West Indies vs. Pakistan first ODI: Five players to watch out for

Johnson Charles

4. Johnson Charles

The right-handed batsman had a good tri-nation series, scoring a match-winning knock of 97 against India in the early part of the tournament.

He scored 185 runs in the four matches that he played at an average of 46.25. He forms a formidable opening partnership with Chris Gayle and has matched him with his aggressive stroke-making.

He has an unorthodox style of batting as he does not have a substantial backlift but is still able to generate a massive amount of power with it.

He has good cricketing sense as he tries to play as straight as possible in the initial overs when the ball is swinging.

He will be put under immense pressure by the likes of Md. Irfan, Junaid Khan and Wahab Riaz. It will be an exciting challenge for the batsman who is never shy for a battle.
