Pakistan have decided to bat in the second T20I against West Indies in Karachi. After putting on their joint-highest T20I total on Sunday night, captain Sarfraz Ahmed decided to set a total once more on what looked to be a similar pitch. Given the near-perfect performance in the first T20I, Pakistan were unsurprisingly unchanged.
West Indies were dealt a blow shortly before the toss when it emerged Veerasammy Permaul would miss the final two games. As such, the only change Jason Mohammed made was an enforced one, with a debut call-up for 21-year old Odean Smith. Defeat in this game for West Indies would see Pakistan win the series with one game to go, also to be played at the National Stadium in Karachi.
