Iconic duo's final outing

Windies-Pakistan third Test starts today

After the West Indies staged a remarkable fightback to win the second Test and square the series against Pakistan, both sides will have it all to play for in the series decider which will get underway in Dominica on Wednesday.

The West Indies will be seeking to prove that their win in 106-run win in Barbados was no fluke, while Pakistan will be attempting to get back to winning ways at Windsor Park in Roseau, which will be hosting only its fifth Test.

For Pakistan stalwarts Misbahul Haq and Younis Khan, it will be their final outing on the international stage -- both players will retire from Test cricket after the match, having earlier retired from the other formats of the game.

Misbah has already ensured that his final series will go down in the history books after scoring 99 in both of the first two matches. He was stranded on the ill-fated in the first innings of the first Test at the Sabina Park in Kingston, before being dismissed for 99 in the first innings of the second.

Meanwhile, Younis has underwhelmed in the two matches so far, scoring 69 across four inning with a high score of 58 in the first innings of the first Test.

The second Test was an unspectacular one until Shannon Gabriel's five for 11 in the second innings brought the game to life, and both teams will be looking for much-improved performances across the board in the decisive Test.

Aside from Gabriel's outburst, another positive from the second Test for the hosts was the performance of Shai Hope, who finally looks like making good on his promise as a Test batsman after registering his first fifty and falling just ten runs shy of a maiden century.
