GROS ISLET (Agencies) Pakistan defeated West Indies by a comfortable margin of eight wickets in the first One-Day International played at Beausejour Cricket Ground in Saint Lucia on Saturday. Chasing 222 runs to win, Pakistan achieved the target in 41.3 overs. Asad Shafiq (61) and Misbah (73) were unbeaten. Earlier, wayward bowling in the closing overs left Pakistan to chase 222 for victory. Wahab Riaz was the most successful Pakistani bowler with two for 62 from 10 overs, but he and fellow left-arm fast-medium bowler Junaid Khan let West Indies off the hook, as the hosts finished on 221 for six from their 50 overs. Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Hafeez and captain Shahid Afridi tied down the West Indies batsmen in the middle overs in particular, and between them collected two wickets at a cost of 100 from 30 overs.
