The dashing batting from Hooper and Chanderpaul,
however, came in an inconsequential match after Pakistan had
wrapped up the series by winning the first two matches.
Pakistani captain Waqar Younis claimed
two wickets, including the one of Darren Ganga off the third
ball of the match.
Pakistan face a tough asking rate of 5.22
runs an over under lights to sweep the series. Earlier the
West Indies, who are down 0-2 in the series, won the toss
and elected to bat. (Agencies)
