Match factsOctober 2, SharjahStart time 1500 local (1100 GMT)Big pictureA change of formats has not brought a change in fortune for a faltering West Indies side. Having been blanked out in the T20I series, they lost the first ODI in Sharjah by 111 runs. While West Indies continued to struggle to get enough runs on the board in spin-friendly UAE conditions, Pakistan would be cheered that many of their younger players are at the forefront of the winning momentum they are starting to build.Among those young guns is 21-year-old top-order batsman Babar Azam, who stroked his maiden international century in the first ODI. Opener Sharjeel Khan and left-arm spinners Imad Wasim and Mohammad Nawaz are other less experienced players who have shown signs that they may have bright careers ahead of them. For the time being, they are fueling Pakistans progress and West Indies demise in a tour that has so far been utterly one-sided.For West Indies, one of the main stumbling blocks has been their failure to put up competitive totals on tracks that are not conducive to their free-spirited, big-hitting game. As captain Jason Holder acknowledged, they need to rotate the strike better and show the application to build an innings.A win in the second ODI would seal the three-match series for Pakistan, but there is more riding on it than that. A 3-0 series victory for Pakistan would displace West Indies from the No. 8 position in the ODI rankings. As both teams eye direct qualification for the 2019 World Cup (for which they would need to be in the top eight on September 30, 2017) such encounters acquire added significance.Form guidePakistan WWLLL (completed matches, most recent first)West Indies LLWLLIn the spotlightIn the opening ODI, Pakistan captain Azhar Ali nicked the first ball of the match, and his first of the tour, to depart for a golden duck. Azhar, who averages 38.69 in 26 ODIs as captain, will be under mounting pressure to prove that he can juggle the responsibilities of captaincy and opening the batting. At issue is not just whether he can churn out enough runs, but whether he can do so at a strike rate in tune with the new brand of cricket that coach Mickey Arthur wants to inculcate in his charges. Given that Azhar had earlier declined the PCBs request to relinquish the captaincy and focus on his batting, he would doubtless feel he has a point to prove.While Holder has spoken of the need for his batsmen to play spin better, he would also want more from his own lead spinner, Sunil Narine. After going wicketless in the T20I series, Narine returned figures of 1 for 58 in 10 overs in the first ODI. He was outbowled not only by team-mate Sulieman Benn but also by Pakistans far less experienced spinners. If it is unrealistic to expect West Indies batsmen to dramatically improve against spin overnight, then at least a better showing by Narine could narrow the gap between the sides.Team newsUmar Akmal must be itching to break back into the ODI side, but Pakistan are unlikely to change their winning combination as they seek to build consistency and stability in their limited-overs set-up.Pakistan (possible): 1 Azhar Ali (capt), 2 Sharjeel Khan, 3 Babar Azam, 4 Shoaib Malik, 5 Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), 6 Mohammad Rizwan, 7 Mohammad Nawaz, 8 Imad Wasim, 9 Wahab Riaz, 10 Mohammad Amir, 11 Hasan AliIn West Indies continuing quest for top-order runs, they may consider replacing the scratchy Kraigg Brathwaite, who made his ODI debut in the first match, with Jonathan Carter or Evin Lewis. The rest of the XI is not expected to change much.West Indies (possible): 1 Evin Lewis/Jonathan Carter, 2 Johnson Charles, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 6 Kieron Pollard, 7 Jason Holder (capt.), 8 Carlos Brathwaite, 9 Sunil Narine, 10 Sulieman Benn, 11 Shannon GabrielPitch and conditionsNearly 80 minutes were lost due to a floodlight failure during the first ODI. With Sharjah set to host the second match as well, it is hoped that those issues have been adequately tackled. The weather has been consistently hot and the pitch is likely to be similar in nature to that of the first match. Expect a flat, batting-friendly surface with assistance on offer for disciplined spin bowling. Given the afternoon heat, bowling first might be best avoided.Stats and triviaKieron Pollard is one match short of completing 100 ODI appearances for West Indies. He has played 99 matches, scoring 2256 at 25.93 and picking up 49 wickets at 38.63Four of Pakistans six biggest ODI wins against West Indies (in terms of runs) have come in Sharjah. Fridays 111-run win was their fourth largest.Sharjeel Khan has a strike rate of 150 in ODIs in 2016, the best among batsmen who have scored 150-plus runs this year. He has scored 306 off 204 balls in seven innings.QuotesI have had the experience of playing in Sharjah, and it worked well for me to score a maiden hundred. What I did was just to stay till the end and get as many runs as I could; the coach had asked me to play my natural game.Pakistan batsman Babar Azam, after scoring his 120 off 131 to set up Pakistans winSpin has played a heavy part in our downfall. We need to find a way to tick over the scoreboard then maximise our boundary options. We need to buckle down better against spin.West Indies ODI captain Jason Holder on where his side can improve.

