Pakistan vs West Indies: Pakistan will be taking on West Indies in the second ODI of the three-match series at National Stadium Karachi, Karachi East, Pakistan on Sunday, April 21. West Indies flexed their dominant muscles over Pakistan in the 1st ODI of the series. They defeated the hosts by a mammoth margin of 113 runs and took a 1-0 lead in this series.
The hosts Pakistan were shocked by the West Indies in the first game. The team conceded 269-8 in 50 overs and were then bowled out for a mere 156 in the chase. Pakistan’s form in ODIs has been concerning but they do have the players who can turn things around quickly.
Tuba Hassan top scored with 25 runs while other batters got starts but failed to convert it to a big score. Their batting unit needs to bat more sensibly and make big scores. Pakistan will need to come up with brilliant performances to win this match and stay alive in the series.
On the other hand, West Indies started the tour with a dominant win in their opening match by 113 runs and will look to carry forward the momentum and seal the series. The visitors were led by their Skipper Hayley Mathews making a massive 140 runs at the top and taking WI to 279/8 in 50 overs.
Shemaine Campbelle made 45 runs and her 102-run partnership with their skipper set the tone for the match. The Windies were brilliant in the first game but over the years, the team has struggled with the consistency of their players. This is something the team would look to improve as they eye a historic series win over Pakistan.
