West Indies vs Pakistan 1st T20I Match Prediction. Pakistan and West Indies are ready to lock horns in the first game of the four-match T20I series.
The Caribbean unit must be high on confidence after beating Australia 4-1 within the five-match T20I series. Pakistan, on the opposite hand, is coming off five defeats in their last six international matches.

Babar Azam and Co got to get their act together. Barring the sport against England in Nottingham where they won, the lads in Green looked out of sorts. The visitors will want to form amends at the earliest.

Weather report

Pitch Report

The venue in Barbados recently hosted the three-match ODI series between Australia and West Indies and therefore the track wasn’t helpful for the batters. There was variable bounce and chasing wasn’t a simple task. 12 of the 17 T20Is in Barbados are won by the team, batting first. There are chances of rain around 11 AM within the morning and hence, there might be a brief delay.

Avg score: 154 (17 T20Is in Barbados)

Also read Krunal Pandya, who tested positive on Tuesday morning, has been quarantined and the entire Indian contingent’s RT-PCR test reports are awaited

West Indies vs Pakistan Playing 11 key Players

Babar Azam– Pakistan

Babar Azam has been in decent enough sort of late. within the T20I series against the Brits, he started with a knock of 85 at the Trent Bridge. Although he managed only 22 and 11 within the next two matches, he didn’t look out of sorts. Against the Caribbean team, the 26-year-old has notched 403 runs from 10 matches at a mean of 57.57 with a top score of an unbeaten 97 in Karachi.

Hayden Walsh Jr- West Indies

Hayden Walsh has had an incredible run in recent times. within the five T20Is against the Aussies, the leg-spin bowler picked up as many as 11 wickets and didn’t divulge many runs either. The tweaker is going to be looking to hold his form and rattle the Pakistan batters together with his guile

West Indies vs Pakistan Team News

WEST INDIES

• After a positive Covid-19 test forced West Indies’ ODI series with Australia to overrun, this T20i series with Pakistan will now be a four-match affair as against five.
• Whilst the Windies were beaten 1-2 by the Aussies within the 50 over games, that they had much better luck within the T20i series, beating them 4-1 across the five-match series, and have every reason to be confident of further success here against Pakistan.
• Captain Kieron Pollard was absent for the whole T20i leg of the Australia tour of West Indies , but he recovered in time to feature within the ODIs and can lead a side containing numerous big-hitting batters like Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, and Chris Gayle.

PAKISTAN

• Pakistan head to West India off the rear of an exciting three-match T20i series with England that saw them narrowly lose 2-1 after an exciting decider at Old Trafford which went the way of the hosts.
• Most pleasing for Pakistan coming far away from that series was the shape of their two key batters, captain Babar Azam and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, both little questions set to play a crucial role once more vs the Windies.
