DUBAI: West Indies captain Carlos Brathwaite won the toss and put Pakistan into bat in the second Twenty20 International here at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

Pakistan lead the three-match series 1-0 after romping to a nine-wicket win in the first game -- also in Dubai -- on Friday.

Both teams kept the same eleven, with Pakistan resisting the temptation of playing Mohammad Amir, who was also rested for the first game.

The third match will be played in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.

Teams:

Pakistan: Sharjeel Khan, Khalid Latif, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Umar Akmal,  Sarfraz Ahmed (captain & wk), Mohammad Nawaz, Imad Wasim, Wahab Riaz, Sohail Tanvir, Hasan Ali

West Indies: Johnson Charles, Evin Lewis, Andre Fletcher (wk), Marlon Samuels, Dwayne Bravo, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard, Carlos Brathwaite (captain), Sunil Narine, Jerome Taylor, Samuel Badri

Umpires: Ahmed Shahab (PAK) and Shozab Raza (PAK), Tv umpire: Ahsan Raza (PAK), Match referee: Andy Pycroft (ZIM)
