Pakistan win toss, bat in 3rd ODI

Abu Dhabi - Pakistan captain Azhar Ali won the toss and opted to bat in the third and final one-day international against West Indies in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.

Pakistan, who have an unbeatable 2-0 lead after winning the first two games - were forced to bring in paceman Sohail Khan after Mohammad Amir had to return home to attend his ailing mother.

Pakistan won the first match by 111 runs and the second by 59 runs - both in Sharjah.
