How much lead does Pakistan need to win the 2nd Test against the West Indies?

[MenInG]

152 is what Pakistan lead by when they start their 2nd innings - In my view, with a minimum of 62 overs left today, anything around 300 should be good enough for a win.

 

[Slim]

Should go on a blitz and play it like an ODI and try to end it in the middle of the morning session of last day.

130 runs i.e. a target of 280 will be perfect. However it depends on ur scoring rate. Gotta go t20 mode today.

 

[sweep_shot]

Target of 275 should be good enough.

 

[Rana]

Need to keep an eye on weather and the pathetic windies ground staff

 

[Saj]

Need to get Windies back in tonight even if it's for 7 or 8 overs.

A lead of 300 would be great.

I dont think its about runs. Victory for west indies is already out of the equation. A better question is how many overs should Pak give themselves to bowl WI out in second innings if they are in a position to declare

 

[trickyone]

Runs dont matter, Pakistan needs more than 110 overs to get 10 wickets of WI

 

[BunnyRabbit]

300. Need to throw them a carrot.

62 overs left . . but seems the light deteriorates really fast (and no spinners either so over rates are slow) . . 53 54 overs will be bowled . .
Same for tomorrow . . deduct 8 9 overs because we haven't bowled 90 overs in a day yet . .

In total, I think Pak should give themselves 100 overs minimum which gives Pak 35 overs to bat today . . . at 4 an over that's a lead of 300 . . More than enough I reckon . . and gives 20 overs tonight

Anything above 275

 

[The_KING]

I reckon 250 will be enough against this Windies batting.

Should go on a blitz and play it like an ODI and try to end it in the middle of the morning session of last day.

Loving this approach, good stuff!

 

[MenInG]

350 seems a possibility - no rain forecast as such tomorrow.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

350 should be enough provided they play at the same rate they have been playing at up until this point...and have atleast 15 overs to bowl at the West Indies today.

 

[Saj]

Given they've scored so quickly and the lead is already 288, they may as well stretch it out to 320-330

 

[Mahee]

200 itself is too much for windies....it's a hopless team.....they do not have skill to play test cricket

 

[Firebat]

329 is the target for West Indies after Babar's declaration.

Personally that's enough on the board, considering the level of batting we've seen so far this series.
