Pakistan will look to win this game and win the series as well while the West Indies will look to bounce back strongly and keep the series alive.
Pakistan’s batters were the heroes of their win in the first game. Excellent performances from Babar Azam, Imam ul Haq, Mohammad Rizwan, and Khusdil Shah ensured that they chased down a big total of 305 runs without any difficulties. They will look to continue their good performance in the second game as well. There is a little room for improvement in the bowling department and they will look to do just that.
West Indies, on the other hand, also batted really well and scored a 305 runs batting first. It was the inexperience of their bowlers that cost them the match. Shai Hope continued his terrific form and scored a century in the first game. Shamarah Brooks also scored a brilliant 70 while the middle order also did well with small contributions.
