WI vs PAK Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – 1st ODI, Pakistan tour of West Indies, 2025

Match Preview

West Indies and Pakistan head into this ODI series with a point to prove, following disappointing results in their recent international outings. While the hosts were outplayed by Australia, Pakistan suffered a surprising defeat to Bangladesh, raising questions about their ODI setups.

The West Indies will rely heavily on their power-hitters and improving pace attack, while Pakistan’s strength lies in their well-rounded bowling unit and experienced top order.

The Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba hasn’t hosted many ODIs recently, but it’s known for offering something for both batters and bowlers. Early movement under lights and slowish conditions later in the game could make team balance and match-ups crucial in fantasy contests.

Injuries & Illnesses

There are no reports of injuries from either side.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

We are expecting a balanced surface for this match. The pitch is hard and offers good bounce especially when the ball is new. The batsmen need to settle down before they can play the big shots. The surface slows down a bit as the match progresses and the bounce gets a bit inconsistent as well. The spinners can expect some turn once the call gets older.
The weather is likely to remain overcast throughout the day and we can expect interruptions due to rain and could even see DLS come into force.

WI vs PAK Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Mohammad Rizwan is one of Pakistan’s most experienced batsmen and is the obvious choice. Similarly, Shai Hope has been pretty consistent for the West Indies and made it to our team.

Batters

Babar Azam is the top choice as he has an excellent record against the West Indies. We are also bringing in Brandon King. Sherfane Rutherford and Keacy Carty have all-round credentials.

All Rounders

While there are some good all-rounders on both sides, we are opting for Romario Shepherd and Saim Ayub. Ayub was in particularly good form during the T20s.

Bowlers

Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah are among Pakistan’s best bowlers at the moment and made it to our team. We are also including Gudakesh Motie as he has done well with the bat and the ball in recent weeks.

WI vs PAK Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

As mentioned earlier, Saim Ayub had an excellent outing in the T20 series, where he scored 130 runs and picked up 5 wickets as well. He can be a handy all-rounder in the ODIs as well.

Vice-Captain

We are nominating Babar Azam as the vice-captain of our team. He has an excellent record against the West Indies, scoring 5 centuries and a half-century in 10 innings against them.
