Well, I suppose it'd be better to give 'em more of a 'wake up' call.
We gave it when we last clashed with them. This is the time to let them smell some chloroform.

Pakistan openers Saeed Anwar(70) and Zaheer Abbas(142) started positively from the word go.The duo put up an excellent opening partnership of 148 in only 25.1 overs scoring at nearly 6 runs per over dispatching the West Indies quicks for boundaries on a regular basis.Anwar was dismissed by Andy Roberts for 70 which he scored in only 74 balls.Then Zaheer Abbas and Saleem Malik put up a partnership of 116 for the 2nd wicket.Abbas was trapped in front by Malcolm Marshall for 142 when Pakistan were at a very comfortable position at 264 for 1.After his dismissal,West Indies fought back very well taking the last 9 wickets for 129 runs and bowled Pakistan out for a total of 393.
Michael Holding and Garry Sobers took 3 wickets apiece.

-X-Trailing by 393 runs,the West Indies got their first innings to a poor start.
Vivian Richards,their leading run-scorer in the tournament was out lbw to a ripper of a delivery from Imran Khan for a golden duck in only the 2nd over.Nine balls later another in-form batsman Brian Lara was castled by Wasim Akram cheaply for 5.George Headley and Clyde Walcott put up a 79-run partnership for the 3rd wicket.The partnership was broken by Abdul Qadir who had Headley out caught and just three balls later Walcott was also dismissed by Imran Khan.
Everton Weekes came in and batted brilliantly and at a very good pace.He formed good partnerships with Garry Sobers and tailender Andy Roberts to rescue the West Indies.
Abdul Qadir dismissed Sobers,Marshall and Roberts while the duo of Imran Khan and Wasim Akram cleaned up the other tailenders to secure a 90-run lead for Pakistan.Everton Weekes was unbeaten on 110 off just 115 balls.

-X-The Pakistan openers got their side off to a decent start with an opening partnership of 60.Zaheer Abbas wasn't as flamboyant like in the first innings but scored a good half-century.
He formed a 54-run partnership with Inzamam-ul-Haq who looked in great touch from the moment he arrived at the crease.Malcolm Marshall got rid of Abbas for 68.In walked Javed Miandad who had a good time batting with Inzamam throughout the tournament and also did so today.
They put on 69 runs in 81 balls playing some extravagant shots to which the Caribbean bowlers could only watch in awe.This was ended when Inzamam played all over a straight ball from off-spinner Lance Gibbs.Imran Khan then joined Miandad at the wicket and they put up 116 runs for the 5th wicket.Miandad went about playing his shots and scoring runs with ease while Imran played a watchful knock and played brilliant shots at times.Miandad was nearing a century but when on 93 played a rash shot which presented Brian Lara with an easy catch and Roberts a wicket.The wicket-keeper batsman Moin Khan who had been struggling to get runs in the tournament came in and scored an entertaining 44 off 65 balls which included 4 sixes.Marshall bowled Imran Khan while Garner got did of Wasim Akram(8) and Abdul Qadir(0).By then Pakistan already had a huge lead of 485.They declared with Shoaib Akhtar hitting a four off the last ball.The lead was 489 which left the West Indies a huge task of chasing 490 to lift the trophy.Can they do it?

-X-The West Indies were up for a daunting task chasing 490 in order to win the tournament against an in-form bowling attack of Pakistan.
The openers this time around gave West Indies a better start with an opening partnership of 46 in just 51 balls.George Headley and Vivian Richards played impressive shots against the fast bowlers.Headley had been very ordinary by his standards in this tournament failed to score big once again.He was caught off the bowling of Imran Khan for an aggressive 22 off 24 balls.Brian Lara came in and shared a 59-run stand with Richards before Abdul Qadir got the crucial breakthrough by scalping Richards as a thin edge was well taken by keeper Moin Khan.
With the West Indies already struggling,high hopes were on Lara and Clyde Walcott.But there wasn't much they could do as the Pakistani bowlers had them under pressure most of the times.Lara was bowled by Wasim Akram similar to his first innings dismissal while Walcott played on to his stumps as the misery continued.Everton Weekes and Garry Sobers,the only two capable batsman remaining.Weekes coming off a century in the first innings started from where he had left and played an aggressive knock with Sobers too finding his rythm which opened up a possibility of a Caribbean triumph.
Waqar Younis who was hammered in the first innings ended all hopes of a fairytale victory for the West Indies when he dismissed Garry Sobers.Weekes still carried on for a while with the tailenders and went on to make his second hundred in the match.His innings ended in an unlucky fashion by edging the ball onto the stumps off the bowling of Imran Khan.Michael Holding and Joel Garner managed to frustrate the Pakistani players by taking the match into Day 5 but on a new day it didn't take long for Abdul Qadir and Waqar Younis to clean them up.
Pakistan won by a big margin of 150 runs to lift the inaugral Legends At Battle trophy!
MATCH SUMMARY
Code:
Pakistan 393 & 399/8d
West Indies 303 & 339
Pakistan won by 150 runs
Man of the match: Imran KhanThere were a few impressive individual performances in the match namely the hundreds in both innings by Everton Weekes,Zaheer Abbas's saving the best for the last performance and Abdul Qadir's bowling but none could overshadow the Pakistan captain Imran Khan's effort.He led from the front with the ball taking important wickets and played a huge part in extending Pakistan's lead in the second innings which made them win the tournament like 'Cornered Tigers' after their performance in the league stage matches wasn't so impressive.

Lovely description there Varun. Would had loved to see some pictures too.
WI have a daunting task ahead of them and they have only 6 able batters. There is almost 5 sessions of play left so it can go either way. I'm sure it isn't a draw. Hopefully, we will bowl them out much before time. If at all they manage that score in 4th innings, that would be unbelievable but that said, the advantage is clearly in Pakistan's favor as bowling has always been the strong point of our team.
