Hello and Welcome to our preview for PAK vs WI 1st T20l. We are covering Pakistan vs West Indies Probable Playing XI, and preview for Dream11 Team Prediction. The first T20 is to be played at National Stadium, Karachi.
Windies will step into a territory of limited overs cricket which they are most comfortable with. But if the recent records are to be seen, Pakistan have an advantage over the tourists. Out of last four T20s played between these two nations, Pakistan have emerged winners in three out of that four. With Home advantage, they can even cause more damage.
Windies will be without big names like Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Evin Lewis. The batting will depend on Jason Mohammed, Chadwick Walton and Marlon Samuels the most along with the others. In Bowling department, They will use the services of Kesrick Williams, Samuel Badree, and to an extent, Veerasammy Permaul.
On the other hand, Pakistan looks more of a balanced side with seasoned players and match winners. With Batting powers of Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman and Ahmed Shahzad, They are well armed in batting department. Shoaib Malik is a very valuable addition to their T20 squad. In Bowling Hasan Ali and Mohammad Amir are pillars, and Shadab Khan can very well be a Trump.
