It’s 1-1 after two games, and we’re headed for a thrilling finale in Trinidad as West Indies and Pakistan take each other on in the series decider on August 12 (Tuesday). Pakistan pulled off a thrilling 5-wicket win in the first ODI to take a 1-0 lead, but it was the hosts who emerged victorious in the rain-curtailed second game. The series is thus on a knife-edge, and Tuesday’s winner will walk away with the series.
1991 was the last timethe West Indies won a bilateral ODI series against Pakistan. Will the Shai Hope-led side break the 34-year-old duck tomorrow?
