MUMBAI: Pakistan will be looking to build on their success in the Test series as they take on the West Indies in the first ODI on Tuesday, live and exclusively on Ten Sports.
The home team have had a turbulent year but the last month has all been good with a two nil victory in the test series and Mohammad Yousuf breaking Sir Viv Richards long standing record for most runs in a calendar year.
The visitors will look to their recent good performances in the Champions Trophy to lift them after the Test defeats. In that tournament they gained victories over Australia, India and South Africa to get them to the final but then found the Aussies just too good for them.
As well as the disappointment of losing the Test series the tourists will also have to cope without the services of both Ramnaresh Sarwan and Dwayne Bravo who are out of the series due to a broken foot and personal reasons respectively.
On home soil Pakistan will be favourites to gain victory in the opening match but they know they will have to perform to their best to make sure they get the upper hand.
All the action will be live on Ten Sports starting at 11-15 IST.
