Preview:
Pakistan and West Indies will battle it out in the second T20I on Saturday, July 31. The first T20I was washed out due to the rain. That game had previously been reduced to nine overs, wherein the hosts lost 5 wickets with 85 runs on board. Kieron Pollard, however, displayed some belligerent show with the willow.
For Pakistan, Hasan Ali picked up 2 wickets. Heading into the second T20I, both the teams would be keen to register a win. It would thus be a fascinating watch for the cricket enthusiasts.
