Opener Babar Azam hit an unbeaten 97 to steer Pakistan to their highest-ever Twenty20 total of 205-3 in the second match against the West Indies in Karachi today.

Azam smashed 13 fours and a six in his 58-ball knock after Pakistan -- who lead the three-match series 1-0 -- won the toss and opted to bat at the National Stadium.

Hussain Talat scored a 41-ball 63 and shared a 119-run second-wicket partnership with Azam after Fakhar Zaman was dismissed for six.

Pakistan won the first match by 143 runs yesterday. The final match is tomorrow, also in Karachi.
