West Indies face Pakistan ON Friday in the third match of their 2013 ODI Series. The match starts at 9 a.m. ET (18:30 IST). Watch the live stream HERE.
West Indies won the second ODI against Pakistan by 37 runs. Going into the third ODI on Friday, Pakistan is eager to avenge its loss. The batting from Pakistan left much to be desired, SportsKeeda.com reports. Nasir Jamshed was the lone batter who had an impact in the last ODI, finally getting to the half century mark after blowing several chances early on.
Pakistan could look to attack early on, as opposed to trying to play the waiting game. The squad's bowling was efficient, but if it wants to earn a win on Friday, the batters will need to show up.
SportsKeeda described tomorrow's playing conditions: "The Beausejour strip offers true pace and bounce, and might suit free stroke making, something that the two teams would be hoping for, considering the fact that both are packed with natural stroke makers. Mohammed Irfan, with his lanky build, can prove to be a handful considering the pace and bounce he generates.
"The strip offers fair assistance to spin as well, so the two best bowlers in the world (Narine and Ajmal) might have a fair day."
Pakistan has won all four of its matches against West Indies in the Beausejour stadium at Gros Islet.
Probable squads (via Crichotline.co):
West Indies: Chris Gayle, Johnson Charles (wk), Darren Bravo, Lendl Simmons, Marlon Samuels, Dwayne Bravo (c), Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy, Kemar Roach, Sunil Narine, Jason Holder.
Pakistan: Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Misbah-ul-Haq (c), Asad Shafiq, Umar Akmal (wk), Shahid Afridi, Wahab Riaz, Asad Ali/Junaid Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Irfan.
