WI vs PAK Betting Tips
Lendl Simmons top scored for West Indies in their 4-1 IT20 series win over Australia earlier this month. He is an excellent bet for West Indies’ leading run scorer in this opening IT20. Hayden Walsh enjoyed a fantastic IT20 and ODI series against Australia. He is a solid choice as West Indies top wicket taker in this match.
Babar Azam hit 85 in the first IT20 against England 2 weeks ago. Opening the batting, he is a good tip for Pakistan’s highest run scorer in this game. With the ball, all-rounder Shadab Khan took 5 wickets across the 3 IT20s against England. The leg-spinner is our recommendation for Pakistan’s top wicket taker in this clash.
Nicholas Pooran kept wicket for West Indies during the short format series win over Australia. He was also the stand-in captain with Kieron Pollard out injured. Mohammad Rizwan had the gloves for Pakistan against England and top scored across both teams in the series. We are backing Rizwan as the top wicket-keeper in this opener.

West Indies vs Pakistan 1st T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
West Indies and Pakistan begin their 4-match IT20 series in Barbados on Wednesday late morning. The series was originally scheduled to be 5 matches but due to West Indies and Australia’s ODI series overrunning, 1 game was cancelled from the IT20 fixtures. Read on as we preview this game. This match gets underway at the Kensington Oval at 10:00 local time.
West Indies are peaking as a very strong IT20 side just in time for their defence of the T20 World Cup. Any side who beats Australia 4-1 without their captain is a team to be taken very seriously.
Pakistan are a very good IT20 team and did not embarrass themselves in the 2-1 series defeat against a very strong England side. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are a fantastic opening pair.

WI vs PAK Match Toss Prediction
Both teams are equally comfortable in chasing or setting a target in this format. We expect both captains to choose to insert the opposition in this game.
WI vs PAK Pitch Report
The pitch came in for criticism during the ODI series with Australia over the last week with both teams finding high scoring tough. Spinners will enjoy the pitch with totals approaching 200 very unlikely.

The hosts will be pleased to be led by captain Kieron Pollard in this format again and his return boosts an already confident side. They will also benefit from playing 3 ODIs at this venue against Australia already and should have a good reading of the pitch.
WI Key Players
Lendl Simmons- West Indies’ top run scorer in the series against Australia is comfortable anywhere in the top 4 of this batting order. He has 9 half-centuries in IT20s.
Hayden Walsh- the spin bowler has picked up wickets in every game against Australia. He took 12 in 5 IT20s and 7 in 3 ODIs.
Sheldon Cottrell- the fast bowler has become an integral part of the white ball West Indies side. He played in all but 1 of the games against Australia, taking 8 wickets.
WI Team Form
West Indies are a very strong team in this format and bounced back from their 3-2 defeat to South Africa last month with a convincing 4-1 win over Australia.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Evin Lewis, Lendl Simmons, Chris Gayle, Andre Fletcher, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard (c), Fabian Allen, Hayden Walsh, Obed McCoy, Sheldon Cottrell

Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
Losing to England in a white ball series in England is no disgrace and Pakistan certainly impressed in the opening IT20 when they posted 232-6 on the way to a 31 run win. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan regularly set strong platforms at the top of the order with the bat.
PAK Key Players
Babar Azam- the multi-format batsman was in characteristically good form in England hitting scores of 158 and 85 across the ODI and IT20 series.
Mohammad Rizwan- often goes under the radar with Babar Azam taking the limelight but Rizwan scored 250 runs across the final 4 games of the England tour.
Shaheen Afridi- only took 6 wickets across 6 games in England but we expect to see Shaheen respond with a greater number of dismissals in the Caribbean.
PAK Team Form
Pakistan are typically referred to as an inconsistent side in any format of the game but have been playing good quality IT20 cricket for many years now.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Sohaib Maqsood, Mohammad Hafeez, Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Usman Qadir, Mohammad Hasnain

Who will win West Indies vs Pakistan 1st T20?
Both teams have big names in their top order but we back Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan as the best opening pair.
Evin Lewis, Chris Gayle and Lendl Simmons are the top batsmen for West Indies. All 3 made contributions against Australia with Simmons the top scorer in the series for the hosts.
For Pakistan, we are backing Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Sohaib Maqsood. The opening pair are as consistent as any in this format.
With the ball, we recommend Obed McCoy, Hayden Walsh and Sheldon Cottrell for West Indies. Walsh has had a real breakthrough month.
Shaheen Afridi, Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan are the bowlers we are recommending for Pakistan. Shadab led the way in England and should enjoy the conditions in Barbados.
Low scoring games are always entertaining and, based on the Australia ODI series, this game should follow a similar pattern. We are predicting a tight match with the Pakistan opening batting pair potentially the key to deciding the game. Overall, we expect to see a home win in this opening IT20.
