West Indies won the toss and chose to bat against Pakistan in the first ODI at Multan on Wednesday, June 8, 2022.
When the latest report came in, the West Indies score was 237/4 in 43 overs.
Live score
On a smoldering day in Multan, it was unsurprising to see West Indies opt to keep their bowlers in the shadow in the afternoon heat. West Indies are coming in fresh off a 3-0 series triumph over the Netherlands, though the last away ODI series they won before that came in 2011.

Pakistan meanwhile, deteriorates below the automated qualification places for the next ODI World Cup, placed at No. 10 in the Super League standings, and will seek to remedy that in a series they come into as favorites. Pakistan anointed a full-strength side, with Mohammad Haris making his debut, replacing Iftikhar Ahmed in the side. Pakistan’s last ODI home series was against Australia in April, which Babar Azam’s men won 2-1.
