All-rounder Dwayne Smith hit 32 off 15 balls and took three big wickets with his medium-paced seamers as West Indies won the World Cup opener by 54 runs.
Pakistan won the toss, chose to field first, and restricted the hosts to 241-9 in Jamaica despite an aggressive 63 from local star Marlon Samuels.
West Indies started badly with their chase, and struggled to build momentum before Smith struck his killer blows.
Pakistan's top performers were Shoaib Malik (62) and Rao Iftikhar (3-44).
