Two Dwayne's enough for Pakistan

Good match to begin with. West Indies somewhat showed that they have home advantage. Bowling magnificantly to defend a meager total of 241. Highlight of the match was the performances from Dwayne Bravo and Dwayne Smith. Both of them shared 6 wickets and quick fire 40 odd runs to give that little edge over Pakistan.

Pakistan on the other hand played over cautiously and in the end had to chase with a huge asking rate. Parternership between Inzy and Yousouf proved a waste. I think Pakistan should play Shahid Afridi. He is a make or break batsman. But if he makes, he breaks the opposition. Well they have a lot to think about but they are certain to reach round 2 where actually things get hot. The match however proved great to the local crowd. Its always good for the tournament if the local team advances.
