West Indies were left reeling at 22 for 5 within the first five overs after being put into bat

Khalid Latif (R) and Babar Azam put on an unbeaten 88-run stand for the second wicket to seal Pakistan's victory.

West Indies got Sharjeel Khan in the powerplay but a target of 116 was always going to be too low.

Babar Azam scored a 37-ball 55 as Pakistan cantered to the target in 14.2 overs.
