Pakistan vs West Indies: Pakistan will face West Indies in the third ODI of the three-match series at National Stadium Karachi, Karachi East, Pakistan on Tuesday, April 23. West Indies beat Pakistan by 2 wickets in the second match and won the ODI series 2-0. The home side, Pakistan will look to avoid whitewash against rampaging West Indies.
In the previous match, Pakistan were bowled out for 224 runs batting first in the match. Muneeba Ali and Sidra Ameen made fifties and laid the platform with their 80-run partnership at the top. But, their middle order failed to capitalize and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Their batting unit needs to bat more sensibly and make big scores in this match.
However, their bowlers bowled decently to restrict the run flow in the middle overs. Pakistan will need to come up with brilliant performances to win this match to avoid whitewash and get some momentum before T20Is.
On the other hand, West Indies have won the ODI series on their tour with their win in the second ODI and will look to carry forward the momentum and whitewash the hosts in the series. The visitors were led by their Skipper Hayley Mathews 43 runs at the top and their middle order duo of Shemaine Campbelle and Stefanie Taylor led their fightback in the middle overs.
Chinelle Henry chipped in with a small cameo in the lower middle order. Their bowlers bowled out the opposition to 224/10 in 48.5 overs. After the 2-0 lead in the series, WI would be supremely confident ahead of this game too.
