After a spectacular display against West Indies in the T20I series, Pakistan will look to complete another clean sweep in ODIs with a win in 3rd and final tie of the 3-match series.

The agenda of the series was to get into top 8 of ICC ODI rankings and secure automatic passage in the 2019 World Cup.

The narrow two-way fight started off on 30th September and Pakistan haven't squad haven't looked like taking their feet off the gas since then.

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.

Knowing the importance of the series, head coach Micky Arthur had revealed his intentions of getting into the top 4 of ODI rankings before the start of the 2019 World Cup.

"We don`t want to think that we have won the series so back off because we have got so many more goals as a one-day unit to achieve and to be amongst the top four is one of them," said Arthur, also a former South African and Australia coach.

West Indies made two changes, bringing in opener Evin Lewis and paceman Shannon Gabriel in place of Johnson Charles and Carlos Brathwaite.

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