PAK vs WI West Indies tour of Pakistan, 3rd T20I Match Preview:
The third and final game of the T20I series between Pakistan and the West Indies will be played at the National Stadium in Karachi on Thursday, December 16. It will be a dead rubber, as the hosts have already sealed the series.
After winning the first game of the series, Pakistan continued their winning run in the second game by beating the West Indies in a close-fought contest. Electing to bat first, Pakistan posted 172 runs on the board, losing eight wickets.
Contributions from Mohammad Rizwan, Haider Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed and a quickfire cameo from Shadab Khan helped them post a competitive total on the board. Odean Smith picked up two wickets for the West Indies.
In response, the West Indies had a shaky start to their chase, losing two wickets inside the powerplay. Brandon King, opening the batting, went strong from one end, and received support from his captain from the other. Nicholas Pooran’s wicket in the 11th over, though, led to a mini-collapse, and King’s dismissal on 67 helped Pakistan get back into the game.
Romario Shepherd tried his best, remaining unbeaten on 35 off 19 balls. However, he couldn’t take his team across the line, as the visitors only managed 163 in their allotted 20 overs. Shaheen Shah Afridi was the pick of the Pakistan bowlers, taking three wickets. That helped Azam’s men defend their total successfully, and seal the series with a game to go.
With only pride to play for, West Indies will look for a consolation win in the final game of the series, and avoid a whitewash.
