Summary Pakistan has won the toss and elected to field first. Nasir Jamshed in, Yasir Shah out.

LAHORE: (Web Desk) - The torture is over! Pakistan are all out for 160 and West Indies have beaten Pakistan comprehensively by 150 runs. Pakistan never looked convincing. Despite the early wickets during the first innings, West Indies was continually given help by Pakistan through dropped catches.

When Pakistan came on to bat in pursuit of 311, they were all set to lose it right from the start. Nasir Jamshed was gone for a golden duck. Another golden duck followed him in the same over. Younis Khan was the victim this time. Next over, Haris Sohail was gone for a duck as well. And ahmed Shehzad left the crease the very next over and before the end of the 3rd over, Pakistan were 1 for 4, which, by the way, is the worst ever start by any team in an ODI.

Misbah was quick to follow. At 25, however, he too laid his arms and Pakistan was in tatters at 25 for 5.

Sohaib Maqsood and Umar Akmal were able to put up an 80-run partnership. But after Sohaib left, there was no looking back. Pakistan were 160 for 10 in the end with Umar Akmal and Sohaib Maqsood being the only two serious contributors. Sohaib scored 50 and Umar Akmal scored 59.

Andre Russell was brilliant with the ball as well. He took 3 wickets along with Jerome Taylor, who actually initiated the most devastating West Indian spell in recent years. Suleiman Benn took two while Jason Holder and Darren Sammy took one wicket each.


Dunya news- Pakistan innings fall of wickets by dunyanews

This is what Pakistanis feel right now: Looking for a Hitler.

Shahid Afridi leaves as well. It was a soft dismissal. Jason Holder caught hold of one at the mid-off off Benn s bowling. Pakistan are now 157 for 9.

36 overs: Pakistan are 155 for 8.

Wahab Riaz departs as well. There was a bit of drama there but the third umpire felt that the catch was taken cleanly by the wicket-keeper Dinesh Ramdin. Pakistan are 155 for 8 now after 35.3 overs.

And those stubborn fans..

Shahid Afridi is still at the crease and there is hardly any excitement left in the game. There was enormous support for Pakistan in the ground today but the fans were thoroughly disappointed by the dismal performance that their side displayed.

33 overs: Pakistan are now 146 for 7. With Umar Akmal gone, it is probably just a matter of when, not what anymore.

Most of the tweeps, however, never ever had a hope.

And that s it! Umar Akmal has found the lone fielder on the entire leg side boundary. He s hit that one straight to Smith and he made no mistake. It was a good innings but just like all good and bad things, it has ended. Pakistan are now 139 for 7. Umar Akmal scored 59 off 71 before getting out.

Ever wondered what could be the limit of optimism? Here s the answer: Sky is the limit!

30 overs: Pakistan are 130 for 6. Umar Akmal is 51 off 65 and is still batting. Pakistan has taken the powerplay.

People seem impressed with what Umar Akmal has done so far..

 

Umar Akmal has completed his fifty too. It s been a very good innings. It is pertinent to mention here that West Indies had just 2 fifties in their innings and that too small ones (50 by Simmons and 51 by Ramdin) yet they were able to score 310. That proves that if everyone chips in, 300 isn t really a big total.

27 overs: Pakistan are now 110 for 6 with Shahid Afridi and Umar akmal still on the crease.

Partnership is broken at last. Sohaib Maqsood is gone as Suleman Benn has taken a brilliant catch diving full length. Pakistan are now 105 for 6. Sohaib Maqsood is gone and with him have gone Pakistan s last hopes as well.

There are still people like these in this world.

24 overs: After 24 overs, Pakistan are 95 for 5 now.

There are a few who are actually hoping against the hope.

21 overs: Pakistan are now 85 for 5. Is it still gettable? Is it? Hoping against the hope..

This one has just nailed it.. We hope so..

Pakistanis seem to be going through some kind of trauma.

18 overs: Pakistan are 70 for 5 now. Sohaib Maqsood and Umar Akmal seem to be trying but this is probably too little too late in the day.

Pakistanis finally had something to cheer as Sohaib Maqsood hits a boundary and a six. Pakistan are now 61 for 5 after 16 overs.

Tears .... Tatters .... Tortured .... Looking for more words to describe what Pakistanis are feeling right now.

15 overs: Pakistan are 50 for 5 after 15 overs. Yes, 50 is up!

An odd boundary and a very odd six have taken Umar Akmal s score to 13 off 11. This is about 2.6 runs more than his average (10.4) in his last 5 innings.

 

Shoaib Akhtar has all the right to be extremely disappointed over this pathetic performance by the top order.

12 overs: Pakistan are 27 for 5 after 12 overs. Is it going to be a quick finish?

The lucky ones....

