West Indies will look to salvage pride when they lock horns against Pakistan in the third ODI on Sunday at the Multan Cricket Stadium. The home side has dominated the first two games and will hope to inflict a whitewash.
Pakistan have stuck to a more predictable script, especially the manner in which Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam have adjusted to the familiar conditions and laid strong foundations in both the encounters so far. The bowlers have also done more than a decent job to back the good job of the bowlers.
West Indies too have found a steady foundation from their No 2 and 3, Kyle Mayers and Shamarh Brooks stitching handy partnerships. However, the rest of the batting has not been able to capitalise on that, relying too heavily on the big hits rather than the touch of working around the gaps.
