West Indies win toss, elect to bat in third T20I

KARACHI: West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first against Pakistan for the third T20I in Karachi.

Pakistan made two changes in its squad as Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usman Shinwari have made their place in the final-playing 11 while fast bowlers Muhammad Amir and Hasan Ali are being rested.

Afridi will be making his debut tonight, Wasim Akram handed him his debut cap.

Pakistan has already taken a decisive 2-0 lead in the three-match series against West Indies. A clean sweep will ensure that Pakistan maintains its number one T20 ranking. A loss would lead to Australia taking over the top spot.

Pakistan has dominated the series, winning the first match by 143 runs and the second by 82 runs. Pakistan’s top order has been brilliant with an unbeaten 97 by Babar Azam in the second match and Hussain Talat scoring 41 and 62 during the series.
