Pakistan look to take 2-0 lead in the series when they face the West Indies in the second One-Day International (ODI) match at Providence, Guyana on Tuesday.
Pakistan won the toss and elected to field.
In the first ODI, Shahid Afridi led the way for Pakistan with an inspired show with the bat and later with the ball to guide them to a convincing 126-run victory over West Indies.
The star all-rounder ended with career-best figures of seven for 12 runs in his nine overs as the West Indian batsmen struggled against his bowling variation. His figures in the last match are the second best by a bowler in ODIs.
However, Misbah-ul-Haq would want his batsman to show more application as their failure has resulted in low scores in the recent past.
Although Pakistan boast of a strong bowling line-up, they would expect the batsman to post bigger scores.
Teams:
West Indies: Johnson Charles (wk), Chris Gayle, Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo (c), Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy, Kemar Roach, Sunil Narine, Jason Holder
Pakistan: Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Misbah-ul-Haq (c), Asad Shafiq, Umar Akmal (wk), Shahid Afridi, Wahab Riaz, Saeed Ajmal, Asad Ali, Mohammad Irfan
