Pakistan leave it late to beat the West Indies and complete a 3-1 ODI series win.

Pakistan have won the fifth and final one-day international against the West Indies at the Beausejour Stadium to clinch the series 3-1.

Pakistan led 2-1 coming into the final ODI, and the tourists put the home side to bat after winning the toss.

Devon Smith, opening the West Indies batting instead of Chris Gayle, edged a Junaid Khan delivery to give Pakistan an early wicket in the seventh over.

Darren Bravo soon followed his teammate to the pavilion, but Marlon Samuels and Johnson Charles took the hosts into three figures.

Khan finished with figures of 3-48, but a quickfire 48 off just 27 balls from captain Dwayne Bravo helped the hosts to close on 242-7.

Pakistan's chase started well, with Nasir Jamshed and Ahmad Shahzed sharing an opening wicket stand of 50, but a monumental mix-up led to the latter being stumped by West Indies veteran Chris Gayle.

Shahzed and Misbah scored 64 and 63 respectively, but rain threatened to cut short the match.

Misbah was dismissed in the final over, but with the last ball of the series, Saeed Ajmal secured the one run needed to seal a 3-1 series win.
