"Nicholas Murali Pooran": Ian Bishop's Cheeky Tweet After West Indies Skipper Takes 4 Wickets vs Pakistan

Nicholas Pooran had bowled just three deliveries in 42 ODIs before Sunday. But in the third and final ODI against Pakistan in Multan, the West Indies limited overs captain took matters into his own hands and spun a web around the Pakistan batters, finishing with four wickets from his 10 overs. And it's not like he went after tail-enders. His list of victims comprised of openers Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman, the in-form Mohammad Rizwan and middle order newcomer Mohammad Haris.

3rd ODI: Shadab Khan excels with all-round show as Pakistan sweep West Indies 3-0

Shadab Khan hit a fighting half century before taking four wickets to anchor Pakistan's 53-run win over the West Indies in the third and final day-night international in Multan which was interrupted by a dust storm. Shadab hit 86 to lift Pakistan to 269-9 after unlikely West Indian hero Nicholas Pooran grabbed four wickets to leave the home team struggling at 117-5. Opener Imam-ul-Haq scored a brilliant 68-ball 62 but there was a rare failure for world number one ODI batsman Babar Azam who fell for one off three balls. Shadab's leg-spin then fetched 4-62 to dismiss the visitors for 216 in 37.2 overs, giving Pakistan 30 invaluable points in the ODI Super League, a qualification round for next year's World Cup in India. The 3-0 clean-sweep lifted Pakistan to 90 points, fourth in the 13-team ODI League table while the West Indies are fifth with 80.

Watch: How Shaheen Afridi Perfectly Set Up Shai Hope In Brilliant 1st Over

Shaheen Shah Afridi has developed a habit of giving Pakistan early breakthroughs, especially in the limited-overs formats. In the second ODI against West Indies, the left-arm pacer delivered in the very first over of the visitors' chase as he dismissed the in-form Shai Hope for just four runs. Shaheen bowled five in-swingers on the trot to Hope, who had scored a brilliant century in the first ODI, and the opener even flicked one away for a boundary. But then, the pacer moved the final delivery away from Hope and the opener could only give the cover fielder a simple catch as he was caught at the crease without any foot movement.
