Saim Ayub vs Akeal Hosein

Ayub will face the challenge of Akeal Hosein, who will bowl an over or two in the powerplay.

Johnson Charles vs Shaheen Afridi

Experienced West Indies opener Johnson Charles will have to take the responsibility, being the senior batter in the team, and play a decisive innings in the second match to keep the series alive for the team.

Charles will go head-to-head against left-arm pace Shaheen Afridi, who made sure that the opposition didn't score briskly with his accurate bowling in all three phases of the innings in the last match.

Shai Hope vs Mohammad Nawaz

Shai Hope would wish to lead from the front in what happens to be a do-or-die match for the home team.
