Toss Prediction
Only three T20 internationals have been played till date at the Queen's Park Oval of which the most recently played two have been won by the side batting first. The wicket here tends to favor the bowlers more later on which is why the team that wins the toss here may want to bat first. We predict Pakistan to win the toss in this match.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There is no news on whether the West Indian team management will make any changes to the side or not for this upcoming second T20 international. No players were reported to be injured at the time of writing.
Key Players
When it comes to batting, West Indies will rely heavily on the likes of Evin Lewis, Marlon Samuels and Lendl Simmons to provide a good start to their innings. Kieron Pollard is an explosive T20 batsman and the team will benefit immensely if he gets going. Jason Holder and Sunil Narine both bowled well in the first game and the hosts will hope that they can carry on the good work. While Holder took two wickets, Narine was very economical in his four overs.
Recent Form
West Indies have faced defeats in their last four T20 internationals and all these defeats have come against Pakistan. The Windies last won a T20 game in August 2016 at Lauderhill when they edged out India by 1 run.
West Indies Predicted XI
-
E Lewis, CAK Walton (wk), MN Samuels, LMP Simmons, KA Pollard, SP Narine, R Powell, CR Brathwaite (c), JO Holder, S Badree, KOK Williams.
Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
Team News
After their big win in the first T20, the Pakistani selectors are unlikely to tweak the winning combination for this game. Good news for
the team is that all of the players are free from injuries.
Key Players
Kamran Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad hold the key in Pakistan's top-order batting while Shoaib Malik is their most reliable batter
in the middle order. Akmal had a good PSL season playing for Peshawar Zalmi and he looked good in his short but fluent innings of 22.
Debutant Shadab Khan was exceptional with figures of 3-7 from four overs - an economy rate of under 2. The legspinner is expected to
do some damage again with the ball along with Imad Wasim who was impressive as well.
Recent Form
Pakistan have now won five T20 internationals in a row of which the last four have all been won against the West Indies. Prior to
this however, they did not have much success in this format as they got beaten by Australia, New Zealand and even Bangladesh.
Pakistan Predicted XI
-
Kamran Akmal, Ahmed Shehzad, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed (c/wk), Imad Wasim,
Shadab Khan, Sohail Tanvir, Wahab Riaz, Hasan Ali.

West Indies vs Pakistan Head to Head
Pakistan have beaten West Indies six times in the eight matches they have played against them. They were last beaten by the
hosts three years ago in 2014 at Dhaka by a massive margin of 84 runs. Since then, the two teams have met four times with Pakistan
emerging victors on every occasion. West Indies have never faced Pakistan in a T20 international at the Queen's Park Oval.
West Indies vs Pakistan 2nd T20 Betting Odds
West Indies have been consistently inconsistent in recent times. They have lost their previous four T20s against Pakistan and have
lost two out of the three T20s they have played at the Queen's Park Oval. The hosts therefore find themselves outsiders for this game
at 2.02 with Betfair. Pakistan, after their convincing victory in the first game, are favorites to win at 1.88 with 1xbet. The two teams are however tied at 1.90 with both Bet365 and Betway.
West Indies vs Pakistan 2nd T20 Prediction
West Indies were humiliated by Pakistan in the opening game and they will now be playing the next game with the pressure of
making a comeback into the series. Their entire batting lineup was out of sorts and the absence of someone like Chris Gayle or Dwayne
Bravo was clearly felt. Pakistan had a great day with the ball and it is very likely that their bowlers will create problems for the West
Indian batsmen once again on this bowler-friendly wicket. We therefore predict Pakistan to win this match and take a 2-0 lead in the
series.
Final Verdict: Back Pakistan to beat West Indies in the second T20 international at 1.90 with bet365 and 1.95 with betway.
