WI vs AFGH Dream11 Team Prediction and Top Picks: 1st ODI

WI vs AFGH Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview and Probable Playing XI of the 1st ODI. Afghanistan and West Indies will face-off in the first ODI at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

Team West Indies have revamped their squad after a poor outing in recent times and will now be led by veteran Kieron Pollard. They have also allowed leading performers of CPL Brandon King and Hayden Walsh to display their talent at the biggest stage. Windies have also dropped a few players such as Chris Gayle, Darren Bravo and Shannon Gabriel after their lacklustre form. All-round trio of Pollard-Chase-Holder along with talented performers Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer and Sheldon Cottrell will be the key for Windies to outplay strong Afghanistan team.

Afghanistan recently put a good show in the tri-series against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. This Rashid Khan-led side to have plenty of firepower in them to challenge any top team. One of the world’s best all-rounder Mohammad Nabi along with the duo of ex-captains Gulbadin Naib and Asghar Afghan can be the match-winner for the team on their day. Alongside them, Rahmat Shah and Mujeeb have also been consistent for the team in their respective departments. They will hope for a unison effort from all players in the opening encounter of the series against unpredictable Windies team.
