Marauding West Indians Crush Pakistan to Set Up Semifinal Clash with Sri Lanka - Kridangan Sports
In the last league game played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium at Mirpur on Tuesday Apirl 1 2014, West Indies inflicted a humiliating 84-run defeat on Pakistan in a match, which had its twists and turns. When West Indies elected to bat after winning the toss, they must have envisioned a total which Pakistan could not challenge. But things soured for them as they lost both openers for 22 runs in 3.5 overs. In any case, both Gayle and Smith were struggling against the Pakistan bowlers as long as they occupied the crease. Before Simmons fell at 61, the third-wicket stand between him and Marlon Samuels had produced 39 runs but two partners could not lift the scoring rate beyond 6.
