KARACHI: Pakistan once again chose to chase as Misbah ul Haq won the toss and put West Indies to bat first in the fifth and final One Day International at the Beausejour Stadium in St Lucia on Wednesday.
Pakistan replaced Wahab Riaz with Asad Ali while West Indies brought in Tino Best in place of the injured Kemar Roach.
Following a six-wicket win in the rain-affected fourth match at the same venue on Sunday, the tourists enjoy an unbeatable 2-1 lead in the series and the hosts are under increasing pressure to get the win that will square the rubber and at least reassure Caribbean fans that the regional team is steadily improving in the countdown to the next World Cup.
The third fixture, also played at Beausejour, finished in a tie.
West Indies: Devon Smith, Johnson Charles (wk), Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Chris Gayle, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo (capt), Darren Sammy, Sunil Narine, Tino Best, Jason Holder
Pakistan: Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Misbah-ul-Haq (capt),Haris Sohail, Umar Akmal (wk), Shahid Afridi, Asad Ali, Junaid Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Irfan
