Jason Holder found a match-winning boundary on the last ball as West Indies defeated Pakistan in the second T20I in Florida to level the series 1-1. Holder, who had earlier taken four wickets, held his nerves to hit Shaheen Shah Afridi for a four with three needed to win off the final delivery of the match.

West Indies Vs Pakistan LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Ball-By-Ball Commentary
Holder was the star for West Indies with the ball as his four wickets for just 19 runs restricted Pakistan to 133/9 in 20 overs. Hasan Nawaz played a crucial part for Pakistan as his 23-ball 40 was the reason Pakistan could put up a decent total on the board.
Mohammad Nawaz then picked up three wickets to put West Indies under immense pressure. However, a 16-run penultimate over by Hasan Ali turned the game in West Indies' favour as only eight were left for Shaheen Afridi to defend in the final over. Afridi did well to stretch the game to the final ball before Holder hit him for a boundary.
Before this match, Salman Ali Agha’s men opened this tour with a 14-run win. Saim Ayub led the way with a 38-ball 57 in Pakistan’s 178/6. Windies collapsed after a strong 72-run opening stand. Mohammad Nawaz and Ayub triggered the slide, and despite late fireworks from Holder and Joseph, the hosts fell short.
