2019 World Cup, Match 2, WI vs PAK: Thomas, Gayle shine in West Indies' comprehensive 7-wicket win

West Indies registered a comprehensive 7-wicket victory over Pakistan in their first game of World Cup 2019.

The Windies skittled out Pakistan for 105 in 21.4 overs — the team's second-lowest total in the history of the tournament.

Oshane Thomas had 4-27, Jason Holder took 3-42, and wicketkeeper Shai Hope took four catches for the West Indies.

Gayle then played a starring role in the run chase, plundering 3 sixes and 6 fours in the only half-century of the match. 

Pakistan slumped to an 11th straight loss in ODIs, unable to recover from a short-ball barrage from West Indies.
