WI vs PAK Dream11 Team Prediction 2nd ODI World Cup 2019: Preview

Pakistan and West Indies will collide in the second match of World Cup 2019 at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. We will provide WI vs PAK Dream11 Team Prediction Preview and Probable Playing XI for the WI vs PAK match.

Team West Indies are the underdogs of World Cup 2019 because of their destructive batting line-up. Attacking duo of Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis at the top followed by In-form Shai Hope along with Darren Bravo, Hetmyer and flamboyant allrounders Russell and Holder make them a team to beat in the competition.

In the only Warm-up match played, Windies imposed a whopping total of 421 runs against New Zealand. Chris Gayle and Lewis gave attacking start to the team while Shai Hope scored a top-class century. Andre Russell also scored quick fifty in 24 balls and was supported by Jason Holder. Carlos Brathwaite and Fabian Allen starred with the ball taking three and two scalps respectively to ensure a 91-run win for his team. Windies will be eager to exploit batting conditions at Trent Bridge and give a tough challenge to underperforming Pakistan bowling unit.

Champions Trophy 2017 winner Pakistan have lost their form in ODI format in recent past losing ten consecutive encounters. Still, They have a well-balanced squad and cannot be underrated. They have a good opening pair of Imam-Ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman followed by run machine Babar Azam and experienced Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, and Sarfaraz Ahmed. The spin duo of Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan along with Wahab Riaz, Amir, Hasan Ali and Shaheen Afridi can also create threat for any batting line-up.

They lost their only warm-up match against Afghanistan by 3 wickets. Babar Azam starred with the bat scoring 112 runs and was supported by Shoaib Malik to take the team to a below-par total of 262 runs. With the ball, Wahab Riaz took three wicket-haul while Imad Wasim took two scalps in losing cause for their team. Pakistan will hope to eliminate their weakness and put a unison effort to defeat the West Indies team.

A good contest can be expected between both teams.
