The temperature in Multan, the venue for the three ODIs
is expected to touch 45 degrees centigrade during the day,
and despite the matches starting at 4pm,
is unlikely to give players much respite.

"It won't be a problem for them (West Indies) either, but yes,
they will take a day to adjust to the time zone and weather.
Every team comes with their plans and how they would execute them.
So it won't give us an edge because the weather is the same
as in the West Indies.
When we go there, we also get severe hot conditions."

thats brutally hot

Captain Nicholas Pooran was asked about the plans of WestIndies to win ODI series against Pakistan after three decades? Nicholas Pooran in a lighter note answered "We'll win the series by getting Babar Azam out!!"

Thought he said Jesus will help him beat Mohammed owbp !

Captain Babar Azam "The middle order of Pakistan in ODI looks good. Khushdil Shah has performed well recently. Further the middle order will get more stability with the inclusion of Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz who have batted well in the past aswell."

We heard a rumour yesterday that there is an injury in the West Indies camp.

Kyle Mayers was definitely carrying an injury after the 3rd ODI but it might not be him.

We hear that Keemo Paul is on his way over to Pakistan.

Babar Azam will be the least of his problem !

Pooran’s reflection on his cricket career during a recent interview on the social media platform Instagram reminds one of that old popular
Christian hymn titled, “My Hope is Built on Nothing Less,”
written by Edward Mote.

When darkness veils his lovely face,

I rest on His unchanging grace;

in every high and stormy gale,

my anchor holds within the veil.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

— Edward Mote
