West Indies fiery opener Chris Gayle is expected to play against Pakistan after recovering from an abdominal strain. Gayle sustained the injury after West Indies’ third group-stage match against Bangladesh in Dhaka. Watch Live Streaming.

West Indies will look to change their run in the quarter-finals after having lost their three games to the Test-playing nations in the league stage. They went down to India, South Africa and England, where, they could have won two of the three games.

Pakistan have been far more consistent and will look to ensure that they can carry forward this form to the next round. They will be favourites to win this game.

Meanwhile the Bangladesh officials have assured State-level security to the West Indies cricket team, It can be recalled that the West Indies bus carrying the players was pelted stones by an angry crowd after Bangladesh’s humiliating defeat.

Bangladesh’s exit from the World cup might impact the attendance at Mirpur, the venue will also host the quarter-final clash between New Zealand and South Africa on March 25.

The highlights videos will be uploaded here after the match is over, so stay tuned.

The West Indies may not have won a game against the big guns yet but are hoping to improve on that record in the first quarterfinal against Pakistan. "It's a do-or-die match," their skipper Darren Sammy said on Tuesday.

"The good thing is that this is the ground where we executed our plans perfectly, so it's good to be back here." Sammy was referring to the game in which his bowlers dismissed Bangladesh for a paltry 58 in a league game.

Sammy is also upbeat that the fitness levels of two crucial players - Chris Gayle and Kemar Roach - don't seem to be an issue any longer. "Both Gayle and Roach participated in our practice today. Roach bowled, Gayle batted and I liked the way they looked. "I know we'll be able to come out with the best combination to win us the quarterfinal. On Wednesday, we'll know the outcome. I know Chris is a very committed fellow and will do whatever it takes to be in a position to win. So come tomorrow I have no doubt he'll do the best that is required," Sammy said.

When TOI spoke to Gayle, he too sounded optimistic. "I'm certainly hopeful of playing the match. It's an important game and we are ready," Gayle said.

So what went wrong with the team during those big matches against South Africa, England and India? Sammy merely smiled and said: "I need some help explaining that. We just crumbled. We lost our way.

"Like I said then, we can't keep losing wickets in patches like that. But that said, we keep finding ourselves in positions where we can win matches. I think in the quarterfinal stage we must grab the opportunity we get."

Pak vs WI: Pakistan celebrates World Cup quarterfinal win

The Pakistani nation celebrated their team's victory in the World Cup quarterfinal on Wednesday in a no-holds manner with the city of Karachi reverberating with the sound of aerial gunshots as soon as Pakistan scored the winning runs against the West Indies.

Young boys and girls, families and senior citizens were seen streaming out on to the streets to join in the wave of celebrations with the sound of firing and car horns honking creating a festive atmosphere.

"It is after a long time that we as a nation have something to celebrate about and I think these celebrations indicate just how frustrated we have been as a nation in recent times due to the manifold problems we face," a senior banker and cricket fan, Azam Khan said as he joined in the celebrations with his two wife and two daughters in Gulshan-e-Iqbal town.

Teenagers wearing Pakistan team shirts or green T-shirts flowed out on the streets and danced to Bhangra beats screaming "The World Cup is ours," and " India here we come."

Momina Khatoon, a housewife joining in the celebration with her grandchildren said she was proud of being a Pakistani. "Our team has made us proud I pray they return home with the cup," she said.

Television channels showed similar celebration parades and dancing from other cities as since afternoon the roads remained largely deserted and many markets remained closed because of the match.

"Today is Pakistan day and the team could not have given us a better gift on this occasion," said student Faiza.

Because of Pakistan day, the government had declared a public holiday allowing people to watch the match properly while leading hotels, clubs and restaurants had also made special arrangements to show the match on big screens drawing big crowds.

Pakistan's politicians also joined in the celebrations sending out messages of congratulations and taking advantage of the victory with patriotic speeches on television channels.

Pakistan's former President, Pervez Musharraf also congratulated the Pakistan team players saying they had made the nation proud but the final word came from cricketer-turned politician, Imran Khan.

"Our nation deserves to win the World Cup we have had nothing to be joyous about in so many years. I think if our team wins the World Cup it would be a great boost for the Pakistani people and their resilience," Imran said.
