**Pakistan Defeats West Indies by 14 Runs in First T20I, Extends West Indies’ Losing Streak**
**New Delhi -** Pakistan secured a 14-run victory over the West Indies in the first T20 International, taking a 1-0 lead in the series. The win was largely fueled by a brilliant half-century from Saim Ayub, whose aggressive batting set the tone for the Pakistani innings.
Ayub smashed 57 runs off just 38 balls, including five fours and two sixes, providing the early momentum Pakistan needed. Fakhar Zaman (28) and Hasan Nawaz (24) contributed valuable runs to help Pakistan reach a total of 178 for 6 in their 20 overs. Shamar Joseph was the pick of the West Indies bowlers, taking three wickets.
In response, the West Indies struggled to build partnerships and ultimately fell short, managing only 164 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Johnson Charles and Andre Fletcher both scored 35, but captain Shai Hope’s disappointing score of 2, contributed to the collapse. Jason Holder contributed an unbeaten 30, but it wasn’t enough to get his team across the line. The loss marks the West Indies’ sixth consecutive defeat in T20I matches. This follows a recent 5-0 T20I series whitewash by Australia and a 3-0 defeat in the Test series.
