Pakistan vs West Indies, 10th Match, Pool B - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

West Indies and Pakistan are coming off dramatic losses in their respective opening games and they will be eager to get the campaign on track when the face off in a Group A clash at Hagley Oval. Pakistan occupy bottom place in Pool B, with West Indies on level higher owing to a better net run-rate. Both are keen to register their first win, and both captains had their own views on what it will take to outdo the other.

In one corner, the cornered tigers - Pakistan. Led by Misbah-ul-Haq, 40, and in his final World Cup. In the other - West Indies, led by Jason Holder, 23, in his first World Cup. Holder is only 27 ODIs old - having led in six - with questions being asked as to why he was saddled with the responsibility of leading an unstable side. Misbah is in New Zealand just months after his batting form and a series of losses prompted calls for his removal. Two men at opposite ends of their careers, but with the task of leading two of the most frustrating teams in world cricket.

Two possible changes to Pakistan's XI could be shifting veteran Younis Khan, who was oddly promoted to open against India despite having not batted in that role since 2009, back to No 4 and playing Sarfraz Ahmed as wicketkeeper instead of Umar Akmal. West Indies will hope that left-arm spinner Suleiman Benn is back to fitness. Benn trained hard and looks good to return, meaning that Kemar Roach, who was expensive against Ireland, could miss out.

These two teams last met for ODIs in the Caribbean in July 2013, a series that Pakistan, under Misbah, won 3-1. Then, Misbah top-scored in the series with 260 runs at 65, with four fifties in five innings. An encore would put Pakistan in a good spot, with some help from his talented team-mates.
