Toss Prediction
More often than not the team that has batted first at the Providence Stadium has recorded many more wins than the team batting second. Also the pitch tends to favor the bowlers more, especially spinners, during the latter half of the game. So this makes winning the toss all the more important here and whichever team wins it on Sunday is more likely to bat first. We predict Pakistan to win the toss in this match as West Indies do not have a good toss record at this venue of late.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There are no reports of any injuries in the West Indian camp and it is unlikely that the selectors are going to make any changes to the lineup for this upcoming game.
Key Players
The West Indian batting is going to revolve mostly around Evin Lewis - the only one in the side who has been among the runs in limited overs cricket. Chadwick Walton has shown his capability as a batsman in the past and the team will back him to make a useful contribution. Jason Holder and Devendra Bishoo will be the key bowlers for West Indies. The slowish nature of the pitch could make Bishoo the more threatening of the two.
Recent Form
West Indies are struggling big time in the 50-overs format and they really need to start winning some games if they are to make a direct qualification to the 2019 World Cup. For that to happen, their bowlers will have to bowl well who up till now have been nothing more than ordinary.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11

KOA Powell, E Lewis, Chadwick Walton, SD Hope (wk), JN Mohammed, JL Carter, JO Holder (c), Rovman Powell, AR Nurse, D Bishoo, AS Joseph.
Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Pakistan are expected to go into the second ODI with an unchanged lineup and all the players have been reported to be in good physical condition.
Key Players
Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik and Sarfraz Ahmed form the pillars of Pakistan's batting. Babar is currently averaging a little over 53 in ODIs and he was the team's best batsman in the T20 international series. West Indies will be wary of Shadab Khan who tormented them throughout that series with his cunning legbreaks. He took the most wickets for Pakistan and he once again will be the bowler to watch out for in this match.
Recent Form
Pakistan are performing a lot better than the West Indies in one-day cricket. Though beating Australia on their turf was always going to be a tough job, they still managed to muster a win in that series. They had earlier won a game in England against the hosts before beating West Indies in the UAE.

West Indies vs Pakistan 2nd ODI Prediction
West Indies have been highly inconsistent in the ODIs and their record at the Providence Stadium isn't impressive either. The absence of heavyweights like Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels, Sunil Narine, Dwayne Smith and Dwayne Bravo due to their never ending discrepancy with the West Indies Cricket Board is the main reason for the team's decline in all formats of the game. Pakistan on the other hand have no such issues. They are looking stronger in both batting and bowling departments which is why we predict them to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Pakistan to beat West Indies in the second one-day international.
