PROVIDENCE, Guyana (AP) " The West Indies pulled off its biggest successful chase in one-day cricket internationals when it beat Pakistan by four wickets with an over to spare at Providence Stadium on Friday. Pakistan, heavily favored after winning the Twenty20 series 3-1, was made to bat first by the heavily depleted West Indies and put up a comfortable 308-5. The home side made a steady and safe start, but the required run rate climbed to nearly 10 an over entering the last 10 overs. Kieran Powell, 61, and opener Evin Lewis, 47, steered the West Indies cautiously through the early and middle innings. The run rate was high but wickets were in hand, and Mohammed, who came to the crease in the 33rd over, suddenly exploded from the 38th, just as the West Indies reached 200.
