Pakistan's bowlers set it up for their batsmen by restricting West Indies to 238 for 7. Naved-ul-Hasan led the effort by taking 4 for 43. Chanderpaul scored 101 but it just wasn't enough. Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal and Yasir Hameed scripted a comfortable run-chase. Pakistan have won the series 3-1. Do stay with me for the presentation ceremony ...
Rana Naved-ul-Hasan wins the Man-of-the-Match of the match award for his spell of 4 for 43, his dismissal of Brian Lara was the turning point of this game. What's more Rana Naved wins the Man-of-the series award as well.
Mohammad Yousuf picks up a sleek car for being the Most Valuable Player of the series and ... wait for it ... Inzamam-ul-Haq picks up the Best Fielder award ... no you haven't read wrong.
Pakistan head to South Africa from here while West Indies return home after spending several months on the road. The next time these two teams face each other will be in the World Cup opener in 2007.
Thats it from us at Cricinfo, I've enjoyed bringing you this game and I'm sure I speak for other commentators right through the series. Thank you for being with us, cheers!
