After a closely-fought T20I series in USA that finished 2-1 in the favour of the visitors, West Indies and Pakistan meet again, this time in Trinidad for the first of three ODIs.

It's a format that hasn't been kind to either of the teams of late. Pakistan crashed out of the Champions Trophy at home in the early stages, while West Indies didn't even qualify for that tournament. They didn't qualify for the 2023 WC either, and if they're to do so for 2027, they'll have to work their way up the rankings where they currently sit at 10th place.

Some dark clouds are looming above as the captains walk out for the toss.

Pakistan have won the toss and have opted to field

Rizwan:
Want to bowl first. The forecast is like that. There's moisture in the pitch as well. We need to adapt to conditions and apply ourselves.

Hope:
I would've bowled first as well, thinking along the same lines (as Rizwan). We still have our brand that we want to play. Guys have been showcasing that skill and talent. Important for us to remain consistent in this format. Certainly at the helm (qualifying for WC). We speak about the important of qualifying automatically.

Pitch report | Samuel Badree and Stacy- Ann King:
T20 WC semifinal was played last here. It's a pitch that has favoured bowlers in the past. There is some brown grass and some green grass. Pitch is quite firm. Batting is going to be a challenge. They'll have to apply themselves. Spinners will be influential.

King done out areddy

Misjudge the length and didn’t bother to stretch to meet it properly

What a soft dismissal and very very immature

Shaheen Afridi to Brandon King, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Loose shot and gone! First-over Shaheen is back! Full outside off, going with the angle from over the wicket and King chases it without any footwork. Plays a loose drive in the air and it's a simple catch at cover for Babar.

Is Dataram who can’t see an association of specific repeatable data points
