ST KITTS: West Indies captain Darren Sammy was confident his side could beat Pakistan in the second Test, starting today at Warner Park, and wrap-up a rare series victory.

West Indies are certain that they can achieve further success, following a 40-run victory in the first Test last Sunday at the Guyana National Stadium, breaking a sequence of 17 matches without a win.

"The victory was a boost in confidence for the guys," said Sammy on the eve of the match.

"The belief in the team is improving, and everybody believes that they can go out there and win against Pakistan.

There is an extra special reason that West Indies will be looking forward to the Test - sixth place in the World Test Rankings at the expense of the Pakistanis await them if they can either win or draw here.

"We as a team, when we met in Barbados before the Sri Lanka tour (in January), we had our plan for the next three years, where we wanted to be, and so far we're working very hard in achieving that target," he said.

"Moving up the rankings is definitely one of our team goals, so we all know what's at stake.
