Can Pakistan Overcome the Weather and the West Indies to Win the Series?

As the Pakistan and West Indies teams get ready for the final match of their three-game one-day international series, there’s a lot more on people’s minds than just the game itself. Everyone is also looking up at the sky in Tarouba, wondering if the weather will once again decide the outcome.

With the series tied at one win each, this deciding game at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy is set for a tight finish. The forecast, however, suggests it could be another interrupted affair, much like the last match.

The second game, where fifteen overs were lost to rain, gave the West Indies a chance to come back and win, tying the series. Now, it looks like conditions won’t be much different. Forecasters are predicting showers all through the day, with the usual hot and sticky conditions for the players. There might be some light rain in the morning, which could turn into heavier downpours later in the afternoon. With an 85% chance of rain and a 25% chance of thunderstorms, it seems like the weather could be a major factor. The winds are also expected to be strong, blowing from the east at up to 33 km/h.

It’s worth remembering, though, that the first game was also supposed to have bad weather, but it went on without any major problems. So, it’s not a sure thing that this match will be interrupted.

After their win in the last match, the West Indies are in a great position. A victory in this final ODI would be their first series win against Pakistan since all the way back in 1991. The stakes are high for both sides, and it’s going to be a tense finish, whether it’s on the field or off it.
