Pakistan started their ICC World T20 campaign on a positive note by winning their first warm up match against Windward Island by 68 runs.
Pakistan were in early trouble after being put in to bat but Mohammad Hafeez struck 57 to propel the defending champions to 160 for seven at the end of the 20 overs.
The visitors were also helped by a short cameo (17 off eight balls) by Misbah-ul-Haq.
Afridi’s men made a poor start losing openers Salmaan Butt and Kamraan Akmal in the initial overs. However, the skipper with Fawad Alam provided some momentum, scoring a 20 each in quick time.
Chasing a stiff target, Windward Island were never in the game once they lost their skipper Johnson Charles to Mohammad Aamer for just 15. All the Pakistani bowlers ended up having a good work-out with Aamer, Afridi , Seed Ajmal and Hafeez picking a scalp each. Keddy Lesporis top scored with 24 for Windward Island.
