PAK vs WI, 2nd ODI Live Updates: Babar Azam reached his half-century — his sixth consecutive 50-plus score in ODIs — but Pakistan lost Imam-ul-Haq soon after, as the opener was run out following a mix-up. Imam himself scored his sixth 50+ score in a row in ODIs, falling for a run-a-ball 72. The two had put on a partnership of 120 runs following Fakhar Zaman’s early dismissal. Earlier, Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat against West Indies in the second ODI of their three-match series in Multan on Friday. A century from Babar Azam — his third in as many matches in the format — powered Pakistan to a 5-wicket win in the first ODI at the same venue, and the hosts will be looking to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 2nd ODI. West Indies will look for an improved bowling performance, while their skipper Nicholas Pooran will also be hoping to make a bigger impact with the bat. They were powered to a score of 305/8 thanks to Shai Hope‘s magnificent century, but the bowlers failed to defend the total. Pooran has failed to really fire since beginning his stint as West Indies’ limited overs captain. (LIVE SCORECARD)
