WI Playing 11: West Indies will face Pakistan in the third T20I here at Providence Stadium, Guyana. The hosts will look to level the series after losing the last match. West Indies bowled well but the number of dot balls cost them the match. Despite having some of the game’s best power hitters in the line-up, they were left to do too much in the end. With T20 World Cup not far away, this will be the last opportunity for them to test their bench strength. Pakistan leads the head-to-head record over West Indies in T20Is by a huge margin of 12-3.
