Teenager Aamer, Gul rock Windies
Teenage paceman Mohammad Aamer and Umar Gul grabbed three wickets
apiece as Pakistan dismissed a depleted West Indies team for 133 in a
Champions Trophy match here on Wednesday.
Left-arm seamer Aamer, 17, finished with an impressive 3-24 off seven
overs in only his sixth one-day international, while fast bowler Gul
bagged 3-28 off eight overs as the West Indies failed to last their
quota of 50 overs.
Lower-order batsman Nikita Miller top-scored with a gutsy 51 for his
maiden half-century in one-day internationals. He smashed one six and
six boundaries in a 57-ball knock. Darren Sammy (25) and Devon Smith
(18) were the other batsmen to reach double-figures in a dismal
performance after the West Indies had elected to bat on a lively track
in the day-night match. The West Indies were in danger of falling below
the 100-mark when they are struggling at 47-7 before adding 86 for the
last three wickets, thanks to Miller and Sammy.
