WI vs PAK Team Previews

West Indies

The West Indies’ woes in the T20 format seem to have no end. After suffering a whitewash against a rampant Australian team earlier this month, they are now on the verge of losing another series as they are 1-0 down heading into this contest.

The opening pair of Jewel Andrew and Johnson Charles gave the team a solid start in the last match as they set out to chase a par score. However, while they did score runs, they did it at a sedate pace, putting pressure on the middle order, and the team eventually fell short of the target by 14 runs.

There are plenty of big strikers in the middle order, including Shai Hope, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, and Roston Chase. However, none of them was able to make much of an impact. Jason Holder and Shamar Joseph did play some lofty shots towards the end, but it was too late to change the fortunes of the team.

West Indies boasts a strong pace attack that will be headlined by Shamar Joseph, Jediah Blades, and Jason Holder. Shamar was in excellent form, picking up 3 wickets, but received little support at the other end. The spin department will be led by Gudakesh Motie and Akeal Hosein.

West Indies Expected Playing 11

Jewel Andrew (WK), Johnson Charles, Shai Hope (C), Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Sherfane Rutherford, Gudakesh Motie, Jason Holder, Jediah Blades, Akeal Hosein, Shamar Joseph

Pakistan

After suffering a heartbreaking series loss against Bangladesh earlier this month, Pakistan redeemed itself by gaining an early advantage here. They will now hope to continue playing with the same momentum and claim the series.

It was a clinical performance by the visitors, especially with the ball, as they successfully defended a par score on what seemed like a good batting surface. Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan are likely to open the batting yet again as they look to give Pakistan a good start.

Ayub was in a particularly good form as he scored a half-century and will look to do the same yet again in this match. The middle order consists of Fakhar Zaman, Hasan Nawaz, and Mohammad Haris, while the all-rounders Salman Agha and Faheem Ashraf add depth to the batting.

Shaheen Shah Afridi continues to lead the seam department along with Haris Rauf, while Sufiyan Muqeem will lead the spin attack.

WI vs PAK Toss Prediction

6 of the last 10 matches played here were won while batting first. In 5 of the last 10 matches played here, the team winning the toss has opted to field first. However, we feel that batting first might be a better option.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Lauderhill is expected to be balanced. There is some grass on the surface, but underneath it is quite hard. The seamers will get plenty of bounce and pace with the new ball. The surface is likely to slow down a bit in the second innings, and the batsmen need to wait for the right delivery to play their shots.

Anything over 175 will be tricky to chase. The weather is likely to remain warm and humid, and there might be some dew later on in the game.

WI vs PAK: Who Will Win?

We are backing Pakistan to win this match. They did a good job with the bat and the ball in the previous match, and we expect them to continue playing well. On the other hand, the West Indies are a struggling lot and need to come up with something special to win here.

Bet on Pakistan to win.

WI vs PAK win percentage stands at 53% in favor of WI.
