The Cricket West Indies (CWI) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have agreed to play a four-match T20I series instead of the original five-match series. Both teams agreed to drop a T20I after the current West Indies - Australia ODI series was hit by a positive COVID-19 case, just before the start of the second ODI which was originally slated to begin on 22nd July.
The second ODI was then pushed to Saturday (24 July). With a last-minute COVID-19 scare, the series between West Indies and Pakistan had to be modified and hence CWI and PCB altered it to a four-match T20I series.
The first game will now start on Wednesday (28 July) in Barbados. All the remaining three games will be held in Guyana on the 31st, 1st, and 3rd.
“Together with the PCB
The hosts come into the series on the back of a stellar show against Australia where they thrashed the visitors 4-1 in the T20I series. Pakistan, on the other hand, had a disappointing tour to England and could only win one of the six white-ball games. The series will be the final opportunity for both teams to fix their jigsaw before the T20 World Cup.
