Commentary

Once again, a reminder if you haven't come across it yet. The ODI series has been postponed to June 2022 after the COVID outbreak in the West Indian squad. That will bring an end to the cricketing calendar for these two sides. Also, time for us to call it a night then! We hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. This is Pratyush Rohra, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Prashanth Satish. Stick around to Sportskeeda to keep up with all the sporting updates from around the globe. Also, a gentle reminder to mask up and stay safe, folks. Goodnight!

Pakistan receive the T20 trophy with their clean sweep tonight. As is the norm, Babar hands the trophy to the most inexperienced member of the squad, Shahnawaz Dahani. Wasim and the other youngsters are in and around, of course. All smiles there with Pakistan wrapping up their historic year in T20Is with a win.

Babar Azam (Pakistan captain): Our plan was to play according to the situation. Rizwan and I wanted to take it till the end and carry the momentum until the end. The boys performed really well in the match. Shaheen and Haris in the first two games. Dahani, Wasim and Hasnain in this game. Our bench was ready for the chances we gave them and that's really pleasing for me as a captain. T20 is a tough game, the runs keep coming and 200 is breached more often than not now. We are preparing for the World Cup. Full credit goes to the team. The kind of form Rizwan is in and the way he has established himself, the youngsters can learn so much for him.

Nicholas Pooran (West Indies captain): I felt like the last two overs, we lost some momentum. Pakistan bowled brilliantly and bowled wonderfully at the back end. We were probably 20 short. It was pretty tough with the virus. Most of us didn't get much sleep last night. I'm really proud of the guys for them to come out and putting in such a good performance today. We'll take a lot of positives out of this series. We went from strength to strength against a quality side. This is a special group of guys here that competed throughout and we are very proud of them tonight.

Mohammad Rizwan is the Player of the Match and the Player of the Series: Chasing 200 is always a big target in T20s. Our coach told us to use the powerplays better than the West Indians. Once we did that, it was much easier. I haven't looked back at my year. I just keep looking to do my best match per match and the rest is god's grace. I like playing through the leg side. I practice all these shots, pull, sweep and all. The rewards are there to see.

Pakistan won by 7 wickets.

It's a clean sweep for the hosts then and the scoreline does justice to the performances they've put in this series. Against an injury and covid-stricken West Indian side, they've commanded their authority to complete a dominant display throughout the three matches.

Chasing a target of 208 is never an easy one to chase down, regardless of the conditions, but Pakistan made it look like a walk in the park. Babar and Rizwan did most of the damage upfront to 158-run stand to set the platform, while Fakhar and Asif Ali provided the finishing touches to seal the deal.

This is Pakistan's 20th T20I win in 2021, which tells you all you need to know really. The opening partnership alongside their dominant bowling has laid the platform for them to approach this format in their own manner, which has been very successful for them in recent times.

As for the West Indies, their young squad will have plenty of learnings to take from this contest. The likes of Brandon King and Shamarh Brooks were impressive in the batting department. The bowling will have more experience to take rather than notable performances, but the likes of Odean Smith, Dominic Drakes and Rovman Powell showed some promise for what the future might hold for the Windies.

A whitewash for the home side then. Remember, the ODI series has been called off. So, this was the final match of this series. Stick around to see what the captains have to say in the presentation...

That will be that then! That dropped catch sums up the T20 leg of this tour for the West Indies. Their skipper spoke about how this young side missed out on certain opportunities in crucial stages of matches. That'll go down as a learning experience for them. For now, they've been brushed aside by this dominant Pakistan side, who win by 7 wickets and sweep the series 3-0.

18.5 Romario Shepherd to Asif Ali, not the best way to end the game but Pakistan seal the series 3-0. Full-length ball on middle stump line, Asif sends this one straight down to long on but that is a free hit and would not have mattered even if it was taken but that will do for Asif

No ball for height! Scores are level. Free-hit for Pakistan to seal the game.

18.5 Romario Shepherd to Asif Ali, FOUR! Easy pickings this, full toss around the hips, and Asif turns this one away past square leg for a boundary. No ball for heigh called.

18.4 Romario Shepherd to Asif Ali, good short ball this time, Asif manages to duck under this one

ASIF ALI! In the slot and that was six from the moment it left the bat. Pakistan just one big hit away now.

18.3 Romario Shepherd to Asif Ali, SIX! HUGE! Well, if his last hit did not seal the game this one definitely does. Amazing power, misses the length and Asif goes deep in his crease and pumps this one away over square leg for a maximum

18.2 Romario Shepherd to Iftikhar Ahmed, full and on middle stump line, turned away for just a single this time

Iftikhar Ahmed, RHB, comes to the crease

Shepherd strikes. Pakistan restricted the West Indies to 14 runs from their last two overs. Will that prove to be the difference? West Indies need to pull off something similar here. A wicket is a good way to start, that's for sure.

18.1 Romario Shepherd to Fakhar Zaman, OUT! CAUGHT! Low full toss and Fakhar could not quite get under this one as he sends this one down the throat of the fielder at long-on. Still hanging in there West Indies!
Fakhar Zaman c Brooks b Shepherd 12 (8b 2x4 0x6)

It seemed like the plan was to go short to Asif Ali but Drakes has just dished out a couple of half-trackers instead! That should be the game for Pakistan from here on. Pakistan need 13 runs in 12 balls.

17.6 Dominic Drakes to Asif Ali, SHOT! This guy is a serious player, got some power about him. Short of a length and outside the off-stump, pumps this one over covers to possibly seal the game. Excellent power to get that slower ball away in front of square
