Windies send Pakistan into bat

Sharjah - West Indian captain Jason Holder won the toss and decided to bowl first in the first day-night international against Pakistan in Sharjah on Friday.

The second match will also be played in Sharjah on Sunday while the final match is in Abu Dhabi on October 5.
