**[City, Date]** – In a nail-biting encounter, the West Indies defeated Pakistan by two wickets in the second T20I to level the three-match series 1-1. The match, filled with twists and turns, went down to the final ball, with the West Indies overcoming a shaky start to chase down Pakistan’s score of 133/9.

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat, but their innings never truly gained momentum. Early wickets put them on the back foot, with only captain Salman Agha (38) and Hasan Nawaz (40) providing significant contributions. Jason Holder was the pick of the West Indies bowlers, claiming 4 wickets for 19 runs, while Gudakesh Motie took 2.

The West Indies’ chase began disastrously, with half the team back in the pavilion with just 70 runs on the board. It looked like another defeat was on the cards. However, a crucial late partnership between Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd brought them back into contention.

The final over started with West Indies needing 8 runs to win. After a single off the first delivery, Shepherd was out LBW leaving 7 runs to win from 4 balls. From here on West Indies stole singles until the equation reached 3 runs off 1 ball. Then lady luck shined as the final ball went wide levelling the scores. Finally, Holder then struck a boundary to seal the victory in dramatic fashion.

Holder’s all-round performance earned him the Player of the Match award.

The series is now evenly poised, with everything to play for in the final T20I.
