West Indies vs Pakistan 2nd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
West Indies and Pakistan travel from Barbados to Guyana for their second IT20 on Saturday as part of their 4-match IT20 series. The first game on Wednesday at the Kensington Oval lasted only 9 overs before rain prevented any further play with West Indies 85-5. Read on as we preview this match. This IT20 gets underway at the Providence Stadium, Guyana at 11:00 local time.
West Indies had some very impressive strike rates in play in the IT20 in Barbados but looked unlikely to bat out 20 overs. If 2 of their explosive batsmen come off they will be very hard to stop.
Pakistan’s bowlers took wickets regularly on Wednesday and were on course to bowl out the home side. With Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam at the top of the order, a low target would not have been a problem.

WI vs PAK Match Toss Prediction
Babar Azam chose to insert West Indies on Wednesday and the approach seemed to work. We would be very surprised if both captains do not choose to field first in this game.
WI vs PAK Pitch Report
This will be the first IT20 at the venue since August 2019. England hit the highest score of 191-5 in this format during the 2010 T20 World Cup. We anticipate any score of 160+ to be competitive in this game.
Weather Report
Scattered thunderstorms are forecast but they may well get a full game in with dry spells and a high of 29 degrees.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
With Lendl Simmons an injury doubt after being hit on the neck in the opening IT20, we expect Andre Fletcher to replace him at the top of the order. Due to the short nature of the first game, we expect West Indies to keep the same XI which had a very deep batting order.
WI Key Players
- Chris Gayle - No West Indies player has scored more IT20 runs than Gayle. He will be keen to post some big scores and secure his place in the team ahead of the T20 World Cup later this year.
- Kieron Pollard - The captain missed the entire series against Australia but looked in excellent form with the bat on Wednesday and was unbeaten on 22 from 9 balls when the rain came.
- Hayden Walsh - The spinner caused the Australia batsmen all sorts of problems in both the ODI and IT20 series. It will be very interesting to see how the Pakistan team play him.
West Indies picked a batting heavy side on Wednesday and this may be the way they go ahead of the World Cup. They remain in strong form in this format.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Evin Lewis, Andre Fletcher, Chris Gayle, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard (c), Jason Holder, Dwayne Bravo, Hayden Walsh, Akeal Hosein
Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
With all bowlers impressive in Barbados and none of the batsmen getting an opportunity, it would make sense for Pakistan to select the same XI for this game in Guyana. They have no injury worries to contend with ahead of the second IT20.
PAK Key Players
- Babar Azam - We expect the captain to bat at number 3 in this game with Sharjeel Khan opening alongside Mohammad Rizwan. Azam is equally as effective in both positions in the order.
- Mohammad Rizwan - The senior opener in this series averages 48.52 in this format with 1 century and 8 half-centuries on his record.
- Shaheen Afridi - Wicketless from his 2 overs in Barbados and went for 20 runs. The fast left-arm bowler will be hunting for early wickets in Guyana.
Pakistan looked on course to end their mini-run of defeats in this format from the England tour before the rain intervened in Barbados.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Sharjeel Khan, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Hafeez, Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Wasim, Hassan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Usman Qadir

🏆 West Indies vs Pakistan Prediction
West Indies looked unlikely to bat their full 20 overs in Barbados but, as we knew it was a tough batting wicket, they may well have posted a competitive total. Pakistan will feel they had the first IT20 in their hands and will use that as motivation in this fixture. We are predicting a very close game with West Indies the winner.
