Going into the second ODI, Babar Azam also had an opportunity to become only the second player since Kumar Sangakkara to score four centuries in a row in ODIs. But the Pakistan skipper was dismissed for 77.
On Friday, half centuries from Babar and Imam-ul-Haq helped Pakistan post 275 for eight in 50 overs.
In reply, West Indies kept losing wickets at regular intervals with Mohammad Nawaz running amok. The Pakistan spinner returned with figures of four for 19 in 10 overs as the West Indies were bundled out for 155 in 32.2 overs.
