Pakistan dismiss West Indies for 151 in second one-dayer

FAISALABAD, Dec 7 (Reuters) Pakistan ripped through the West Indies order to bowl out the tourists for 151 in the second one-day international today, with left-arm spinner Abdul Rehman enjoying a promising debut for the hosts.

The 26-year-old led a disciplined bowling and fielding performance to finish with figures of 2-20 from 10 overs as Runako Morton top scored for West Indies with 43 on a sluggish pitch that encouraged the bowlers.

Three batsmen, including skipper Brian Lara, were run out as pacers Umar Gul and Rana Naved also took two wickets apiece.

The visitors were asked to bat and never recovered after losing debutant Lendl Simmons and Chris Gayle for ducks in the first two overs.

Simmons was caught behind off Gul and Naved had Gayle smartly snapped up by skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq at first slip, who was returning to the side after completing a four-match ban.

Inzamam was suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in September for bringing the game into disrepute during the Oval test against England a month earlier.

The most productive partnership was for the seventh wicket between Morton, who hit four boundaries in a 66-ball knock, and Denesh Ramdin (23).

The pair added 57 runs from 89 balls after Daren Ganga (21) and Samuels (37) put on 46 for the third wicket.

THREE WICKETS Ganga was the third wicket to fall with the total of 48 in the 20th over and when Lara was run out with the score on 72, three more batsmen were dismissed for the addition of eight runs, with Rehman taking two of them.

Lara attempted a suicidal single after Samuels played the ball to mid-wicket, where Shoaib Malik homed in a smart return.

Rehman trapped Dwayne Smith leg before for a duck and had Samuels, who hit two fours in his 86-ball innings, caught by Younis Khan in the space of six balls.

The seventh wicket stand, which gave impetus to the innings ended with the run out of Ramdin in the 47th over.

Two wickets fell in the penultimate over with Morton caught at mid wicket by Younis off Naved.

The five-match series is tied 0-0 after Tuesday's first contest in Rawalpindi was abandoned due to torrential rain.
