Hasan Nawaz was the star of the show when Pakistani dough recorded the undefeated 63 and sewed together 104-run with Hussain Talat to help visitors cross the border in the first ODI. Pakistan won the match of five goals to take the lead in a series of three games on Friday 8th August.
West Indies launched 280 runs on the album, thanks to half shooting from Evin Lewis, Shai Hope and Roston Chase, but Pakistanian spinners ensured that the hosts were limited to a total below. Shaheen Shah Afridi (4 for 51) and NASEEM Shah (3 for 55) twisted the tail to limit Western India. The persecution of Pakistan was far from convincing because they tried well the pace of shift.
Babar Azam (47) and Mohammad Rizwan (53) got a good beginnings, but both men failed to earn. Rizwan still needed with 101 and Pakistan at the point of harassment before Nawaz got off next to Talat. Nawaz fought soon, but he was able to bounce and ride his happiness to work with the seven balls they saved. Talat remained undefeated to 41 of 37 balls.

Saim Ayub failed to give his party an ideal start when he died soon in persecution. Abdullah Shafique looked elegant largely in his shifts 29, but low reflection proved to be his enemy when Shamar Joseph withdrew an intelligent review.
The partnership of Babar and Rizwan began slowly because there was a sequence when they played 16 dot balls, the running rate was above 6. Hope turned to her spinning plants and Gudakesh Motie provided a breakthrough quickly with Babar’s goal. Salman Ali Agha did not last long because he threw a good start. Rizwan got to his fifty, but Shamar found a way to capture him before the stumps.
Nawaz debuted and Talat had played only one match before and the duo had to perform quickly. Nawaz had 3 out of 12 deliveries and hope at this point released a gold chance to release the dough. Happiness was still on the Nawaz side when 49 was again fallen by Motie. Until then, the tide changed and Nawaz and Talat attack on the pitch and entered into an agreement.
At the beginning of the day, the West India was inserted into Bat and Lewis and Keary Carta set up the platform well for the host. The duo ensured that Míra was above six at one point before Pakistan introduced his spirit. Another 27 exceeding after PowerPlay saw only one of the Faheem Ashraf when the sprockets rose into compression.
Lewis eventually dropped to 60 when he tried to attack Ayub, while Rutherford couldn’t make a stamp either. Hope and Chase were given a partnership, but compression of the spinning ensured that the running rate continued to descend.
At this point, Shaheen began to look for a reverse swing and continued the fight for the host because they regularly lost goals. Finally, Motie’s Cameo 31 out of 18 balls was needed to get to 280.
The second ODI between the two sides will be held on 10 August.
