The West Indies are gearing up for a crucial second T20I against Pakistan in Florida, desperately seeking a win to snap their losing streak and keep the series alive.
The Crucial Second T20I
After a tough run against Australia in Tests and T20Is, the West Indies are facing another series defeat, this time at home against Pakistan. They lost the first T20I by 14 runs, making Sunday’s match a must-win to force a decider.
For the home side, challenges abound across both batting and bowling departments. They’ll need a significant turnaround to bounce back against a confident Pakistani team.
Meanwhile, Salman Ali Agha’s Pakistan squad sees this series as a prime opportunity to prove their depth and fighting spirit, especially without their seasoned stars like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.
