to get his half century and record his highest career score - 68 - but his efforts would be in vain as his side fell some way short of their target, being dismissed for 208.

Hasan Ali brought an end to proceedings by taking the wickets of Alzarri Joseph (15) and Holder to end with career-best figures of 5-38.
