Fans enjoy cricket matches despite W.I. defeat by Pakistan

Cricket fans had a great time as West Indies and Pakistan engaged in two thrilling Twenty20 Internationals at the Arnos Vale Sports Complex last weekend.{{more}}

In the first match on Saturday, the match was decided off the final ball when 34-year-old debutant Zulfiqar Babar smashed a six off Marlon Samuels when Pakistan required one run to overhaul a target of 153.

The second match on the following day wasn’t as tense, but West Indies had a chance when they needed 13 off the last three balls.

Pakistan held their nerve to win by 11 runs to complete a clean sweep of the two-match series.

The two defeats for the West Indies saw the World Twenty20 champions slip from No. 2 to No. 3 in the ICC rankings while Pakistan replaced them in the No. 2 position.
