Sat Feb 21 WI 310/6 (50 ov) PAK 160 (39 ov) Pool B, Hagley Oval, Christchurch W L AD Russell

Russell 42 * (13), Simmons & Sammy pummelled the Pakistan bowling attack in the last ten overs to bring up the 300 which looked very unlikely earlier. This period of play saw the West Indies score more than over a hundred runs. Samuels & Bravo together put up a gentle partnership steadying the ship after a shaky 28/2 in 8 overs.

Pakistan lost the plot in the first 10 overs - to be fair the first 4 overs itself. What was the Pakistan top order thinking? Did Taylor & Holder look like Walsh & Ambrose to them? 1/4 in 3.1 overs - They never recovered from there. Andre Russell, the player of the match, picked 3 wickets & that summed up his perfect day. Expect Pakistan to beat UAE comfortably, but the Ireland & Zimbabwe game could get tricky. Come on green shirts. Where's the spirit of 92?
