WI vs PAK, 2nd T20I: All you need to know, head to head, probable XI

West Indies and England are ready to take on each other in the second match of the three-match T20I series on Sunday at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida. Pakistan, fresh off a comprehensive victory in the first T20I, are leading the series 1โ€“0 and would hope to secure the series-clinching win heading into the second game. 

Meanwhile, West Indies are in deep trouble. Theyโ€™ve now lost six matches in a row, including a clean sweep in the preceding five-match T20I series against Australia. The second game for West Indies against Pakistan is highly crucial to win to stage their comeback in the series and level it 1-1. They have the firepower, but inconsistency has been the primary reason behind their defeat. Their bowling, too, has been underwhelming at crucial moments, allowing the opponent to stamp authority. West Indies, however, would aim for a spirited response to restore some dignity and remain alive in the series.

Head-to-head

Matches - 22

WI won - 3

PAK won - 16

NR - 3

West Indies likely XI: Johnson Charles, Shai Hope (c), Jewel Andrew (wk), Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein, Shamar Joseph, Jediah Blades

Pakistan likely XI: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Haris (wk), Salman Agha (c), Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Sufiyan Muqeem
