St. Lucia : West Indies pull off a Miracle tie against Pakistan here, as five match series is still leveled with two matches remaining.

Both Holder and Bravo of West Indies took 2 wickets each.

West Indies reply was not good as they lost 3 wickets on 50 runs with their main batsman back to pavilion, Samuels and Simmons build up the innings up to141 runs with 91 runs partnership.  Simmons scored 75 and Samuels scored 46 runs.

West Indies 9th wicket was fallen on 205 runs in 47.5 overs that means it was almost impossible for last wicket to get 25 more runs from 13 balls, but nothing is impossible in the game of cricket and Roch, Naraine and Holder played some huge and risky shots to level the score. 

Saeed Ajmal and Junaid khan took 3 wickets each. Again Wicket keeping by Umar Akmal was not up to the standard as he is not regular wicket keeper he missed some good chances along on the last ball when he missed the almost certain runout and gave one precious run to West Indies to equal the match.

Both Misbahul Haq from Pakistan and Simmons from West Indies were given Man of the Match award.

Wahab Riaz was most expensive bowler, Muhammad Hafeez and Shahid Afridi shared their 10 overs by 6 and 4 each.
