Farhan & Ayub’s Record Stand Powers Pakistan to T20 Series Triumph Over West Indies

Lauderhill, Florida – On a vibrant Sunday night under the Florida lights, Pakistan clinched a thrilling 13-run victory over the West Indies to seal the T20I series 2-1. The match was a high-octane decider, and Pakistan's opening duo—Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub—rose to the occasion with a sensational 138-run partnership that set the tone for the win.

After opting to bat first, Pakistan unleashed a dominant batting display. Farhan was fearless in his approach, smashing 74 runs off 53 balls, including five towering sixes and three boundaries. Partnering him, the elegant left-hander Saim Ayub played a composed knock of 66 off 49 deliveries, anchoring the innings deep into the 19th over.

Though Pakistan lost a few quick wickets in the final stretch, the damage had been done. With 189/4 on the board, the visitors had set a daunting target.

West Indies Falter Despite Rutherford’s Late Fireworks

Chasing 190 for victory, the West Indies came out swinging—literally. The hosts blasted 30 runs in the first 10 balls, signaling intent early on. But Haris Rauf and Mohammad Nawaz tightened things up with timely breakthroughs.

The turning point came when Ayub caught and dismissed Shai Hope for just 7, and Pakistan started pulling the strings. Alick Athanaze did fight back with a valiant 60-run effort, but with the required run-rate climbing, the pressure mounted.

Jason Holder, West Indies’ hero from the previous match, was cleaned up for a duck by Sufiyan Muqeem. And though Sherfane Rutherford played a blazing knock of 51 runs, his efforts weren’t enough as West Indies fell short, finishing on 176/9 in their 20 overs.

Series Win and Statement Made

This win wasn’t just about numbers—it was a statement. Pakistan not only bounced back from a disappointing loss in the second match but did so with flair and control. Farhan’s return to form, Ayub’s consistency, and the bowlers’ execution in crunch moments showcased the depth and balance of this Pakistani squad.

As the series wraps up with Pakistan emerging victorious, all eyes now turn to their next challenge. But for now, the Men in Green will savor this well-earned triumph on American soil.

🏏 Key Highlights:

  • 138-run opening stand – Farhan & Ayub dominate

  • Farhan: 74 (53) | Ayub: 66 (49)

  • Rutherford: 51 (WI)

  • Series result: Pakistan wins 2-1
