Pakistan vs West Indies, 2nd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
The second game of the ODI series between Pakistan and West Indies will be played on June 10 at the Multan Cricket Stadium. Pakistan currently lead the three-match series by a 1-0 margin.
The first game of the series went down to the wire and the hosts managed to hold their nerves to come out on top. It was a high-scoring affair.
West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran won the toss and opted to bat first. Shai Hope smashed a century at the top of the order as it helped them post 305 on the board. The Pakistan bowlers picked up eight wickets in the process.
It was a daunting task to chase down this total but contributions from their batters along with a brilliant century from their skipper Babar Azam helped them fulfill the task.
It went down to the wire but a solid cameo from Khushdil Shah (41* off 23 balls) helped them get across the line with five wickets in hand and four balls to spare.
West Indies tried hard but failed to finish on the winning side. They will have to bring out their A-game and fire in unison to keep the series alive on Friday.
Pakistan will be riding with confidence after that win and will look to carry forward the winning momentum and seal the series in the second ODI itself.
