Pakistan 308 for 6 (Azam 117, Azhar 101, Joseph 2-62) beat West Indies 172 (Ramdin 37, Nawaz 3-40, Wahab 2-28) by 136 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsBabar Azam became the third Pakistan player - and eighth overall - to score three consecutive ODI centuries as he top-scored with a 106-ball 117 in Pakistans commanding 136-run victory over West Indies in Abu Dhabi. The win completed Pakistans 3-0 sweep of the ODI series and enabled them to displace West Indies at No. 8 in the ODI rankings.Azam put on a run-a-ball 147 for the second wicket with captain Azhar Ali, who scored a century of his own to become the only Pakistan player to score three hundreds as ODI captain. The top-order hundreds formed the backbone of Pakistans total of 308 for 6, a score that looked beyond West Indies almost from the start of their scratchy, plodding reply.The margin of victory could have been even bigger had Pakistans middle- and lower-order batsmen fully capitalised on the strong launchpad provided by Azam and Azhar. Pakistan had moved to 232 for 2 by the time their partnership had been broken in the 39th over; they added just 76 runs thereafter, as successive batsmen struggled to find their timing on a slowing wicket and against an older ball. The last ten overs of Pakistans innings yielded only two boundaries, one of which was possible only thanks to a lazy misfield by Evin Lewis at deep backward square.But if the end of Pakistans innings appeared anti-climactic, it was still lively compared to the dreary run-chase that followed. Showing an inability to rotate the strike, against pace and spin alike, West Indies batsmen got stuck and never approached the run rate required to mount a genuine challenge. By the end of the 30th over, West Indies had soaked up 112 dot balls - as many as Pakistan had faced in their entire innings - and were wallowing in the gloom of impending defeat with the score 119 for 5. Their limp effort continued thereafter as the match drifted towards its inevitable conclusion.On a flat pitch that became slower and more sluggish over time, the best time for batting was at the very start. Having won the toss, Pakistan batted first - for the third time in a row - and made the most of the good conditions early on, racing along to 36 off the first four overs. Opening bowlers Azarri Joseph and Shannon Gabriel clocked up speeds in excess of 140 kph - Gabriel hit the late 140s several times - but could not quite find the control to match. Sharjeel Khan was characteristically strong square of the wicket, while Azhar showed nice touch, flicking through midwicket, driving down the ground and playing a commanding cut past backward square.The introduction of Kraigg Brathwaite and Jason Holder slowed the tempo of Pakistans innings somewhat, before Sunil Narine and Sulieman Benn helped West Indies regain a greater measure of control, stifling the batsmen with their lack of pace and disciplined lines. Benn was rewarded in his second over when Sharjeel lost patience and hit a well-flighted delivery straight to Joseph at long-on. With the spinners continuing to exert the squeeze, Azhar and Azam meandered along, bringing up the teams 100 in the 20th over. But as the partnership got going, the runs began to flow again. Once Azam was set, he found the gaps with increasing ease. Azhar used the sweep and slog-sweep with great effectiveness against Benn. Pakistans second 100 runs came off just 83 balls.It was Holder who ended their partnership when Azhar, batting on 101, played a tired heave across the line of a slower ball that clipped the top of off stump. Shoaib Malik was dismissed by Narine next over as West Indies began to pull things back for the second time in the innings, just when Pakistan would have wanted to push on. Azam picked up ones and twos as he approached his century, but, with only three wickets down, Pakistan would have wanted rather more than that.Azam departed off the last ball of the 46th over, looking to paddle-sweep a yorker-length ball from Kieron Pollard, only to find his leg stump disturbed. Pakistan were 280 for 4 with four overs remaining. They added another 28, but the late charge towards which they had been building never actually materialised.It didnt need to. West Indies openers, Lewis and Kraigg Brathwaite, started steadily, putting on 45 off 56 balls before Lewis, on ODI debut, was bowled around his legs by Sohail Khan. That partnership turned out to be the biggest of West Indies innings, as wickets fell regularly thereafter. A 42-run sixth-wicket partnership between Holder and Denesh Ramdin was the only other stand of substance, but it came after the match was all but lost. Once Imad Wasim broke that stand, the end came quickly, with the last five wickets falling for the addition of just 13 runs. Devonte Graham Hornets Jersey .

SEATTLE -- Nicolas Lodeiro figures hes just getting started.The Seattle Sounders hope hes right.Lodeiro scored his first MLS goal, then assisted on Jordan Morris team-leading eighth in Seattles 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake on Sunday.Im very happy. I hope its the first of many, Lodeiro said through an interpreter. But the most important thing is the win today.The Sounders (8-12-3) have won two straight and are 2-0-1 since parting ways with former coach Sigi Schmid on July 26. Lodeiro has factored into four of their last five goals, with two assists last week in a 3-1 victory at Orlando City.He has come and turned things around, but the whole team has had a hand in that, not just one person, Seattle interim head coach Brian Schmetzer said. Hes a very talented soccer player, and he makes everyone else around him better. But the whole team kind of rises up with him -- that might be his biggest contribution, aside from a goal and an assist tonight.Lodeiro, the Uruguayan national midfielder signed by Seattle as a Designated Player on July 27, tallied in the 24th minute. Clint Dempsey lofted the ball toward the left wing side. Andreas Ivanschitz took it into penalty area, crossed it toward the middle, and Lodeiro drilled it high into the left side of the net.In the 37th minute, Dempsey deked around a defender and sent a ball toward the left side, where Lodeiro caught up with it and floated a cross into the box. Morris ran onto a header that went in off the hands of goalkeeper Nick Rimando.Its awesome playing with two players like that, Morris said about Dempsey and Lodeiro. You make a run, and you know youre going to get the ball.Coupled witth Portlands 2-0 loss at D.ddddddddddddC. United on Saturday night, the Sounders are five points below the Timbers for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. The two rivals meet next Sunday in Seattle.Im not sure If its one certain thing, Schmetzer said of about teams play through the last three weekends. But I do believe its their group mentality that makes them play the way theyre playing now.RSLs Joao Plata scored on an uncontested 8-yard shot in the 62nd minute after goalkeeper Stefan Frei bobbled the ball at the top of the box while preparing to kick it downfield. Salt Lakes Yura Movsisyan gained control, and while Frei and the Seattle defenders scrambled, he found Plata running into the area.Coach Jeff Cassar said Real needed more of that kind of thing, as Salt Lake (10-8-7) has won just twice in its last 10 games.I dont think we changed the point of attack nearly enough as we wanted to, Cassar said. Every time we did, we were able to do more of the things we wanted to. You can come up with the best game plans and be tactically sound. But you turn the ball over as cheaply as we did in the first half, nothings going to work. Seattles got a lot of dangerous players in their attack, and they make you defend. We didnt win the battle of making them defend as much as we wanted to.Dempsey, coming off of a hat trick last week at Orlando City, had a chance to clinch the game with a penalty kick in the 82nd minute. But his shot banged off the underside of the crossbar and bounced away from the goalmouth. ' ' '
