CWC19: West Indies opt to bowl against Pakistan at Trent Bridge

May 31 (CRICKETNMORE) - West Indies Captain Jason Holder won the toss and opted to bowl in the second match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 to be played at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.

CWC19, Match No.2: West Indies vs Pakistan, Playing XI

Pakistan: Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Haris Sohail, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfaraz Ahmed (w/c), Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Amir

West Indies: Chris Gayle, Shai Hope(w), Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Jason Holder (c), Carlos Brathwaite, Ashley Nurse, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas

Sarfraz Ahmed (Pakistan Captain): We wanted to field first because of the moisture on the wicket and overcast conditions. It doesn't matter, if we survive the first few overs then it will be a good pitch. Our batting is in good form. We have experience in our bowling line-up and I have confidence in my bowlers.

Jason Holder (West Indies Captain): I don't think conditions are going to change much. Hopefully, we will get some movement and we will get some early wickets. We had a good camp and two decent warm-up matches.
