PAK vs WI West Indies tour of Pakistan, 1st T20I Match Preview:
Pakistan will host West Indies in a 3-match T20I series that will kick off on the 13th of December. Pakistan are a top-quality side when it comes to the shortest of the game. They had a dream run in the T20 World Cup and recently whitewashed Bangladesh 3-0 last month.
West Indies, on the other hand, have a lot of concerns prior to the first T20I as Sheldon Cottrell, Roston Chase and Kyle Mayers have been ruled out of the T20 series due to covid positive. T20 specialists Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, and Shimron Hetmyer are also unavailable due to different reasons. It’s a great opportunity for the young lads to prove their mark. It will be interesting how Nicholas Pooran will lead the side in this series.

Top Picks for PAK vs WI Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:
PAK
Babar Azam didn’t shine in the tour of Bangladesh as he could only manage to score only 27 runs in 3 matches. He knows how to bat in the home conditions and hence is a must-pick for your fantasy teams.
Pakistani vice-captain Shadab Khan is a clever T20 bowler. He has got excellent variations in his disposal and a handy batter down the order as well. He has scalped 70 wickets and scored 247 runs in his T20I career.
Shaheen Afridi is a genuine swing bowler and his ability to swing back to the right-handers makes him one of the toughest bowlers to face. He has 41 wickets to his name in the T20Is.
Whatever the condition may be, Mohammad Rizwan has the potential of scoring big runs. He is the leading run-getter in 2021 in the T20Is with 1123 runs in 23 innings.
WI
Rovman Powell is in extraordinary form having scored loads of runs in the Abu Dhabi T10 and also scored 100 plus runs in 3 matches in the Lanka Premier League. He is an X-factor for West Indies in this series.
Akeal Hosein is an upcoming young left-arm spinner and he did a decent job in the World Cup for West Indies. He is a livewire on the field and a decent striker with the bat as well. He has scalped 5 wickets in his 11 T20Is.
