WI vs PAK 2025: West Indies vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I Match Preview

After facing a disappointing 14-run loss in the series opener, the West Indies (WI) will be up against Pakistan (PAK) for the second T20I on Sunday, August 3 at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill.

The West Indies will be coming into this competition on the back of their sixth consecutive loss in T20Is. The two-time T20 World Cup-winning side will definitely not like yet another series defeat in the format, and as a result, they will have to be at their absolute best to level the series and then head into the series decider.

On the contrary, Pakistan came into the series after a 1-2 loss to Bangladesh in the three-match away series. They defeated the Caribbeans in the opening game of the series at the same venue, and will be looking forward to yet another win on Sunday to seal the series and stage a strong comeback.

Match Details

Pitch Report

The surface at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill is considered to be a belter wicket to bat on, and the nature doesn't change much even as the game progresses. However, teams opting to defend the target have had an upper hand, as in the 18 games played here, a staggering 12 have been won by the teams batting first. A similar result was on display in the previous game played here, and as a result, the captain winning the toss will be inclined to set a total for the opposition and have enough faith on his bowlers on Sunday.
