Pakistan are favourites to win
Pakistan and West Indies begin their three-match ODI series, part of the 2020-23 Cricket World Cup Super League, at the Multan Cricket Stadium, Multan. The hosts won their last ODI series 2-1 against Australia earlier this year. West Indies completed a 3-0 win over the Netherlands on Saturday. Read on as we preview this day-night game. The match begins at 16:00 local time.
Pakistan beat Australia with convincing victories by 6 wickets and 9 wickets in their last two ODIs in March and April. The hosts are a fine white ball side, particularly in home conditions.
West Indies come into this series with momentum after wins by 7 wickets, 5 wickets and 20 runs in their away series against the Netherlands. Pakistan will be a far tougher proposition but we expect West Indies to be competitive.
This match will be shown live on Sony Sports in India, A Sports and PTV in Pakistan, and Flow Sports in West Indies.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on the Sony Liv app.
In the seven ODIs at this venue, only once has the captain who has won the toss chosen to field first. We predict that both skippers will choose to bat first in this match.
This will be the first ODI in Multan since Pakistan beat Bangladesh by 7 wickets in April 2008. Expect a pitch with pace but also one which will turn for the spinners.
It is going to be extremely hot in this game even though the match will not begin until 16:00. The temperature will fall from 44 to 38 degrees during this ODI.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Pakistan vs West Indies 1st ODI Match 2022
This will be Pakistan’s first game since early April when they lost the one-off T20I against Australia after winning the ODI series. We expect Pakistan to have a very similar team to the one which beat Australia with the exception of the returning Shadab Khan who missed that series with a groin injury.
Pakistan have been one of the most consistent white ball teams over recent years and many of their players are game-ready after playing in the T20 Blast and County Championship in England earlier this summer.
Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul-Haq, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Asid Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Shadab Khan, Haris Rauf, Zahid Mahmood, Shaheen Shah Afridi
Shermon Lewis and Jayden Seales both made their ODI debuts in the 20 run victory over the Netherlands on Saturday and we expect both to retain their places in the team for this game. Kyle Mayers and Shamarh Brooks both hit their first ODI centuries on Saturday.
Although West Indies white washed the Netherlands in the recent series, their margin of victory was reduced in each game. However, they come into this match with winning momentum in this format.
Shai Hope (wk), Kyle Mayers, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran (c), Brandon King, Akeal Hosein, Nkrumah Bonner, Alzarri Joseph, Shermon Lewis, Jayden Seales, Hayden Walsh
The teams have been very well matched in this format since their first ODI meeting in 1975. This is the first ODI fixture between the sides since the 2019 World Cup.

Pakistan have always been very strong in home conditions and the bookies are backing them to get off to a winning start in this ODI series.
There are batters with exceptional ODI records on show for both teams in this opening ODI. As they are so consistent with their run scoring, Babar Azam and Shai Hope would get into any ODI team.
Babar Azam, Imam ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman are our batting recommendations for Pakistan. ul-Haq hit 89 not out in his last ODI against Australia at the beginning of April.
Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran and Shamarh Brooks are our batting tips for West Indies. Brooks hit 101 not out from 115 balls on Saturday in the final ODI against the Netherlands.
For Pakistan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan are our bowling tips. Khan has best figures in this format of 4-28.
For West Indies, Jayden Seales, Alzarri Joseph and Hayden Walsh are our bowling tips. Seales marked his ODI debut with figures of 1-59 on Saturday.
With Pakistan beating Australia in their last two ODIs and West Indies winning all three of their matches against the Netherlands, we have two teams coming into this game full of confidence. Overall, we predict that Pakistan will be too strong for West Indies and are backing the home side to win.
