Read on for our betting tips and match prediction for Pakistan vs West Indies second test....
Venue and Toss
523, 566 and 570 are the first-innings scores of the previous three test matches at Sheikh Zayed Stadium. This goes to show how good the pitch has been for batting and so the team that bats first here will want to get to a minimum of 350-400.
Four of the eight tests played at this ground have produced results and of these, three have been won by the side batting first. The toss bias is clearly visible and therefore the team that wins the toss is more likely to make first use of the batting conditions.
West Indies will be in danger of being batted out of the game again if Pakistan win the toss and bat first. So they will need the toss to go their way and put up a good total for staying in the hunt.

If Pak Bat First
Predicted Score: 500-550
Pakistan's batting is set to become even stronger with the return of Younis Khan who currently holds the record of scoring the most test runs for his nation. He had recently hit a double century against England in the final test and is expected to make an important contribution here as well. Azhar Ali scored a triple ton in the first match while Misbah-ul-Haq is the leading run-scorer for Pakistan at this ground. So a good innings from Younis, Azhar and Misbah should see the hosts reach the 500-mark.
The Pakistani batsmen batted with ease against the West Indian fast bowlers but were very uncomfortable against the legspin of Devendra Bishoo. While others were being put away for runs, it was Bishoo's ten-wicket haul that brought the Windies back into the contest. The batsmen also found it difficult to score runs off him and we feel Bishoo is going to be the absolute key in the visitor's bowling attack.

If WI Bat First
Predicted Score: 350-400
Darren Bravo and Marlon Samuels are two of the most experienced batsmen in the West Indian batting lineup and they are the ones who could take the team to the predicted total. Bravo was their best batsman in the first game with scores of 87 and 116 in the respective innings and we expect him to continue his good performance. Samuels gave a good support to Bravo with 76 in the first innings and another decent contribution can be expected of him.
The Windies will have to negotiate the swing from Mohammad Amir at the start of their innings. The pacer got rid of both the openers as well as Samuels in the second innings and Pakistan will be backing him to land a few early blows on the visitors. Legspinner Yasir Shah notched up seven wickets in the match and the West Indian batsmen looked vulnerable against him. If Amir and Yasir bowl well for Pakistan, West Indies may not be able to reach 350.
Pakistan vs West Indies Betting Odds
Pakistan are strong favorites to win this second test match at 1.36 with 1xbet and 1.28 with bet365 while West Indies are distant outsiders at 11. If you expect West Indies to bat the way they did in the first game, betting on a draw at 5.3 with betfair and 5.00 with bet365 could give good returns.
Pakistan vs West Indies Prediction
Pakistan have not lost a test match at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. They have either won or drawn a match here. West indies have never played a test match at this ground and this again is an advantage for the hosts.
Four of the eight tests to be played here have resulted in a draw. The pitch is expected to be flat and we could have long hours of batting from both the teams. West Indies showed good intent with the bat in the first game and nearly managed to eke out a draw. Since they are capable of replicating this performance, placing a bet on a draw won't be a bad idea.
A West Indian victory still seems to be the least likely outcome. Pakistan have beaten England, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand here in the past and their chances of winning this match are more despite the wicket being batsman-friendly.
Although West Indies would have drawn a few positives from their batting, we feel Pakistan are still the superior side in these conditions and therefore predict them to win this match and seal the series.
