CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (Sporting Alert) — Hard hitting allrounder Andre Russell belted a 13 ball unbeaten 42 to help guide the West Indies to 310 for 6 in their second game of the 2015 ICC World Cup against Pakistan at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
Russell blasted 4 huge sixes and 3 fours in his blistering knock as the West Indies improved from 259 for 5 when Darren Sammy felled for 30 in the 48th over, to score over 300 runs after being asked to bat by Pakistan.
Denesh Ramdin made 51 for the Caribbean side, while Lendl Simmons scored 50 runs in the total, as Pakistan gave away 23 extras, including 14 wides.
Darren Bravo reached 49 before he was forced to retire hurt after picking up a hamstring injury just after the West Indies took the Powerplay in the 32nd over.
Vice-captain Marlon Samuels made 38 from 52 balls with opener Dwayne Smith reaching 23 from 27 balls before he went early again.
Haris Sohail took two wickets for Pakistan, but the likes of Sohail Khan and Wahab Riaz were very expensive.
Earlier Pakistan made one change from the side that was beaten by India in their opening World Cup game, as Nasir Jamshed comes into the side for Yasir Shah.
Hard hitting opener Chris Gayle failed again with the bat after going in the fifth over for just four runs.
The West Indies dropped fast bowler Kemar Roach and recalled spinner Sulieman Benn, who is expected to get some assistance from the pitch.
