Pakistan vs West Indies: Second T20I Heats Up the Sunshine State
If you’re a cricket fan in India, you’re probably counting down to the second T20 between Pakistan and West Indies. Set against the backdrop of sunny Florida at Central Broward Regional Park on August 3, 2025, this match is more than just another fixture. Pakistan comes in strong, already 1-0 up in the series after a solid 14-run win in the opener. For the West Indies, it’s do-or-die territory—nine straight losses in T20Is have left the Caribbean side stinging.
The West Indies’ spirits took another hit with skipper Rovman Powell ruled out, thanks to a wrist injury he picked up facing Australia. That puts even more weight on the newcomers, like Alec Athanaze, who’s eager to prove himself, and Kevin Sinclair, whose all-round skills might add some much-needed balance. The squad reshuffle makes West Indies a bit of a wild card: the hunger to break this losing run can make teams dangerous.
Meanwhile, Pakistan can afford to breathe easier. With the series in their control, they’re likely to test some bench strength while keeping their mainstays—think Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi—sharp for the decider. The focus is firmly on closing the series early and possibly handing young guns their chance to shine at an international level.
