The home side Pakistan will take on the West Indies in a three-match ODI series slated to start on June 8 (Wednesday). All three matches of the series will be played at the Multan Cricket Stadium and the visitors will have their tasks cut out in front of a strong-looking Pakistan squad.

However, the West Indies side will have their confidence high as they are coming to the series after defeating the Netherlands by a margin of 3-0 in a recently concluded ODI series. The Men in Green are a very strong side on their home turf and West Indies will have to bring out their A-game to come on top.
