Champions Trophy: Pakistan vs West Indies - Statistical highlights

After a high-scoring opening match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, the second match, played between West Indies and Pakistan, was a low-scoring affair. Pakistan were put in to bat by the West Indies and lost quick wickets; however, a partnership between Jamshed and captain Misbah steadied the ship. Misbah played a captain’s knock, being unbeaten on 96 and Pakistan were all out for 170. West Indies, chasing a small total, also lost 8 wickets before finally winning the match
