Pakistan skipper Babar Azam became the first batter to knock three successive one-day international hundreds twice as he anchored a five-wicket win over the West Indies in Multan on Wednesday.
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.

Pakistan hosts the West Indies in the three-match limited-overs international series starting Wednesday. The temperature is expected to top 45 degrees Celsius (113 F) this week in Multan, and organizers have pushed back the starting time for games to 4 p.m. local time to offer some respite.
In the ongoing Pondicherry T10 Tournament, 15-year-old Krishna Pandey emulated the likes of Yuvraj Singh, Ravi Shastri and Kieron Pollard as he smashed six sixes in an over. In the match between Patriots and Royals, the latter were chasing 158 and in the sixth over of the match, Pandey teed off. Taking on Nitesh Kumar, Pandey hit five sixes on the trot before the bowler bowled a wide. The extra delivery, however, was also a maximum, albeit off a mishit.
A superb unbroken sixth wicket partnership of 118 between Brandon King and Keacy Carty steered the West Indies from potential embarrassment in Amstelveen to a five wicket victory over Netherlands in the second one-day international on Thursday.