Misbah, the skipper, is gone too. Now Pakistan are 25 for 5 after 10.3 overs.

This is the worst start by any team ever in a One-Day International (ODI). Previous worst was 4 for 4 by Canada some six years ago.

9 overs: Pakistan are 17 for 4 and struggling to get to somewhere less embarrassing than this.

Fans were definitely disappointed. They hadn t remained awake just to see this slaughtering.

Pakistani tweeps, however, were furious over this selection.

6 overs: Pakistan are finally ahead of the number of wickets fallen. They are now 8 for the loss of 4 wickets.

This is on the cards too.

While Pakistan is nowhere near a chase anymore, there is a huge scope for being thrashed by the twitterati now..

This actually is startling.

Record in making? Maybe..

3 overs: Pakistan have lost 3 wickets and have scored lesser runs. In fact, RUN. Yes, they are 1 for 3.

Pakistan have lost Ahmed Shehzad too. They are now 4 down for 1.

And Haris Sohail is gone too. Pakistan are 1 for 3 and there is a third duck.

Tweeps were livid with this performance.

Younis Khan leaves too. First ball and he s gone. It s 1 for the loss of 2 now and Pakistan are in all sorts of trouble. It s not been an over as yet and they have already lost the first two.

And straight away, there s a wicket. Nasir Jamshed goes first ball and Pakistan are struggling right from the first ball of the innings. They are one down and there s no hint of score on the board as yet.

Pakistan comes on to bat with 311 on the board to be chased down. This is going to be some task for sure.

Pakistan will be coming out to bat shortly. We ll keep you updating. Here are the catches dropped during the innings by Pakistani fielders.

Here is West Indian fall of wickets

50 overs: West Indies have put up a massive 310 and Pakistan will surely have to bat brilliant to chase this down.

Pakistan have always been bad chasers. And it s a massive total to be chased down. There seems to be little hope, if any.

West Indies has had enough finally. They have scored 310 for the loss of 6 wickets in their 50 overs. Russell was cruel at the end of the innings. He scored 42 runs off just 13 balls and remained unbeaten.

Adding insult to the injury, this parody account continued to mock at Pakistan.

Simmons completes his 50. He has completed it in just 46 balls with the help of 4 boundarieas and a six.

That s massive! Out of the stadium. Russell seems to be out to murder Pakistani bowlers. 3 sixes off that last over.

48 overs: 271 for 5. Russell has taken off exactly from where Sammy had left.

The dangerous Sammy is gone as Shahid Afridi finally gets hold on to one of them. Wahab Riaz was the bowler and Sammy scored 30 off 27. That was certainly a very useful contribution to the West Indian cause. West Indies are now 259 for 5.

Some of them thought Pakistani fieldsmen were handikapped or something probably.

Even common men could catch few of them. This is what this Noreen thinks.

251 comes up for the West Indies. They are 251 for 4 now after 46.2 overs.

Irfan has dropped another one at the third man. This is Pakistan s 5th for the day. This cannot get any worse than this.

No hopes whatsoever for Pakistanis in the field now.

Wahab Riaz has been brought back into the attack and he has started off with 5 wides as Umar Akmal could get nowhere near it despite the attempt.

45 overs: West Indies are 231 for 4 and it s acceleration time now.

Mohammad Irfan has also finished his quota of 10 overs. He took one wicket in his spell and gave away 44 runs. It was the all important Gayle wicket that he took.

Ahmed Shehzad almost laid his life down to stop that one. How? This tweet explains...

Poor poor poor fielding. Pakistan continues to suffer from poor fielding as Mohammad Irfan failed to come down to the ball before it reached the boundary.

42 overs: West Indies are 216 for 4. There were 2 boundaries and a six in the 42nd over.

Nasir Jamshed can bat at any number according to the latest update. Third Umpire has said that he got an injury while trying to catch the ball and as it was an external injury, he can bat at any number.

Shahid Afridi is done with his quota of 10 overs and has not been able to get any wickets. He gave away 48 runs in his 10.

Finally, Pakistan gets its fourth wicket. Ramdin was brilliant for his 51 but Sohail Khan has now undone him and West Indies are 194 for 4 after 39.5 overs. 

Ramdin completes his 50. A brilliant innings that is, under pressure.

 

Dropped chances have literally shattered Pakistanis  confidence.

39 overs: West Indies are 188 for 3 after 39 overs and Misbah seems to be out of choices.

Another news from the middle is that Bravo won t be able to move with ease as his hamstring is going to be strapped.

Ramdin continues to punish Pakistani bowlers and fans alike.

Massive attendance at Hagley Oval, Christchurch today.

36 overs: After 36 overs, West Indies are 167 for 3 and are all set for a huge total.

News from the middle right now is that Nasir Jamshed has been off the field for quite some time now and will not be able to open the innings for Pakistan.

