Karachi: Pakistan will lock horns with West Indies in the 2nd T20I of the three-match series in Karachi today at 6:00 PM (PST), aiming to clinch the series.

The match will start at 06:00 pm Pakistan Standard Time (PST).

Earlier on Monday, Pakistan beat West Indies by 63 runs in the first T20I match at the National Stadium in Karachi.

Mohammad Rizwan and Haider Ali struck fiery half centuries in the first Twenty20 international. Rizwan smashed a 52-ball 78 with 10 boundaries -- his 12th half-century and 11th this year -- while Haider scored a career-best 68 to guide the hosts to 200-6 in their 20 overs.

The National Command and Control Center had allowed full capacity crowd at the National Stadium in Karachi, allowing spectators to watch the matches between Pakistan and West Indies after the request of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).  

This becomes Pakistan’s 13th win in 19 Twenty20 internationals against West Indies, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Earlier, West Indies suffered a huge blow ahead of its T20I series after it was confirmed that the touring cricketers, along with a non-coaching member of the squad, have tested positive for COVID-19 and are ruled out of the series.
