PAK vs WI Key battles:
Fakhar Zaman vs Jason Holder
Experienced West Indian all-rounder Jason Holder will look to build on his match-winning four-for in addition to his decisive cameo with the bat in the last match, come the decider.

Saim Ayub vs Akeal Hosein
Saim Ayub, who started the series against the West Indies with a fifty, will look to play a decisive knock in the final game of the three-match series.
Ayub will face the challenge of Akeal Hosein, who is coming on the back of an impressive performance in the last match.
Roston Chase vs Shaheen Afridi
West Indies’ middle-order batter Roston Chase, who showcased his skill with the ball in the second T20I, would hope to come good with the bat in the decider.
Chase will go head-to-head against left-arm pace Shaheen Afridi, who bowled well until the last over in the last match, where he was unable to defend eight runs.
The leader of Pakistan’s bowling attack would want to put the disappointment of the last match to rest and bowl his team to a much-needed series win in the final game of the series.
Shai Hope vs Mohammad Nawaz
Shai Hope, the Windies white ball skipper, will have to take the responsibility and lead from the front for his team to increase their chances of winning.
