West Indies vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE, 2nd T20: PAK eye series win in Florida; toss at 5 AM IST
At Lauderhill in Florida, cricket fans eagerly await the pivotal 2nd T20I between West Indies and Pakistan at the Central Broward Regional Park today. With Pakistan holding a 1-0 advantage after their composed 14-run win in the opener, the stakes couldn't be higher for both sides in this three-match series.
For the West Indies, this encounter is all about keeping themselves alive in the series and pushing for the decider match on Monday. After their powerful batting unit faltered during a critical chase in the first match and with pressure mounting from a string of recent defeats, the hosts are desperate for a spirited comeback. New faces have been drafted into the squad to cover for injured regulars, and the team will look to their aggressive batters and home support to spark a turnaround.
On the flip side, Pakistan are eyeing a decisive blow. Their experienced pace and spin attack effectively stifled the West Indian hitters in the first match, especially Mohammad Nawaz, whose three-wicket over broke the backbone of the West Indies batting line-up. A win today would see Pakistan seal the T20I series with a game to spare—a significant boost as they prepare for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, which will be played in the T20 format, and gain momentum.

West Indies vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE UPDATES 2nd T20: PAK eyeing big win
Pakistan entered this white-ball series after a disappointing 1-2 T20I defeat to Bangladesh, while the West Indies were coming off a tough run themselves, having been swept 0-3 in the Tests and 0-5 in the T20Is by Australia. With both teams low on confidence, a strong start was crucial — and it was Pakistan who seized the early momentum, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series.
Batting first, Pakistan put up a competitive 178, with several players making useful contributions and Saim Ayub leading the way with a fluent half-century. The West Indies began their chase confidently, reaching the halfway mark without losing a wicket. However, despite a strong platform and plenty of firepower, they stumbled in the latter half of the innings as the pitch slowed down and Pakistan's spinners tightened the screws.
With the series staying in Lauderhill, all eyes now turn to the next encounter to see whether West Indies can bounce back or if Pakistan will tighten their grip.

WI Vs PAK: West Indies Announce 15-Member Squad For ODI Series Against Pakistan
Last Updated: West Indies named a 15-member squad for the ODI series against Pakistan in Trinidad, led by Shai Hope. Romario Shepherd returns, aiming to boost their 2027 World Cup qualification. West Indies have announced a 15-member squad for the ODI series against Pakistan, with the three-match tournament scheduled to be played in Trinidad. The squad, led by Shai Hope, includes several young players who have been key for the Windies recently and sees the return of dynamic all-rounder Romario Shepherd. Shepherd is rejoining the West Indies ODI side for the first time since the series against Bangladesh last year. Eighteen-year-old wicket-keeper-batter Jewel Andrew, who debuted in ODIs against Sri Lanka last year, has retained his place after featuring in the ODI series in England earlier this summer. Left-arm pacer Jediah Blades, who earned his first cap against Bangladesh in 2024, has been recalled. Amir Jangoo, who scored a memorable century on his ODI debut against Bangladesh last year, also retains his spot after playing against Ireland in May. The West Indies are coming into the series following a 2-1 T20I series loss at home. Head coach Daren Sammy believes the series provides an opportunity to solidify their qualification for the 2027 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup. 'Pakistan presents a different test and challenge as we continue our push for automatic qualification for the 2027 World Cup," Sammy was quoted as saying. 'While qualifying is our immediate goal, maintaining a winning mentality and team cohesion is essential for long-term success. The upcoming matches against teams like Pakistan, who are ranked higher, provide crucial opportunities to earn valuable ranking points to improve our standing ahead of the World Cup," he added. West Indies are currently ranked 10th in the ICC Men's ODI Team Rankings, while Pakistan are positioned fourth, below India, New Zealand, and Australia. What Is West Indies Squad For Pakistan ODI Series? Shai Hope (c), Jewel Andrew, Jediah Blades, Keacy Carty, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Justin Greaves, Amir Jangoo, Shamar Joseph, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Gudakesh Motie, Sherfane Rutherford, Jayden Seales, Romario Shepherd. view comments First Published: August 06, 2025, 23:13 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sanju Samson Snubbed For Ex-CSK Star Ahead Of Asia Cup 2025, Know All Details
India's experienced wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has not been included in the South Zone squad for the upcoming Duleep Trophy 2025, which begins on August 28. This marks Samson's second successive omission from the domestic circuit, following his exclusion from Kerala's squad during the last edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. What has raised eyebrows is the fact that five other players from Kerala have found a place in the South Zone squad, yet Samson's name is conspicuously missing. The timing of this snub is significant, especially with Samson's spot in India's T20 setup under threat, amid the potential return of Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal ahead of the Asia Cup 2025. No Place in Duleep Trophy, Uncertainty Grows Rumors around Samson's future in the Indian Premier League have also been circulating. Speculation suggests that Chennai Super Kings might be eyeing the Rajasthan Royals captain. However, according to reports from Mumbai Mirror, the Royals are not planning to release him, and Samson is also keen to continue with the franchise. Despite this seeming stability in the IPL, his non-selection in the Duleep Trophy casts fresh doubt on his domestic career trajectory. Participation in Ranji Trophy a Possible Factor One likely reason for the omission could be Samson's limited appearances in the previous Ranji Trophy season. He played only two matches during Kerala's historic run to the final, as he was dealing with injuries and international commitments. This lack of red-ball action may have impacted his chances. The Chairman of the South Zone selection committee, Thalaivan Sargunam Xavier, explained the reasoning behind Samson's omission. "Sanju Samson was not selected because he was unavailable for much of last year's Ranji Trophy season, when Kerala made their historic run to the final. This squad was picked based on players who have consistently performed well in the Ranji Trophy and during India A tours," Thalaivan Sargunam Xavier told TOI. Ex-CSK Star Narayan Jagadeesan will be the wicketkeeper of this team rather than Sanju. South Zone Squad for Duleep Trophy 2025 Tilak Varma (c) (Hyderabad), Mohammed Azharuddeen (vc) (Kerala), Tanmay Agarwal (Hyderabad), R Sai Kishore (Tamil Nadu), Tanay Thyagarajan (Hyderabad), Vijaykumar Vyshak (Karnataka), Nidheesh MD (Kerala), Ricky Bhui (Andhra), Devdutt Padikkal (Karnataka), Mohit Kale (Pondicherry), Salman Nizar (Kerala), Narayan Jagadeesan (Tamil Nadu), Tripurana Vijay (Andhra), Basil NP (Kerala), Gurjapneet Singh (Tamil Nadu), Snehal Kauthankar (Goa
