WI vs PAK dream11 today match prediction: West Indies would be disappointed after having not able to win even a single game in the T20I series where 3 games were washed out due to rain and the only game that happened was won by Pakistan. They were in red hot form in the home season smashing Australia 4-1 and coming close against South Africa.
Both the teams had a poor first edition of WTC and they would be hoping to start the new cycle in a positive manner without any baggage. Pakistan are a top side on paper but it is always their execution that goes wayward. They have a solid core and they won the series in West Indies last time around which should give them a lot of confidence.
WI vs PAK 1st Test dream11 prediction
- Babar Azam averaged just 27 for 136 runs in 6 innings against WI last time around and would be hoping to redeem himself big time in this series.
- Kemar Roach has just played 2 games against Pakistan in his 12 year old career. He has 4 wickets against them. He is leading the West Indian attack this time around.
- Mohammad Rizwan is one of the best wicket-keeper batsmen going around in the world. He had a dream 2020-21 where he averaged 43 against New Zealand and 83 against South Africa at home.
- The skipper of WI Kraigg Brathwaite averages 37 against Pakistan including a century and 2 50s.
