Green shirts will try their luck in the fourth and last T20 against West Indies Today, Tuesday. They will work hard to claim the series by 2-0. Pakistan had to play 5 matches but the first match was abandoned after a positive COVID-19 case emerged in the West Indies camp. The series was restricted to four matches but the 2nd and 4th matches of the series were slashed down by heavy rain.
Pakistan has the opportunity to win the series as it has already claimed one victory in the second match. If rain disturbs today’s match, Pakistan will win the series by 1-0.

West Indies, however, has a chance to level the series which will certainly be a herculean task for the home side. West Indies opener pair, Evin Lewis and Lendl Simmons are already out of the competition due to their injuries. Â Obed McCoy and Fidel Edwards are also not at 100% which has disturbed the balance of the West Indian side.
It is to mention here that for West Indies, today’s match is the last match before T20 World Cup which is starting from October 17, in UAE. Pakistan, however, will play two matches against England before the upcoming T20 World Cup.Â
