Summary Bravo's quick knock 48 runs of 27 balls included five fours and three sixes.


GROS ISLET, St. Lucia (AP) - Captain Dwayne Bravo hit a rapid 48 and guided West Indies to 242-7 in the fifth and final one-day international against Pakistan on Wednesday.


Bravo s knock off 27 balls included five fours and three sixes after Pakistan fast bowlers Junaid Khan (3-48) and Mohammad Irfan (2-34) had mopped up the top order and restricted West Indies to 170-6 in the 45th over.


But Bravo dominated a 53-run seventh wicket stand with former captain Darren Sammy (29 not out) to give West Indies hope of leveling the five-match series it trails 2-1.


Marlon Samuels (45) and opening batsman Johnson Charles (43) also made useful contributions, but Chris Gayle s disappointing series ended when he was brilliantly snapped up for 21 by wicketkeeper Umar Akmal with his right hand over his head.
