Pakistan Vs West Indies Preview
Pakistan will be facing West Indies in the first rescheduled ODI match. Talking about their performances, Pakistan is in good touch. The team did well against Australia in the home ODI series, they won it 2-1. Still, Pakistani bowling is something that will concern them if they are not fully ready to anticipate the Carribbean power attack. Spinners are expected to play a bigger role as Shadab Khan has been picked up for the series.
West Indies have crushed Netherlands with 3-0 win and they will hope to continue with the momentum they have gained under the new captain. Roamario Shephard and Rovman Powell has been included in the team, they missed the series against Nederlands due to the visa issue. It will be power packed team facing the clinically relevant team of Pakistan.
The match will played under sun in 45°c heat. It will not be easy game for any of the teams. Whichever team wins the toss will prefer to bat first in these conditions. We think that bowling will decide who will come out as winners of this match. Again, a 250 match is on cards and both teams will fancy to chase the target if there is due expected to come when the sun goes down.
