Group D, Match 1, PAK vs WI: West Indies beat Pakistan by 54 runs
West Indies made a winning start in the 2007 Cricket World Cup beating Pakistan by 54 runs in the opener at Sabina Park, Jamaica on Tuesday.Chasing 242 to win, Pakistan were bundled out for 187 runs in 47.2 overs. Dwayne Smith and Dwayne Bravo were the pick of the West Indian bowlers, taking three wickets each. Smith also made a valuable contribution with the bat as he scored 36 runs from just 15 balls at the end of the West Indies innings. Reported Earlier: West Indies were restricted to 241 for nine by Pakistan in the opening match of the 2007 Cricket World Cup at Sabina Park, Jamaica on Tuesday.
Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq won the toss and elected to field a decision that proved effective with Umar Gul sending back the dangerous Chris Gayle in the third over. The Southpaw was caught behind by Kamran Akmal for two. Akmal was involved in the dismissal of three more West Indies batsmen.
Gul, who at the later stages of the match added the scalp of Dwayne Smith to his tally, was unlucky not to get the wicket of Ramnaresh Sarwan after dismissing Gayle. Younis Khan was the culprit, dropping a sharp chance at second slip. Sarwan and Chanderpaul then put on 57 runs for the second wicket before the southpaw was caught by Akmal off Rao Iftikhar Anjum for 19. The bowler then scalped Sarwan for 49, caught at slip bY Younis Khan.
Marlon Samuels and Brian Lara brought about a recovery in the West Indian innings and later tore into the Pakistan spinners. The two put on 91 runs before Mohammad Hafeez removed the Windies skipper and Samuels in quick succession. Lara made 37 (3x4, 1x6) and Samuels - who brought up his 13th ODI fifty - finally fell for 63 from 70 balls (5x4,3x6).
Denesh Ramdin's birthday was spoilt by Danish Kaneria, stumped by Akmal for one. Dwayne Smith put on a spirited display hitting a quickfire 32 from 15 balls before he holed out to Inzamam off Gul. Taylor was run out for two and Dwayne Bravo made 16. For Pakistan, Iftikhar Anjum picked up three wickets, while Hafeez and Gul picked up two each.
