Pakistan and West Indies will play in the 3rd T20I of the 3-match T20I series at the National Stadium, Karachi. We will cover PAK vs WI Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, and Fantasy Cricket Tips.
Pakistan:
Pakistan has sealed the series and will look to register a clean sweep by winning the last game. Pakistan won the last game by 9 runs and the Windies showed a good fight with the bat.
With the bat, M Rizwan has been looking fantastic and has scored 116 runs from his 2 games so far. Their top order is looking solid with the likes of Fakhar Zaman and Haider Ali in the middle order. Their best batter and skipper Babar Azam is yet to fire in this series and this could be the game for him.
With the ball, Mohammad Wasim Jr has been brilliant and has picked up 6 wickets in his 2 games. Shaheen Afridi also bowled brilliantly in the last game and picked up 3 wickets. With the series already been sealed Pakistan can bring in S Dahani and M Hasnain into the XI and can rest their main players.
West Indies:
West Indies have clearly looked inexperienced in these conditions and will look to finish the series on a high. They are in a rebuilding stage and will look to take as much experience as possible with them at the end of the tour.
Brandon King played an excellent knock of 67 runs in the last game but did not get much support from the other end as all other batters struggled to get a big start.
Their skipper N Pooran is a big name in this format but is yet to play at his best. S Hope is another quality player who played decently in the first game but was dismissed cheaply in the last game.
Odean Smith and Romario Shepherd has been their biggest positives on this tour and have consistently contributed with both bat and ball. They will look to play some quality cricket in this game and take a win with them.
