Live action in the Future Cup ODI Series between Pakistan and West Indies got off today to a rocking start in the newly built ground in Abu Dhabi. I watched the match live on TV on Ten Sports – regarding watching the match live or for streaming info, please share info in the comments area below.

In the 1st One Day of the Future Cup, West Indies batted first and powered by Captain Chris Gayle’s sixes and fours, West Indies got off to a great start. Gayle scored a great 100 and West Indies should have scored more than the 294 which they finally did. At one stage, they looked set for a score in excess of 330, but that was not to be. The last 5 batsmen collected only 17 runs between them, and besides Gayle who scored 113 and Sarwan who scored 55, no one gave the right support that was required to take the score beyond 300 and more. However, the score looked good enough till the day’s final over was bowled!

Pakistan got off to a sedate start, with Salman Butt especially struggling to connect. It was captain Shoaib Malik who gave the Pakistan innings the required thrust with a brisk 66 off 50 balls. However the West Indies looked in control of the cricket match throughout the game, untill hell broke loose in the last over. Pakistan required 17 runs off the last over, and when Fawad Alam took a single off the first ball, 16 runs off 5 balls were required and West Indies looked firm favourites. But then Kamran Akmal sent Jerome Taylor packing for two consecutive sixes to turn the match on its head, and give Pakistan a 1-0 lead in the Future Cup.

The 2nd Future Cup Pakistan vs West Indies ODI is on 14th November. You can watch the cricket match live from 11:00 am GMT. Please share live cricket info in the comments area below.
