SHARJAH (Dunya News) – Pakistan are all set to face West Indies in second one-day international to be played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium today (Sunday).

The match will start at 4pm (PST).

Sources told that Umar Akmal has been included in the team as a replacement of Mohammad Rizwan.

Earlier, Babar Azam hit his maiden century while spinner Mohammad Nawaz grabbed four wickets as Pakistan thrashed the West Indies by 111 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis method in the first day-night international.

Azam’s rapid-fire 139-ball 120 helped Pakistan post a challenging 284-9 in a match reduced to 49 overs a side due to a 70-minute floodlight failure at Sharjah Stadium in the UAE.

West Indies -- set 287 to win -- never got close and folded at 175 in 38.4 overs.

The victory gives Pakistan a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, building on their 3-0 whitewash in the Twenty20 series.
