West Indies vs Pakistan: 2nd ODI - 5 talking points of the match

3. Lack of partnerships

Umar Akmal scored a half-century but didn’t get any support from the other end

Pakistan failed to chase down the moderate total as they could not compile any substantial partnerships and kept losing wickets at key moments.

The biggest partnership of the innings was between Nasir Jamshed and Misbah-ul-Haq who put-up 39 runs together. Even when chasing a moderate total, they needed a batsman to bat through like Misbah did in the first match as the batting order is vulnerable to breakdowns.

Despite a half-century from Umar Akmal, the lower order failed to contribute any significant runs as West Indies brought the collapse dramatically from 103/3 to 195 all out.
