The inexperienced West Indies batting line-up never seemed in a position to counter the fiery Pakistan bowling attack as initially youngster Aamer and Indian Cricket League returnee Rana Naved-ul Hasan ran havoc and then Umar Gul joined the party to dismantle the Caribbeans.
Left-arm pacer Aamer struck as early as in the final ball of the opening over, getting Dale Richards (1) caught and bowled off his own bowling and then Naved-ul-Hasan got the better of Andre Fletcher (7) caught by Imran Nazir with West Indies reeling at 11 for two after 3.6 overs.
Travis Dowlin was the next man to depart without opening his account, edging one to Kamral Akmal off the bowling of Aamer.
One-down Devon Smith (18 off 28 balls) and captain Floyd Reifer (7 off 23) did show some resistance, adding 22 runs for the fifth wicket before Reifer was caught by Misbah-ul Haq off Gul in the 15th over.
After the intial hiccup the West Indies batsmen never got their footing into the match, losing wickets at regular intervals.
Darren Sammy (25 off 37) and Nikita Miller (51) tried their level best to get back the West Indies innings back on track, adding 38 precious runs for the ninth wicket but their efforts were shortlived as off-spinner Saeed Ajmal struck in his first over, dismantling the stumps of dangerman Sammy.
Although down and out of the contest, Miller and Tino Best put on 36 runs for the ninth wicket to take the West Indies score to some respectability before Best was stumped by Akmal off the bowling of Ajmal.
Miller was the last to depart going for a big hit over the long-on boundary off stand-in skipper Shahid Afridi's bowling, only to find Shoaib Malik but not before making a well deserved 51 off 57 deliveries with the help of six fours and one six.
