The stage is set for an exciting series decider between West Indies and Pakistan! The umpires have taken their positions, and the players are ready to kick off the match. Pakistan's Naseem Shah is set to bowl the first over, while West Indies' opening pair, Evin Lewis and Brandon King, are ready to face him.

PITCH REPORT - The pitch report for the decider between West Indies and Pakistan suggests that both spinners and pacers will get assistance from the surface. The strip has an even covering of grass on good length and short length areas, while some wet patches at full length may aid the bowlers. The degree of turn has increased, making it a challenge for batters to negotiate both types of bowlers. With hardly any dew expected in the evening and wind playing an interesting role, the conditions promise to be exciting for the match.

West Indies captain Shai Hope emphasized the importance of batting well and assessing the conditions in the upcoming decider. He acknowledged the significance of the opportunity, noting that the team hasn't won a series against Pakistan in a long time, and expressed his desire to create history. Hope also highlighted the team's focus on each game, as they need points to automatically qualify for the World Cup. In terms of team changes, Jediah Blades will be out, and Romario Shepherd will return to the lineup.

Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan stated that his team wants to bowl first, but he's not too concerned about the toss. He believes that playing well is what matters most, regardless of whether they bat or bowl first. Rizwan acknowledged that Pakistan made some mistakes in the previous game but also highlighted the positives they can take forward. The team has made one tactical change, bringing in Naseem Shah in place of Shaheen Shah Afridi to have fresh legs for the decider.
