Pakistan tour of West Indies, 2nd T20I: West Indies v Pakistan at Kingstown, Jul 28, 2013

Pakistan 135/7 (20.0/20 ov)
West Indies
Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat
Innings break

In the last international of West Indies' home season, Pakistan chose to bat first on a dry pitch that had assisted spin in the first game. Leading 1-0, Pakistan made three changes including dropping Nasir Jamshed, who has had a disappointing tour. Jamshed was replaced by debutant Haris Sohail. The seam department had an overhaul, with Sohail Tanvir and Asad Ali replacing Junaid Khan and Mohammad Irfan. Asad was also making his Twenty20 international debut. Mohammad Hafeez was likely to open the innings.
West Indies, who didn't make it to the final of their home tri-series, lost the bilateral ODI series, and were trailing 1-0 in this Twenty20 series, had one last chance to salvage something from a disappointing home season during which they played Tests only against Zimbabwe. They made one change, dropping Shannon Gabriel, who was ordinary in the first game. Christopher Barnwell came in for him.
