It's overcast at the Trent Bridge, Nottingham. The boundaries are short too. However, there is definitely something for the pacers in the pitch. The wicket looks firm with grass and moisture. However, it looks a batting paradise unless the batsmen don't goof it up. Two of the highest ODI totals have been scored at this ground.

Though both the West Indies and Pakistan are not really the favourites to win the Cup, West Indies showed what they are capable of doing with the bat in the practice match against New Zealand. West scored 421/10 against New Zealand. With hitters like Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Shai Hope and others in their wing, West Indies are a formidable opponent.
On the other hand, Pakistan has not won a single ODI match in their last outing. To make matters worse, Pakistan was defeated by Afghanistan in the warm-up match and their practice game against Bangladesh was washed out due to rain. However, Pakistan's batting linchpin Babar Azam scored a hundred and looks in good touch. Pakistan really need their bowlers to fire if they have to contain the West Indies batting line-up.
Playing XI: Chris Gayle, Shai Hope, Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmeyer, Jason Holder (Captain), Ashley Nurse, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas, Andre Russell, Nicholas Pooran, Carlos Brathwaite.
