Pakistan vs West Indies, 1st ODI (Rescheduled match) - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That is it from game 1! Pakistan on expected lines have taken the lead but Windies did give them a scare. They just messed the crucial moments but a young team like theirs will learn. The second game is not too far away either. We will be there to roll out every detail. Till then tadaaaaaaaa!

Babar Azam: I always try to continue my game and work on my strengths. There was a little bit of a problem during the calling when I was batting with Imam. But it got better as the partnership moved on. The wicket was a little double-paced and wasn't that easy. There was heat but that is not an excuse. Credit to the bowlers. Shadab came back and did well. The standards he sets on the field is brilliant as well. Cricket is changing. We have to plan and play with a lot of intensity. Outstanding finish from Khushdil. You have to take it deep so that there is less pressure on the finishers.

Khushdil Shah: The situation I was in, I tried to take it deep. I have been working on my hitting for the last two years. The coaching camp in the last 10-12 days has helped. The coaches have helped me during this time. I was waiting for the balls to come to into my zone.

Babar Azam has given away his Man of the Match award to Khushdil Shah.

Nic Pooran: Proud of the guys. It was really hot today. Pakistan are a world-class team. Babar showed his class. Proud of the guys as they gave their all today. We tried to swing the ball upfront. There was no swing. Then we tried to bowl into the pitch. The wicket was pretty good even in the night. We are a young team and a young bowling lineup. We can only go forward. Hope is one of the best batters in this format.

00:41 Local Time, 19:41 GMT, 01:11 IST: Pakistan take a 1-0 lead. 10 super league points for them and Multan's wait for international cricket has ended with a wonderful win for Pakistan. Cricket returned to Multan after 14 years and the fans were treated with the runs coming at a fast clip. Hope got a classy ton only to be eclipsed by another fine one by the ton machine - Babar Azam. Windies did a decent job with the bat and the ball but fell short at crucial moments. Khushdil also played a blinder towards the end to tilt the game firmly in favour of the hosts. It went down to the wire and that's exactly what this format wants as well. Hang on for the presentation ceremony.
