Pakistan v West Indies Cricket World Cup Match Report
Mohammad Hafeez and Kamran Akmal had no trouble at all in knocking off a modest 113-run target inside just 21 overs, finishing on 61 not out and 47 not out respectively.
The Windies did their valiant best to stave off the inevitable, but with seamers Ravi Rampaul and Kemar Roach carted to all corners of the Shere Bangla National Stadium and leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo unable to stem the tide, easy victory was there for the taking for Shahid Afridi's men.
17 boundaries and a multitude of 'what ifs' later, the Windies unceremoniously crashed out of the tournament despite having performed consistently well throughout the group stages. In short, they failed to rock up for the big occasion.
Earlier Afridi's four-for and two scalps apiece from fellow spinners Saeed Ajmal and Man of the Match Hafeez reduced their opposition to a lame 112 all out.
The islanders' decision to bat first backfired entirely, with only Shivnarine Chanderpaul's dogged 44 not out saving them from a sub-100 score.
The men from the Caribbean had initially lost kingpin Chris Gayle for just eight and the in-form Devon Smith for seven, leaving Afridi and company to cash in across a brittle middle- through lower-order.
The writing was on the wall at 16 for three and at 71 for eight Darren Sammy's men were all set for a mere double-figure score. However, Chanderpaul, with tail-ender Roach (16) along for the ride, added 40 runs for the ninth wicket.
Leg-spinner Afridi, the top wicket-taker of the tournament by a long shot, bowled with guile and confidence across a slow Dhaka track and was well complemented by the Hafeez's economy and Ajmal's masterful doosra.
The Windies are left to lament the lack of positive contribution with bat or ball from captain Sammy, who endured a torrid World Cup campaign, and the waning form of veterans Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan, whose respective careers are now under severe fire.
A rejuvenated Pakistan unit, meanwhile, having endured a series of unsettling events off the field, are now just two matches away from repeating the heroics of Imran Khan's team 1992 glory.
