PORT OF SPAIN: Following successive victories in first two games of the four-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series, Pakistan will now be aiming to seal the series when they take on West Indies in the third game at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain today (Saturday).

Pakistan came up with a commendable performance in the first T20 to beat West Indies convincingly by 6 wickets, while the second T20 turn out to be a nail-biting contest between the two sides, the visitors were able to come on the top with 3 runs victory.

Meanwhile, the West Indies fail to put up a stellar show in the first fixture, but did well enough with a gutsy show in the second T20.

The T20 Champions will be hungry to draw the series, and win the last couple of games and salvage some pride.
