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.

Left-arm spinner Nawaz then achieved career best bowling figures of 4-19 as the visitors were shot out for 155 in 32.2 overs. The win gives Pakistan an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series and their 10th consecutive ODI series win over the West Indies.

Pitch Invader Runs Up To Salute Pakistan Star. Watch His Heartwarming Reaction

Fans charging down to the playing area to meet their favourite cricketers is not something new, but this has reduced significantly as players have been living in a bio-bubble and fans are urged to maintain their distance. However, in the second ODI between Pakistan and West Indies, a fan ran out to the middle to salute all-rounder Shadab Khan while he was batting, and to everyone's surprise, the Pakistan vice-captain hugged him, prompting a huge cheer from the crowd.

Watch: Imam-ul-Haq's Angry Reaction After Mix-Up With Babar Azam Causes Run-Out

Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam put on a 120-run stand to steady Pakistan after Fakhar Zaman's early dismissal in the 2nd ODI against West Indies in Multan, but a mix-up between the two meant the former had to go back to the pavilion for a run-a-ball 72. In the 28th over, just after Babar had reached his half-century, Imam hit the ball towards midwicket off Akeal Hosein and took off for a single. Babar, however, was caught ball-watching and was not interested in the run at all, sending his partner back after he had almost reached the non-striker's end. As wicketkeeper Shai Hope took off the stumps before Imam could reach the crease, the opener angrily jammed his bat on the ground before walking off.

Babar joined forces with Imam after Fakhar Zaman was dismissed for 17 and the duo took the attack to the West Indies bowlers on a placid pitch almost immediately.