Hope everyone enjoyed a great Turkey Day!If you owned Kirk Cousins (449 yards and 3 TDs), DeSean Jackson (4 for 118 and a TD), Jordan Reed (10 for 95 and 2 TDs), Ezekiel Elliott (97 yards and 2 TDs), Ben Roethlisberger (221 yards and 3 TDs), LeVeon Bell (120 yards and a TD) or Antonio Brown (5 for 91 and a TD), then you must be very thankful.Injuries to monitor in Week 12:TE Rob Gronkowski -- chest (doubtful)TE Martellus Bennett -- ankle (questionable)WR Jeremy Maclin -- groin (doubtful)WR Robert Woods -- knee (doubtful)RB Ryan Mathews -- knee (questionable)RB Lamar Miller -- ankle & ribs (questionable)RB Mark Ingram -- concussion (questionable)LOCKSQB = Carson Palmer @ AtlantaPalmer hasnt had the best fantasy season, but he has a chance to throw owners a bone in Week 12 against an Atlanta defense that has allowed the second-most passing touchdowns this year -- 23 to be exact. Palmer should pass for over 300 yards against the 30th-ranked Falcons pass defense that has given up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.(Other = Marcus Mariota @ Chicago, Eli Manning @ Cleveland)WR = Emmanuel Sanders vs. Kansas CitySanders has been a target monster, and this week, he takes on a Chiefs secondary that has allowed the most yards per game to receivers this season. Kansas City has given up the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2016.(Others = Jarvis Landry vs. San Francisco, Doug Baldwin @ Tampa Bay, Brandin Cooks vs. Los Angeles)RB = Rashad Jennings @ ClevelandJennings has delivered for the Giants the past few games, averaging almost 5 yards per carry over the past two weeks. Hopefully hell keep this flow going against a Cleveland defense that has allowed more than 140 rushing yards per game. The Browns have given up the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs this season.(Others = Thomas Rawls @ Tampa Bay, Jay Ajayi vs. San Francisco)TE = Tyler Eifert @ BaltimoreThe Bengals best red zone weapons, A.J. Green and Gio Bernard, are done for the year. Eiferts role moving forward is huge for fantasy owners. Eiferts matchup against the Ravens isnt the most favorable, but his target number will increase, and his services will be needed for a Bengals win.(Others = Antonio Gates @ Houston, Zach Ertz vs. Green Bay)FLOPSQB = Matt Ryan vs. ArizonaRyan takes on a Cardinals defense that has allowed two passing touchdowns in a game only once this season. Arizona has allowed the second-fewest net passing yards in 2016 and has given up the third-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks thus far. Matty Ice is frozen come Sunday.WR = Tyrell Williams @ HoustonWilliams takes on a Texans seccondary that has been stingy to opposing wideouts this season, allowing just the third-fewest fantasy points to the position.dddddddddddd Houstons defense is allowing a little under 210 passing yards a game (not good for Philip Rivers either), which is fourth in the league, and has given up the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.RB = Latavius Murray vs. CarolinaMurray faces a Panthers defense allowing less than 82 yards a game, which is second in the league. Carolina has given up the eighth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Murray is no more than a flex play in Week 12.TE = Coby Fleener vs. Los AngelesFleener has been one of the most inconsistent tight ends this season. Frustrating, I know. The Rams defense ranks in the top 10 against opposing tight ends. Fleener is not in my top 12 Sunday.SLEEPERSQB = Tyrod Taylor vs. JacksonvilleTaylor has put up the most rushing yards of any quarterback this season. If youre missing Andrew Luck in your lineup this week, Taylor is a nice streaming option against a Jaguars team that has allowed over 15 fantasy points per game to opposing gunslingers.(Honorable mention = Ryan Tannehill vs. San Francisco)WR = Rishard Matthews @ ChicagoMatthews has five touchdowns since Week 5, and has been heavily targeted in the red zone as of late. The chemistry between him and Mariota is terrific. Matthews is a solid WR2 against a Bears defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to receivers this season. Chicago ranks 27th in yards allowed per game to wide receivers.(Honorable mentions = Michael Thomas vs. Los Angeles, Sterling Shepard @ Cleveland, DeVante Parker vs. San Francisco)RB = Jeremy Hill @ BaltimoreThe Ravens are very good against ball carriers this season, not allowing over 100 yards rushing their past five games. However, Giovani Bernard (knee) is out for the season, and Hill will be the featured back for the Bengals moving forward. Expect Hill to get the workload, making him a solid RB2 option Sunday.(Honorable mention = Kenneth Dixon vs. Cincinnati, James Starks @ Philadelphia)TE = Will Tye @ ClevelandTye has become the Giants starting tight end. This week he lines up against a Browns defense that has given up the most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Isnt that nice! If Gronk is inactive come Sunday, grab this bad boy off the waiver wire and feel good about it.(Honorable mention = C.J. Fiedorowicz vs. San Diego, Dennis Pitta vs. Cincinnati)Good luck in Week 12!
