Mirpur, Bangladesh: West Indies beat Pakistan by 85 runs and reached in semi finals of world cup T20 where they will play with Sri Lanka.

West Indies won the toss and choose to field first, at first they seemed to run short of 130 runs but Sammy and Bravo played well and put up the huge total of 166 runs. Bravo scored 46 runs from 26 balls by hitting 4 sixes and 2 fours whereas Sammy remained not out on 42 by hitting 2 sixes and 5 fours.

Pakistani bowlers became subdued, specially Saeed Ajmal and Umer Gul who gave away runs with the avg of 10.25 and 14.50 respectively.

On the other hand, Pakistani selectors have selected an odd team which consist of 7 bowlers and less all rounders and batsman.

Four of Pakistani main players were stumped out
The selection of Shoaib Malik, Sohail Tanvir and Kamran brothers was a big question mark for Pakistani spectators, especially Sohaib Malik who remained dull with his poor performance through out the series. The selection of Sohail Tanvir was also a question mark, who has been preferred in each series over other good bowlers with out any good performance. 

In my opinion, Sohail Tanvir and Shoaib Malik have no place in Pakistan team and same goes for Akmal brothers.

Pakistan opening batsman went out playing irresponsible shots by coming out of the crease and four of Pakistani players were stumped which was a equal the record ever made in T20s.
