When Pakistan were playing against a weakened West Indies side in the 2015 World Cup, it was obvious that they were the favorites. When Pakistan opted to bowl against West Indies, no one imagined that West Indies would muster 310 on the board.

Pakistanis have a history of capitulating in a run chase and they tried their best in doing that. They lost Nazir Jamshed of the second delivery and lost Younis Khan by the end of the first over bowled by Jerome Taylor. The scoreboard read 1 for 2, with Ahmed Shehzad scoring the solitary single.

When Taylor returned to bowl the second over, he accounted for Haris Sohail which worsened the scorecard to 1 for 3 at the end of the 3rd over. To make matters worse Ahmed Shehzad, got out to Jason Holder, and the scorecard became 1 for 4.

However Umar Akmal and Sohaib Maqsood had useful partnerships and Pakistan reached 160 and handed West Indies a thumping 150 run win.
