But Pakistan lost the match by two wickets.
Pakistani batter Hassan Nawaz struck three consecutive over-boundaries off West Indies all-rounder Romario Shepherd in the second WI vs PAK T20I in Lauderhill. After winning the series opener by 14 runs, the visitors were off to a struggling start in this fixture, with three of their top four batters returning to the pavilion for single-digit scores.

Following a run-a-ball 20 (19) from Fakhar Zaman, the momentum started to shift during Nawaz’s 60-run partnership with skipper Salman Ali Agha. The 22-year-old was batting at 21 runs off 18 balls when he took on Shepherd in the 15th over of the innings to smack three successive sixes.
However, the veteran Windies all-rounder Jason Holder soon put an end to his innings with a swift caught and bowled before the youngster could manage a few more firing shots to escalate Pakistan’s total.
Watch Hassan Nawaz’s three consecutive sixes here:
A stunning bowling effort from the Caribbean restricted Pakistan to 133/9. Despite Nawaz’s fierce innings (40 off 23) at a strike rate of 173.91, Holder was the highlight of the first innings with his four-wicket haul alongside Gudakesh Motie, who struck in back-to-back deliveries to remove Pakistan’s captain Salman and Faheem Ashraf. However, a poor start in batting complicated their chances in a low-scoring contest.
But Holder once again proved to be the saviour for the West Indies when they needed three runs of the final ball. He hit a boundary to win the match by two wickets. The series decider will be played on August 4, at the same stadium.
ALSO READ:
The 22-year-old made his debut for Pakistan in the five-match away T20I series against New Zealand in March 2025. Since then, he has proved to be a valuable addition to the Men in Green’s squad in the shortest format of the game. Contradictorily, the batter has been dismissed for a duck five times in 13 matches so far.
He has also scored 324 runs in his short career span, at a blistering strike rate of 174.19. He has already whacked 25 maximums in the format. His heroics also include an unbeaten 105-run knock against the Black Caps in the third New Zealand vs Pakistan fixture. Interestingly, apart from this, he managed to score just one more run out of five matches of that series.
