West Indies captain Nicholas won the toss and opted to bowl first in the first T20I against Pakistan at the National Stadium in Karachi today.
Babar Azam departs for a duck! A nicely tossed up delivery, on off. Babar Azam presses forward to defend but the ball turns away and catches the outside edge of his blade and goes back to Shai Hope behind the stumps. He takes a fine catch and Akeal Hosein sends back the No.1 T20I batter for a duck.
Here are the XIs:
Pakistan: 1 Babar Azam (capt), 2 Mohammad Rizwan (wk), 3 Fakhar Zaman, 4 Haider Ali, 5 Iftikhar Ahmed, 6 Asif Ali, 7 Shadab Khan, 8 Mohammad Nawaz, 9 Mohammad Wasim Jr, 10 Haris Rauf, 11 Shaheen Shah Afridi
