West Indies kept the T20I series alive with a thrilling two-wicket win over Pakistan in the second match at Lauderhill, Florida. Jason Holder starred for the Windies, taking four wickets to restrict Pakistan to 133/9 before hitting the winning boundary off the last ball, when West Indies needed three runs from the final delivery[1].
The series is currently tied 1-1, with Pakistan having won the opener by 14 runs after posting 178/6 to West Indies‘ 164/7[2]. In the high-pressure second match, Pakistan’s top order stumbled and only a partnership between Agha Salman and Hasan Nawaz brought some stability, taking the total to a modest 133. Holder’s performance made him the top wicket-taker for West Indies in T20Is, surpassing the legendary Dwayne Bravo[3].
The third T20I is taking place at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, with both teams eager to take the lead in the series. Fakhar Zaman, who was injured in the second T20I, has been ruled out of the third game as well as the upcoming ODI series due to a left hamstring strain[6]. Both squads have seen some reshuffling, with Pakistan likely to include Khushdil Shah or Hasan Nawaz, while West Indies stick with experienced campaigners such as Shai Hope and Jason Holder[5].
The series includes six matches overall, running from July 31 to August 12, with the next T20I scheduled for August 8[2]. Detailed live coverage and current scores can be followed through several platforms, as West Indies and Pakistan continue to battle for supremacy in a tightly contested series[7].
