The first T20 match of the four-game series between Pakistan and west indies will be played on March 26, 2017, at the Kensington Oval, Barbados. Fans in the US can watch the t20 match live on Willow TV,
The game will begin at 9:30 p.m. (Pakistan time). Stay tuned for the toss.
This series is quite crucial for Pakistan, as they are now ranking 9th and 7th in the ODI and T20 ranking respectively. In order to boost their status and to avoid playing the qualifying round of the 2019 ICC World Cup, they need to win games with big margins in this series.
Pakistan is always the most unpredictable side in World Cricket, and on their day, they can defeat even the mightiest team in the world.
The West Indies side, on the other hand, is playing excellent cricket for the past couple of months, and while playing against Pakistan, they will be trying hard to erase those horrible memories during their previous UAE tour.

The pitch in Barbados is flat, and the ball is expected to come on to the bat directly. The Captain who wins the toss will not have any hesitations to bat first, as chasing a big total in this surface is quite difficult.
