Preview:
Pakistan will take on West Indies in the 3rd and final T20I of the series. It’s just a formality for the home side as they have already wrapped the series by winning the first two matches. Still, they would want to whitewash the visiting West Indies unit 3-0. As a group, they did everything right in all aspects of the game.
West Indies, on the other hand, showed some improvement in the 2nd T20I, however, they weren’t able to cross the finishing mark and fell short of the target by 9 runs. It’s a matter of pride for them and they look to reduce the margin of loss to 2-1.

The boundaries are way too short which is an added advantage for the batters. The bowlers have to be extremely precise in their line and length on this wicket. The surface will remain the same throughout the match.
