Kamran Akmal hit two sixes in paceman Jerome Taylor’s last over to help Pakistan beat the West Indies by four wickets in a dramatic finish to the first day-night international at Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
Chasing a daunting 295, Pakistan needed a tough 17 off the 50th over, but Akmal hit the second and third ball for sixes to give his team an unexpected win with a nine-ball 24 not out to overshadow Chris Gayle’s brilliant century.

Akmal walked in at the fall of Shoaib Malik’s wicket whose enterprising 50-ball 66 nearly ended in vain but Akmal and Alam notched 33 needed off the last three overs to give Pakistan a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
