PAK vs WI, 2nd ODI Live Updates: Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat against West Indies in the second ODI of their three-match series in Multan on Friday. A century from Babar Azam -- his third in as many matches in the format -- powered Pakistan to a 5-wicket win in the first ODI at the same venue, and the hosts will be looking to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 2nd ODI. West Indies will look for an improved bowling performance, while their skipper Nicholas Pooran will also be hoping to make a bigger impact with the bat. They were powered to a score of 305/8 thanks to Shai Hope's magnificent century, but the bowlers failed to defend the total. Pooran has failed to really fire since beginning his stint as West Indies' limited overs captain. (LIVE SCORECARD)
After winning the first T20I, Pakistan will look to seal the series when they take on West Indies in the second T20I at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Friday. Pakistan chased down a total of 306 to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series in Multan. Shai Hope's 127-run knock was cancelled out by Babar Azam, before Khushdil Shah's quickfire knock took Pakistan home with four balls to spare. Both teams are likely to remain unchanged for the second T20I.
International cricket returned to Multan after almost 14 years on Wednesday, with Pakistan facing West Indies in the first ODI of the three-match series. After electing to bat, West Indies lost the wicket of in-form batter Kyle Mayers in the third over after Shaheen Shah Afridi showed quick reflexes to complete a return catch. Shai Hope and Shamarh Brooks then added 154 runs for the second wicket before the latter was dismissed on 70 by Mohammad Nawaz. The credit for Brooks' dismissal largely goes to Shadab Khan, who took a wonder catch to end the dangerous looking stand.

Meanwhile, Shaheen Shah Afridi has provided the goods with the ball, and will look to move on the same path.

Pakistan's ODI series against West Indies, but visiting skipper Nicholas Pooran is not overly concerned about the conditions in Multan. The sides begin a three-match series later on Wednesday in one of Pakistan's hottest cities, with temperatures likely to hover around 45 Celsius (113 Fahrenheit) on all three days. The series could not be played in December due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the West Indies camp and was shifted out of Rawalpindi last month following political rallies in nearby Islamabad.
LAHORE : Delayed starts, extra breaks and ice collars are some of the measures being taken to help players beat the heat in Pakistan's one-day series against West Indies but visiting skipper Nicholas Pooran is not overly concerned about the conditions in Multan.
Pakistan cricket team is gearing up to face West Indies in a three-ODI series in Multan starting with the first match on Wednesday. Heat is going to play a major factor in the series as the temperature in the Pakistan city is expected to hover around 45 degree Celsius. The players are also aware of this. "It's a challenging scenario but now it has been decided and we are preparing for it. Definitely it is hot, but we are having a conditioning camp and acclimatising to the weather. We started our training camp earlier in the day from 2:30pm so that we could feel the heat and get ourselves ready for the matches," Babar Azam, Pakistan captain, said in a press conference recently.
