West Indies Team Preview
Jason Holder’s lead side has not learned from the t20 series against Pakistan and thus lost even in the first ODI against the same opposition. The same problem continued for West Indies team as their batsmen are finding it difficult to time the ball in the UAE.
Kraigg Braithwaite played the previous game and it was looking like he was in Test Cricket mode. Darren Bravo failed and his poor form continued. Although, Marlon Samuels showed some resistance but eventually he fell down and rest of the batsman collapse.
West Indies think tank need to find the right combination of the player in order to give the solidity in the middle order. Meanwhile, it is believed that Evin Lewis will make his ODI debut in this match and Kraig Brathwaite will sit out. The bowling unit of the team is led by Shannon Gabriel and Sunil Narine.
West Indie must win this match in order to make their series hope alive as lost in this game will even cost them the series.
