The T20I series was filled with a hell of a lot of rain, and several matches from the 4 T20I series were washed out. In 3 T20I games, rain played the spoilsport and 1 match was won by Pakistan. Meanwhile, West Indies will be looking forward to taking revenge by winning the Test series against Pakistan.
