The West Indies struggled to chase Pakistan's total of 179, with Pakistani spinners effectively dismantling their batting lineup. Saim Ayub's impressive half-century set the stage for Pakistan, supported by consistent run contributions from his teammates. Despite Jason Holder dismissing Ayub for 57, Pakistan managed to gather 58 runs from their final 31 balls, thanks to valuable contributions from Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Nawaz, and a stunning six from Mohammad Haris.
