Pakistan opener Ahmed Shehzad hit a confident 102 to lead Pakistan to a seven-wicket victory over West Indies on Monday for a 2-0 lead in the five-match, one-day international series.
The 19-year-old Shehzad struck seven fours and a six in 148 balls at Beausejour Stadium as Pakistan reached 223-3 to eclipse the hosts' total of 220 with two overs remaining.
He shared half-century stands with Mohammad Hafeez, Asad Shafiq and Misbah-ul-Haq. Hafeez scored 32 off 51 balls, Shafiq contributed 23 off 37 while Misbah struck a run-a-ball 43.
"He's a very, very talented guy," Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi said of Shehzad. "In the World Cup, he didn't perform well. But we gave him confidence from my side and the team management side and he showed himself that he is capable of performing. He took some time but it was OK since it was only a total of 220 (we were chasing)."
