Commentator: Akshay Gopalakrishnan
That is all from us for this game. After two matches with bowlers at the forefront, the batsmen finally turned up and it made for some carnage. Pakistan will be hurting, but this West Indies win sets up things nicely for the final game of the series that takes place tomorrow. Hope to see you then. For now, it's goodbye from all of us here.
Arunram: "twice was run out and now nailed the game..dont know what would have happened if he was not run out on both the matches"
"Very pleased with the energy, passion and fire, says Carlos Brathwaite, West Indies captain. Everyone fought till the last ball. They looked good for 160 and to keep them down to 130-odd was great. It was a fantastic effort with the ball and then the way Evin Lewis played, even Jason Mohammed who showed great maturity on debut. We will come out tomorrow and look for a series draw. There will be more intensity and heat. We will look to recover and come back and do what is required of us. We will look to do even better and draw the series."
"I'm very happy. Unfortunately, first two games, I got run out. I wanted to get a good score in this game and I got a good score," says Evin Lewis, Man of the Match. "I got a good start for the team and converted it. I have been putting in extra practice at the nets and that seems to be working."
Sarfraz Ahmed - I don't think we put up a good total. Kamran and Babar played well, but after 13 overs, we lost eight wickets. Set batsmen got out and momentum shifted to West Indies. Today was not our day, but credit to West Indies. Evin Lewis played really well.
3.30pm This has been a one-sided annihilation of a Pakistan team that was 2-0 up and came in with a world of confidence and momentum. And what a brutal innings it was from Evin Lewis! At a time when West Indies needed it the most, facing a must-win situation, he comes out and produces a savage display of power-hitting on a slow surface. And it was batting on another plane. He picked lengths early, changes in pace had no effect, heck, even Shadab's googlies were dealt with. Short balls were hardly a bother and fuller ones were just gobbled up with glee. Lewis goes past Martin Guptill for the highest score by any batsman in a T20I against Pakistan. West Indies stay alive in the series with a game to go. Stay tuned, we have the presentations coming up shortly.
Sadiq: "Game over with your strike bowler having stats of 2-0-6-1. Poor stuff from the skipper."
Ali Cheema: "Sarfaraz loses for the 1st time as a captain in the international games"

Shadab to bowl his final over. But is it too late for him to be able to do anything?
