PAK vs WI 1st T20I: Rizwan, Wasim shine as Pakistan crush West Indies by 63 runs

Pakistan became the first men's cricket team to register 18 wins in a calendar when they crushed West Indies by 63 runs in the first T20I of three-match series on Monday.

Mohammad Rizwan smashed 78 runs while Haider Ali scored a career-best 68 off 39 balls as Pakistan posted 200-6 after being sent in to bat.

In reply, West Indies bundled out for 137 runs in 19 Overs. Shai Hope with 31 off 26 balls was the highest run-getter for the visitors as they were never on course to chase the big total. Pakistani pacer Mohammad Wasim was the pick of the bowlers and took 4 wickets while conceding 40 in his 4 Overs.

Pakistan's dominance in the T20Is can easily be evaluated by their stats. They bowled out oppositions 35 times in the shortest format of cricket.
