HIGHLIGHTS

• The 4th T20I between Pakistan and West Indies was washed out on Tuesday
• West Indies were 30/0 in 3 overs when rain played spoilsport
• 3 T20Is were washed out due to rain in the 5-match series

Pakistan have sealed an unbeatable 1-0 lead in the rain-affected 5-match T20I series against West Indies. The visitors benefitted from rain washing out the 4th T20I on Tuesday at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.

Pakistan won the second game of the series by seven runs, while the other two were also called off due to rain. Only 3 overs were bowled in the match on Tuesday.

Put into bat by Pakistan skipper Babar Azam under overcast conditions, Chris Gayle and Andre Fletcher got the West Indies off to a brisk start, putting on 30 runs before a heavy downpour forced the umpires to take the players off.

After an initial inspection, the game was reduced to nine overs a side before any hopes of play were extinguished by another spell of rain.

“We couldn’t execute our plans, of course, because we didn’t have much cricket… we were looking to experiment ahead of the series, switching up batting positions. But the weather’s not in our control, sadly,” said Azam.

The two sides will play each other in a two-test series that begins at Jamaica’s Sabina Park on August 12.
