The Guyanese spinner ran through the Pakistan middle order
as they fell short in their chase of West Indies' total of 150 for seven.
West Indies picked a youthful team for the one-off game and
the upcoming ODI series, having dropped experienced batsmen Chris Gayle,
Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
"I want to be a great cricketer for the West
Indies," said Bishoo.
"I don't want to be just a regular cricketer in the
West Indies team. I dream of great things and being great." Another of the young faces, opening
batsman Lendl Simmons got West Indies off to a great start with a lively 65 off
44 balls and left-hander Darren Bravo struck 42 off 33 as the Caribbean side
brought up their 100 in the 13th over.
But, as so often, Darren Sammy's side failed to build on
their good foundation and ended up falling short of a really strong total, with
just two other players making double figures.
Pakistan lost both their openers, Ahmed Shehzad and Mohammad
Hafeez, early but Umar Akmal's 41 from 60 balls put them in with a chance.
Bishoo, who caught the eye of West Indies selectors with his
performances in regional Twenty20 cricket, then showed his value in the
shortest form of the game with some astute bowling.
"When I came on to bowl I knew the team needed a good
performance," Bishoo said.
"I just tried to use my variations and changes of pace.
It worked out well today." The vital breakthrough came when Sammy
made a fine catch at extra-cover off Bishoo, to dismiss skipper Shahid Afridi
(12) and break up what was a potentially match winning partnership.
Sammy then ran out Mohammand Salman and when Marlon Samuels
caught Umar at deep midwicket off Ravi Rampaul, Pakistan were in trouble at
109-7.
But some loose bowling and some spirited resistance from
Saeed Ajmal (21 not out) at the end gave the tourists a glimmer of hope and the
last pair needed 14 from the final over.
Jamaican all-rounder Andre Russell kept his composure, after
a no-ball with his first delivery of the over, and the West Indies had cause
for celebration at the start of their home campaigns, which also includes two Tests
with Pakistan in May and three against India in June.
