The second match Cricket World Cup 2019 will see Windies and Pakistan taking on each other at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham. Both teams are previous champions and will be looking to start with a win to set their respective foundations in the 45-day tournament.
Pakistan’s recent form has not been great as they are coming into this match after losing the 5-match ODI series against England 0-4, and then lost against Afghanistan in the warm-up match by 18 runs.
Meanwhile, Windies are coming into Cricket World Cup after losing the triangular series final at the hands of Bangladesh in Ireland. However, they got some winning momentum by their side when they tormented New Zealand in the Warm-up game by 91 runs after scoring a mammoth 421 batting first.
