Georgetown – West Indies won the toss and chose to bat against Pakistan in the rain-delayed third Twenty20 International at the Guyana National Stadium (GNS).
Andre Russell returns to the Windies line-up in place of injured left-handed opener Evin Lewis and Haris Rauf replaces left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi in the Pakistan 11.
Play is now scheduled to start at 11:15 a.m. because of rain.
Windies trail 0-1 in the four-match series, after the first T20I at Kensington Oval in Barbados ended in a no-result this past Wednesday, and Pakistan won the second T20I at the GNS on Saturday.
