Pakistan to face off West Indies in 3rd T-20 tonight

Pakistan and West Indies will face off in the third T-20 of the four matches series as the tourists are eyeing a series win.  

The green shirts will be going for the match in Port of Spain with a 2-0 lead.  Pakistan opener Ahmed Shehzad might miss the match as he was injured during the second T-20.

Pakistan skipper says that the Caribbean were a dangerous team of the format and any good knock from few players might put Pakistan in difficult position.

The hosts’ primary headache is the lack of form for many of their key T20 players. Lendl Simmons has scored just 21 runs in his last five T20I innings, while Keiron Pollard has not scored more than 26 in a T20 since July 2013, and has a disappointing (by his standards anyway) strike rate of 103.9 since then. Captain Carlos Brathwaite is yet to regain the touch that blasted West Indies to the World T20 title, and the openers lack experience.

In addition, the previous game saw one of the worst fielding displays from West Indies in recent times, multiple schoolboy errors gifting Pakistan extra runs in a match they only won by three.