Wahab Riaz is doing some excellent stuff here. Despite a few catches dropped off his bowling, he has given 27 off just 27 runs and conceded only 1 run in that last one. West Indies now 157 for 3 after 34 overs. Sohail Khan has been introduced into the attack now.

33 overs: West Indies are 156 for 3 and the first two overs of the powerplay haven t really been great. 5 runs off the first 2 overs.

DM Bravo has got retired hurt after Ahmed Shehzad incidentally hit his leg while trying to get him run out. He had earlier received a throw right into his hand by Shahid Afridi.

Tweeps criticized Pakistan s fielding heavily, and rightly so.

Ramdin gets 4 boundaries in the 31st over. West Indies seem to be cruising along now.

Nobody seems to be happy here. At least nobody in Pakistan.

30 overs: West Indies are 133 for the loss of 3 wickets. Runs are coming freely now.

Back to back boundaries for Dinesh Ramdin. And again, Shahid Afridi was unable to cope with the ball at the boundary. He s not having a great day in the fielf for sure.

27 overs: West Indies are 119 for 3. Pakistan s fielding is below par even according to Pakistani standards.

Pakistanis felt let down as Shahid Afridi drops yet another catch. This is his second while Pakistan s fourth today.

Tweeps celebrate Samuels s wicket.

Pakistan gets the third wicket as Yasir Shah catches Marlon Samuels at the long on boundary off Haris Sohail s bowling. West Indies are now 103 for 3.

24 overs: West Indies now 103 for 2.

21 overs: West Indies are 91 for 2.

Shahid Afridi drops Marlon Samuels on the last ball of 19th over. Bowler Wahab Riaz is disappointed on the effort.

18 Overs: 83/2, Bravo and Samuels on crease.

15 Overs: 69/2, Umpire Nigell Long gets it wrong two consecutive deliveries. Darren Bravo still on crease after a successful review. 

Afridi and Wahab Riaz on attack.

Shahid Afridi was hating it when the umpire got it entirely wrong as the ball clipped Bravo s pad on its way to the boundary but umpire gave it as 5 wides while on the very next ball, the umpire got it wrong again when he gave Bravo out. The decision was reversed however, by the third umpire on review. 

Some interesting moments were to be seen in the crowd..

Spinners are on and West Indies seems to be getting hold of it now. They are 62 for the loss of 2 after 14 overs.

12 Overs: 52-1. Marlon Samuels on song, scoring runs at greater than run-a-ball. Shahid Afridi and Sohail Khan bowling in tandem.

 This Nasir Jamshed parody account tweeted some excellent tweets, making everyone fall off the seats, laughing.

 

Pakistani tweeps mocked at Nasir Jamshed as he dropped the catch and is still in the pavilion getting medical help as he injured his finger while dropping it.

Sohail Khan celebrates Smith s wicket..

9 Overs: 38-2, Marlon Samuels hits Ifran for consecutive fours of the last overs. 

Pakistan gets the second one as Smith edges one by Sohail Khan to the second slip where Haris Sohail takes a simple catch. West Indies now 28 for 2 after 7.5 overs.

Sohail Khan bowled a brilliant maiden over just after Irfan s wicket-taking over. Keeping the pressure up.

6 Overs: 17-1. Gayle out, Dwayne Smith and Darren Bravo in. Irfan troubling batsman with short length deliveries.

Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) MPA Hina Pervez Butt was jubilant.

But the very next ball the danger man, Chris Gayle, skied one up while trying to hook one out of the park and Wahab Riaz made no mistake. West Indies are 17 for 1. Irfan strikes.

And Nasir Jamshed drops a sitter at the third man s position. Injured his finger and Michael Holding was spot on when he said, "This has added insult to the injury". Nasir moves out of the ground, Yasir Shah comes in to field for him. Smith gets a new life.

Dunya TV is going to retweet every tweet with the hashtag #CricketDewangi

Pakistanis felt they had a better chance of winning this game.

3 overs : 13-0.; Batsman off to a shaky start. Bowler Sohail Khan swinging the bowl effectively.

Ball is swinging wildly and has gone past the edge twice in the first 8 balls while took the outside edge and went for four on the first ball of the innings.

Pakistan s key to success in today s game: Shahid Afridi

Pakistan has won the toss in its second encounter of the World Cup 2015 and has decided to bowl first against West Indies at Hagley Oval Stadium, Christchurch. Skipper Misbahul Haq said while talking to Ramiz Raja after the toss that Nasir Jamshed has been inducted into the side while Yasir Shah is going to rest in this game.

Earlier, Wasim Akram and Scott Styris analyzed the pitch and said that any side winning the toss should bowl first as there was a lot of grass on the pitch and the batsmen were expected to face problems, especially early in the innings.
