5.15 pm Pakistan move up to No. 2 - behind Sri Lanka - in the ICC rankings for T20 teams. Their bowlers were outstanding today. Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Akmal gave them a par score to defend and the bowlers stifled and dismantled the West Indies top order. The contest was over inside the first six overs of the chase.

That brings to an end Pakistan's fruitful tour of the Caribbean. They go home with an ODI and T20 trophy. For West Indies, a disappointing home season comes to an end. They beat Zimbabwe a few months ago, but did not make the tri-series final (India and Sri Lanka did) and then suffered two series defeats against Pakistan.

Dr. Dot: "That score doesn't come CLOSE to displaying just how badly the Windies got beaten. Sad, really. I feel sorry for their fans."

Ali: "For me Ajmal was the best bowler in the 2nd innings he stopped the runs when the runs were flowing from other end!"

Akhtar Farooq: "Good thing was that we witnessed excellent matches, close contest in ODI and T20. This is what perfect entertainment is."

Here's the presentation ceremony ...

Sammy: "We could have restricted them, but they played well in the end. We lost a lot of wickets in our first six overs, and then it was a difficult task for Pollard and Bravo to come and score at 12-13 runs an over. We just didn't bat well enough at the start. I think we as a batting team have to give ourselves a chance. We have different types of players and I can't tell them how to go about batting, but when you have a difficult pitch, you have to give yourselves a chance and capitalise in the end." Sammy is saying these wickets suit Asian teams touring the Caribbean, slow, dry surfaces that assist spin more than pace.

Umar Akmal is the Man of the Match.

Ali Imt: "Great series this was, pretty close contests. Wish there was a Test series as well, would have been the Icing on the cake."

Zulfiqar Babar, in his debut series, is the Player of the Series.

Hafeez comes up to collect the series trophy. "It was a tough tour, credit goes to the team and the coaches for their hard work. We did not play well in the last two tours so we needed this victory. Once we scored 135, we had four spinners in our team and we were confident. Thanks to Misbah, we got the momentum from the ODI series and carried it into the T20s. I'm really happy to see youngsters coming into the team, like Umar Amin. And Zulfiqar Babar also performed."

And that brings us to the end of this series. We hope you've enjoyed our coverage of it. That's all we've got for you today, thank you for all your emails. It's time to get some sleep. Cheers!

Sohail Tanvir to Best, 1 run, and that's that, Pakistan take the series 2-0. The last ball is carved out through cover for a single

The Pakistan players are allowing themselves a smile now.

Sohail Tanvir to Best, no run, it's a slower ball that nearly shaves leg stump after Best fails to connect with his swing

Gautam: "Its great to see Umar Akmal behind the stumps, energizing the team. Did very well with the bat too today. Been a while since a wicket-keeping Akmal did well for Pakistan on all fronts."

Sohail Tanvir to Best, no run, it's in the blockhole outside off stump, Best can't get bat on it and he swings his bat in frustration after missing the shot

Sohail Tanvir to Best, SIX, Best is reducing the margin of defeat here, he clears his front leg, gets under a slower ball and blitzes it over the straight boundary. Or have I spoken too soon?

Sohail Tanvir to Best, 2 runs, clears his front foot and slogs through midwicket, he's not timed it well so they can run two because the fielder has to run in from the boundary to get to the ball

Sohail Tanvir to Best, no run, the slower ball outside off stump, Best swings hard but misses

Sohail Tanvir to Badree, (no ball) 1 run, the first ball is a no ball, played to backward point for a single. Free-hit coming up. I'm not sure how that is a no ball. The back foot did not touch the side crease and the front foot was fine.

So West Indies need 23 runs off the last over ... a situation that could make heroes and villians.

Saeed Ajmal to Best, SIX, Best has hit this far enough! He charged the bowler and muscled the ball over Afridi's head on the long off boundary

Badree is the last man ...

Sri: "The top 4 WI batsmen scored 5 of 32 balls! You don't score that slow even in ODIs, much less in T20. They lost the match then and there. Late fireworks is for the crowd. WI can't from here."

Saeed Ajmal to Sammy, no run, this is such ridiculous cricket. Sammy tried to pull the ball over deep midwicket and ended up top edging it straight up in the air. the ball was landing in the middle of the pitch and both the bowler and the keeper went for the catch. They eventually bumped into each other and dropped it

Shahid Afridi to Barnwell, 1 run, OUT, Barnwell's been run out! He played the ball to deep midwicket and ran the single and then hared back for the second, putting in a desperate dive too. The throw from Azam was good and the keeper broke the stumps with Barnwell's stretched bat just short

Shahid Afridi to Barnwell, no run, Afridi thinks he's got him lbw and I think so too, but the umpire does not. Barnwell got down on one knee to slog sweep and missed. He was hit plumb in front on the back leg

Shahid Afridi to Barnwell, FOUR, I think that's missed everything, the bat, the pads and the keeper and run to the boundary. Apparently the batsman got a bit of an edge on that

Zulfiqar Babar to Bravo, OUT, after conceding all those runs, Babar's taken out both batsmen! Bravo made room and tried to clear the wide long-off boundary, he did not hit it far enough and Azam ran to his left from long off and took the catch. And just as quickly as the chase sparked to life, it has fizzled out ...

DJ Bravo c Hammad Azam b Zulfiqar Babar 35 (61m 44b 2x4 1x6) SR: 79.54

Zulfiqar Babar to Pollard, OUT, this time he holes out! Pollard made room by moving outside leg but instead of hitting straight, which is where he was aiming, he ended up slicing the ball over cover. Haris came in from the boundary and judged the catch well

KA Pollard c Haris Sohail b Zulfiqar Babar 23 (17m 10b 2x4 2x6) SR: 230.00

Zulfiqar Babar to Pollard, FOUR, that's a fine stop by Azam at long-off, but hang on, he fumbles it because of the speed of the ball and it goes over the boundary. Pollard had backed away to leg and hit the ball hard down the ground

Zulfiqar Babar to Pollard, SIX, they will need another ball now! This one has gone miles! Pollard charged the bowler again, got to the pitch of the ball and hammered it straight, and so high that it cleared the roof this time. They've got the old one back, so they will replace the new ball with the old ball
  • Akmal, bowlers give Pakistan T20 series

    Umar Akmal's 46 off 36 gave Pakistan the final surge to take them to 135, which their bowlers made look like 185 on a slow, dry and used pitch to give them the Twenty20 series to go with the ODI spoils
