PAK vs WI Dream11 Prediction: Welcome to the first T20I between Pakistan and West Indies. International cricket is happening in Pakistan for the first time since New Zealand pulled out, and then England followed suit, just about two months back. West Indies have already arrived, and the first T20I looks set to go ahead despite the positive Covid-19 tests. Pakistan have put their semifinal exit in the T20 world event behind them and has pressed on, rampaging a clueless Bangladesh 3-0 in the T20Is. West Indies on the other hand come to this series on the back of a disappointing group-stage exit in the World Cups. They will be without their full strength squad which provides an opportunity for the youngsters to showcase their talent. This promises to be a spectacular series.
