Form Guide

Pakistan will aim for a pure sweep in the ODD series against the West Indies with victory as their only goal. Their previous tour to New Zealand ended up in a 3-0 Whitewash defeat.

Meanwhile, the ongoing series doesn’t favor the hosts either. They were smashed in the T20i series against Pakistan and lost the ODD series. Before this, they were defeated 3-0 by England in a three-match 50-over series.
