Overview

• Pakistan leads the three-match series 1-0 after a 14-run victory over the West Indies in the opener at Lauderhill.
• Saim Ayub’s unbeaten 57 off 38 balls earned him Player of the Match and provided a strong foundation for Pakistan’s total of 178/6.
• Both sides have confirmed largely consistent playing XIs for the August 3 fixture at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground.
• Central Broward’s pitch is expected to support both batters and spinners as the match progresses, with defending sides historically holding an edge.
