West Indies face Pakistan on Tuesday in Match 2 of their 2013 ODI Series. The match begins at 9 a.m. ET (07:00 p.m. IST). Watch the live stream HERE.
Pakistan defeated West Indies by 126 runs in their first ODI Series match on Sunday. Pakistan owed much to Shahid Afridi, who turned in an excellent performance in Match 1 with a 55-ball 76, CricketNext reports.
After its poor batting performance, West Indies will hope to make adjustments and even the score on Tuesday. It wasn't all gloom for the host nation. West Indies did keep Pakistan to 224 for nine in its 50 overs while Jason Holder took four wickets. Holder gave away only 13 runs in his 10 overs, which included four maidens.
One of the biggest problems came from the lack of support from Holder's fellow bowlers. Sunil Narine gave up 32 runs in his three overs, and he didn't pick up a single wicket.
West Indies batting needs to improve. The team was kept to 98 runs in 41 overs, with Marlon Samuels, the team's top scorer, logging a 75-ball 25.
CricketNext predicts Match 2 to be a much closer game.
