Pakistan vs West Indies 3rd Test Prediction

If WI Bat First

Predicted Score: Around 300

Darren Bravo and Marlon Samuels were the ones who impressed with the bat in the first test while Kraigg Brathwaite and Jermaine Blackwood scored fifties each in the second test. West Indies will expect these four batsmen to click in the third test if they are to surpass the 300-mark. With a hundred and a fifty in the series, Bravo has scored the most runs for his side and we predict him to top-score here.

The major challenge that the West Indian batsmen will have to face is to tackle the Pakistani spinners who have troubled them the most so far. Yasir Shah, in particular, has been the wrecker-in-chief and he is going to be the hosts' best bet to throw the West Indian innings off track. He has 11 wickets at this ground from two tests and has taken 17 already in this series. The visitors will need to find a way to overcome him, otherwise they could fall short of the predicted score.

Pakistan vs West Indies Betting Odds

The match odds for Pakistan have not changed much from last time. They are still favorites to win this third test at 1.35 with 1xbet and 1.28 with bet365. However, a loss by a big margin in the last match has taken the West Indies higher at 13 and 12.00 respectively. A draw is at 5.2 and 5.00. It's true that betting on the hosts won't yield big returns but you shouldn't look elsewhere.

Pakistan vs West Indies Prediction

Pakistan have a 50% win record in tests at Sharjah. Out of the eight matches they have played here, they have won four, lost three and drawn one. West Indies have played only two tests at this ground against Pakistan in 2002 and they had suffered heavy defeats in both of them.

There has been only one drawn game at this ground. Moreover, the pitch is expected to wear and slow up in the final two days which is going to make batting a lot harder in the fourth innings. So a result is definitely on and we don't see much chances for a draw.

West Indies have not won a single game on this tour and there doesn't seem to be much hope for them at Sharjah as well. So we predict Pakistan to win this match and complete a 3-0 whitewash.
