DHAKA: Pakistan is struggling to chase West Indies-set 311-run target in the 10th match of ICC Cricket World Cup on Saturday.

Till filing the report, Pakistan lost four wickets to score only one run in 3.1 over. 

Earlier, Ramdin’s 51-run, Simmons’s 50, Russell’s 42 took West Indies to set 311-run target for Pakistan in Pool B match.   

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq won the toss and chose to field first against West Indies at the 10th match of ICC Cricket World Cup on Saturday.

The match kicks off at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, New Zealand at 10:40am local time.

One change has been made in Pakistan, Nasir Jamshed in for Yasir Shah while Roach is out for West Indies, Sulieman Benn is in.

According to Wasim Akram, there's a lot of grass on the pitch and a bit of moisture, but Scott Styris says the grass can mislead teams and the pitch has actually tended to help spinners in recent matches.

West Indies team:  

DR Smith, CH Gayle, DM Bravo, MN Samuels, D Ramdin†, LMP Simmons, DJG Sammy, AD Russell, JO Holder*, JE Taylor, SJ Benn

Pakistan team: 

Ahmed Shehzad, Nasir Jamshed, Younis Khan, Haris Sohail, Misbah-ul-Haq*, Sohaib Maqsood, Umar Akmal†, Shahid Afridi, Wahab Riaz, Sohail Khan, Mohammad Irfan
