Pressure Mounts as West Indies Seek to Break Their Losing Streak
The cricket spotlight shifts to Florida this week as the West Indies lock horns with Pakistan in the second T20I of the series. The clash happens at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground on August 3, 2025, starting at 5:30 AM IST—a time that’s sure to have die-hard fans reaching for the coffee. The Caribbean team has hit a rough patch, coming into this game on the back of nine straight T20I defeats. Their hunger to snap that run couldn’t be sharper.
The first game set the tone with Pakistan showing discipline, holding off the hosts to notch a 14-run win. Pakistan’s captain Salman Ali Agha kept things calm at the helm, while West Indies’ veteran all-rounder Jason Holder was one of the few who managed to make an impact. The Windies’ new lineup faces extra pressure in the absence of injured captain Rovman Powell, leaving questions about who will step up when it counts. Jason Holder’s *all-round* game gives West Indies a sliver of hope, but the team's batting will need to click together if they’re going to avoid entering double digits in the loss column.
