After losing badly form India in there last warm up match West Indies got a very good start in first match of World Cup 2007 against Pakistan. West Indies secured precious 2 points by defeating Pakistan by 54 runs in a group D match. West Indies scored 241 for nine and then bowled Pakistan out for 187.
Dwayne Smith was declared man of the match. He scored 32 runs from 15 balls and also claimed three wickets which includes wickets of Mohammad Yousuf and Inzammam-ul-Haq. I am sure Caribbean girls must be impressed by his performance as we can see some dancing happy girls in stadium from our television set. ;-)
Other major contributions from hosts side include Marlon Samuels's 63, Sarwan's 49 and Lara's 37 while from Pakistani side Shoaib Malik scored 62 which includes two sixes but no help.
Today there is Australia Vs Scotland and Canada Vs Kenya and I will watch Canada's efforts to win over Kenya or vice-versa.

Its really big win for host nation.
Well Played west indies !!!.
Hip Hip Hurray !!!!!!!!
Considering that Pakistan also qualifies for the finals, If that then west indies would have 2 pts before super 8 starts.
And finally this would not be easy for pakistan to get qualify for semi finals.
So I would say west indies had great start with this victory over pakistan.
Great Win !!!!!!!!
I hope India also wins the match against the Srilanka !!!
