Predict the outcome of the 2nd Test between West Indies and Pakistan

[MenInG]

It's do or die for Pakistan now - a 2-0 loss will see them drop to 6th in ICC rankings so they cannot afford a loss but a draw would also mean humiliation.

So can they win the 2nd Test and draw the series?

 

[Ramsay]

Pak should win comfortably.

 

[MenInG]

They will win the 2nd test

Pak should win comfortably.

If Pakistan cannot get to a score of 350 or so, I would say chances of winning or drawing are much less.

 

[BaankeJi]

3 wickets down for 2 runs. Chances not looking good for Pakistan.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should win this game. They need to score 350-400 in the 1st innings.

 

[Last Monetarist]

The West Indies win in the first test was somewhat fortunate, if Hasan Ali or Rizwan had held on to their chances, Pakistan would have won.

Pakistan should be able to draw this series barring an absolute batting collapse in either innings, which isn't out of the question to be fair.

A score above 250 in the first innings should be competitive.

 

[MenInG]

Once Pak cross 300, chances of a WI win reduce considerably in my view.

 

[Saj]

Flat track at the moment.
Weather not great.

The draw looks likely and a series defeat.

 

[PakLFC]

Draw. Rain will kill this match.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Heading towards a draw unless there's an inning victory which looks unlikely. A series loss that could and should have been easily avoided.

 

[Shazzam]

Pakistan wins this easily. We are a much better team than this West Indian team. We got greats like Babar, Rizwan, and Azhar. There is no question in my mind we will dominate this Test match. All I see is tears in the Caribbean's, the Babar Storm will wash them out of this Test match. Pakistan Zindabad!

 

[PakLFC]

Weather for tomorrow in Jamaica isn't looking very clever.

 

[moghul]

In golden era of cricket, before the T20 was born, every country used to host the cricket series during the best time for local weather. March-May used to be the WI window, with nice weather. Now, they play in non-cricketing weather. August and September is the rainy season in Jamaica , not for cricket, not very smart move by PCB . i

Congratulations West Indies on series win sit:

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan still can force a win here.

 

[Last Monetarist]

A draw is all but assured unless something staggering happens from here.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

So many preventable delays. The ground staff, umpires and WICB have been pretty unprofessional throughout the tour.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

This game is hotting up, we could be in for a very productive day 4!

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Pak needs to somehow enforce the follow on. Need to get them out before 151 in their first inning and then maybe 200 in the second.

It’s gonna be good weather tomorrow again according to BBC weather forecast. Ideally Pakistan needs to bowl them out by the 1st session, make runs if needed with a second innings or enforce the follow on if within your power.

Nauman though might come into play tomorrow I feel with some turn on offer.

 

[Line and Length]

Can’t see anything other than a draw unless Pak bowl out of their skin. That is looking unlikely because the senior most bowler has not been threatening outside of a few overs in the first Test. Hassan needs to bowl a lot better than he has this series, and I don’t think Nauman will be a huge factor, not until Day 5 maybe. Can’t expect Shaheen and Faheem to bowl them out for 150 just by themselves.

Nauman's method to take wickets is through pace variation and dip rather than spin. Holder will be a key wicket I reckon
