Pakistan’s captain, Mohammad Rizwan, acknowledged a dilemma about the fifth bowling player and said they would make a late decision about the combination of his team for the decision maker on Tuesday after his defeat in the second one -day international on Sunday.
Pakistan, who won the opening hate for five WICKETS, recorded a competitive 171-7 in 37 overs in a rain truncated match, but the Western Indies prevailed by five WICKETS to attract the level in the three-game series.
The part -time duo of Pakistan of Saim Ayub and Salman Agha admitted 66 races combined in seven overs without wickt while the Western Indies sailed at home.
“You could say that our fifth bowling player gave too many races, but in recent years, Salman Agha and Saim Ayub have launched well for us,” Rizwan said after the game.
“Saim did not have the best day today, but he worked well in the T20IS. That is only part of the game.”
Rizwan said they could not read the conditions and that several delays in the rain did not help their cause.
“Honestly, the weather forecast has been completely different from expectations, and is difficult to read.
“We keep our options open and we will finish the XI after evaluating the conditions.”
Pakistan had won the previous Twenty20 series 2-1.
