West Indies vs Pakistan 2nd Test Prediction & Betting Tips
West Indies and Pakistan will lock horns in the second and final game of the Test series at Sabina Park, Jamaica. The match is scheduled to start at 8:30 PM IST.
West Indies and Pakistan delivered a thrilling game in the first Test with the hosts claiming a nerve-wracking win by 1 wicket. This is what these two teams bring to the table - unpredictablility. Keep the technical aspects aside, it’s just so much fun to watch these two teams play.
Going into the second Test, both teams stand at the same place where they were at the start of the series - A very good bowling attack but a shaky batting lineup. Both teams need to work on their batting and post a big score. Generally, it’s the bowlers that win you the Test match in the case of these two teams, one which bats better will win.
For West Indies, Kraigg Brathwaite and Jason Holder are in good form but they will need their other batters to step up as well. For Pakistan, a lot of batsmen got starts but didn’t convert it to a big score. This has been their issue for a while. Pakistan would desperately Babar Azam to kick off and get a big one.
Overall, we would like to still stick with West Indies as their batters can be inconsistent but all are capable to win matches on their own. The same can’t be said about Pakistan, who are over-reliant on Babar Azam.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
Shai Hope was not included in the playing XI, probably because of an injury. Can’t say. But West Indies will be keen to get him into the side. Also, we are expecting West Indies to include Shamarh Brooks.
WI Key Players
- Kraigg Brathwaite - The opener showed great determination and batted extremely well for his 97. He has the technique to survive in challenging conditions thus Brathwaite can be expected to come good in the next game as well.
- Jason Holder - Jason Holder once again proved his worth and delivered an all round performance. He picked up 4 wickets and scored 74 runs in the match. West Indies will be hoping for another such performance from their ace all-rounder.
- Jayden Seales - Seales was the pick of West Indies bowlers and accounted for eight wickets in the match. He was unplayable for Pakistan at times. The pacer would be keen to continue his decent run in the next game as well.
The win in the first Test was West Indies first win after two consecutive losses.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Kraigg Brathwaite (c), Kieran Powell/Shai Hope, Nkrumah Bonner, Kyle Mayers/Shamarj Brooks, Roston Chase, Jermaine Blackwood, Joshua Da Silva (wk), Jason Holder, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Jomel Warrican

PAK Team News
Despite the loss, we think Pakistan would go in with the same XI. They could replace Yasir Shah with a batsman but that’s a rare possibility.
PAK Key Players
- Babar Azam - The best Pakistan batter is having a dry run in Tests. Babar looked good in the first Test and got starts in both innings but could not carry on to get a big score. With series on the line, the skipper would be keen to get going and lead his team to a win.
- Fawad Alam - Alam is another batter who has enjoyed great success since his return to the Pakistan side. He scored a 50 in the first innings of the first Test. Pakistan would expect a bigger inning from him in the next match.
- Shaheen Afridi - Afridi will be high on confidence after picking up eight wickets in the last game. The wicket will be assisting fast bowling thus Afridi can be backed to have another good game.
This was Pakistan’s first Test loss after 4 games.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
Abid Ali, Imran Butt, Azhar Ali, Babar Azam (c), Fawad Alam, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Faheem Ashraf, Yasir Shah, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Abbas, Shaheen Afridi

🏆 West Indies vs Pakistan Prediction
Both teams are neck and neck going into the final Test and the match could go either way. However, Pakistan’s overreliance on Babar Azam is not doing any good to them. Once Babar is dismissed, there is no one who can steady the ship and play a long inning. West Indies too have few issues in the batting but players like Kraigg Brathwaite, Kyle Mayers, Jermaine Blackwood are perfectly suited to this version of the game. They can be inconsistent but they have the patience and skill to succeed in Tests which can’t be seen in most Pakistan batters. For us, West Indies are marginally ahead.
