Pakistan team coach Moin Khan Wednesday said his team was blown away in the last five overs by the West Indies, costing them a place in the World Twenty20 semi-finals.
The West Indies blasted 82 runs in the last five overs to recover from a struggling 84-5 in the 15th over to finish with a formidable 166-5 in their allotted 20.
On the other hand, Pakistan were bowled out for a paltry 82 in 17.5 overs to bow out of the event, failing to reach the semi-finals for the first time in five tournaments.
Khan said the West Indies, who are defending champions, were ruthless in the last five overs.
“They took away the game in the last five overs,” Khan told the media
Bravo hit a 26-ball 46 with four sixes and two boundaries while Sammy scored a fiery 20-ball 42 not out with two sixes and five fours which made for West Indies’ poor batting start.
Off-spinner Saeed Ajmal went for 41 in his four overs, only the second time he conceded more than 40 in a Twenty20 match.
