W Indies win toss

West Indies captain Jimmy Adams won the toss and decided to bat first in the fourth one-day cricket international in the triangular Cable and Wireless Trophy against Pakistan Wednesday.

The West Indies won its first two matches of the series against Zimbabwe and is assured a place in the three-match final series.

Pakistan won its first match of the competition last week in Antigua, condemning Zimbabwe to its third defeat in as many matches.

The West Indies made one change to the team that beat the Zimbabweans two weekends ago in Jamaica. They have replaced fast bowler Mervyn Dillon with local favorite, Vincentian Nixon McLean.

Pakistan welcomed back experienced left-arm all-rounder Wasim Akram, who took the place of fellow fast bowler Mohammad Akram. The 33-year-old Wasim Akram was playing in his 299th one-day international.
