It was rather unusual that they entered this tournament with batting looking to be their stronger suit. This was primarily due to an impressive surge in their scoring rates - which saw them cross the 300-run mark a lot often in the series against England. Before the start of the World Cup, their batsmen had scored nine centuries in total - albeit in losing causes - since the beginning of this year, which was the most for any team.
That Pakistan made the record for being the first team in ODI history to score 340 or more runs in three consecutive outings, that also against the number one side at its home, astonished many. After all, this wasn't anticipated due to their abysmal batting record in SENA countries.
With Jofra Archer and Mark Wood making brief appearances in the five-match series, the Pakistan batsmen weren't really peppered with the short-pitched stuff. The largely docile pitches and dry conditions, throughout the course of the series, further masked their collective fallibility on anything short and quick.
But, the West Indies
