Despite being affected by the COVID-19 scare, West Indies managed to play the final T20I match of 3 match series against Pakistan. However, the team failed to register a single win in the series and lost 3-0 to Men in Green. In the 3rd T20I, after winning the toss and opting to bat, West Indies posted a very challenging total of 207/3 at the end of 20 overs. However, despite posting a big total on board, West Indies bowlers failed to defend against Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. The opening pair proved to be too good for the Caribbean bowling attack. The 158-run opening partnership between the duo ensured a very convincing victory for Pakistan.
