Pakistan were clean swept by West Indies 0-3, but the contest was not as one-dimensional as the scoreline suggests. They lost the first game by 10 runs. In the second, Pakistan needed 23 in 13 balls with two set batters on the crease, but rain brought DLS Method into play, and they ended up losing by seven runs.
