WI vs PAK 2nd ODI: West Indies aim for a comeback as Pakistan eye series
West Indies and Pakistan are gearing up for the second ODI of their ongoing three-match series, scheduled to take place on Sunday in Trinidad. Pakistan, having kicked off the series with a well-fought five-wicket win in the series opener, will hope to claim the series-clinching win heading into the second game.
The first ODI showcased Pakistan’s batting depth. Chasing a challenging target of 281, the visitors navigated some tense moments before clinching the victory with five wickets in hand. Key contributions from their middle order helped Pakistan gain the early upper hand in the series.
The hosts, on the other hand, will be keen to bounce back strongly. The first ODI saw the Caribbean side struggle to maintain consistency, particularly in the opening stages of their innings. Moreover, the middle-order collapse hampered their progress.
Heading into the second game, West Indies will bank on experienced campaigners to steady the ship. For West Indies, it’s a must-win game to keep the series alive and set up the decider.
