ABU DHABI–Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed said his side outplayed West Indies in every department, during their 3-0 whitewash of the reigning World champions in the just concluded Twenty20 International series.
"We never imagined that we would win the series 3-0. They are the world champions and they are a strong team, conditions wise," Sarfraz told reporters.
"So, I would like to praise my team for the way they worked hard. Despite the humidity and other factors, the way the boys didn't lose confidence. If you look on the field, we were better than them.
"We fielded well, bowled well and took some good catches as well. So, the credit goes to the entire team."
West Indies were humbled in the two opening games in Dubai, losing the first game by nine wickets and the second by 16 runs. In other encounters, the Caribbean side were handicapped by poor batting displays and never really challenged.
In the final T20I here Tuesday, West Indies were once again sub-par when they batted, scraping together a staggeringly disappointing 103 for five from their 20 overs, to eventually crash to an eight-wicket defeat.
Sarfraz said at no time did Pakistan relax after taking a 2-0 lead in the series, as the objective was always to pull off a clean sweep.
This, he contended, was a sign the side was beginning to develop.
"When we were 2-0 coming to Abu Dhabi, our focus was that if we are to become a good team, we will have to bring in the consistency," he explained.
The success against West Indies comes on the heels of their convincing victory over England in a one-off T20I in Manchester earlier this month.
