PAK vs WI Tips, Stats & Team for T20 Match Prediction
Match: PAK vs WI T20 Match Prediction
Time: 13 December, 06:30 PM (IST)
Series: 1st T20 Match
Venue: National Stadium – Karachi, Pakistan
Info:
Keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan continued his fine form from the T20 World Cup in the IT20 series with Bangladesh. He is our tip for Pakistans highest run scorer in this game. With the ball, Shaheen Shah Afridi is always dangerous but particularly on home soil. He is a strong choice for Pakistans top wicket taker against West Indies.
Batting all-rounder Roston Chase has been one of the standout players in West Indies cricket over the last 12 months and is our tip for their highest run scorer against Pakistan. Spinner Hayden Walsh struggled during the World Cup but has been in good form throughout the rest of 2021. He is well worth backing as West Indies top wicket taker in this match.
We expect the Pakistan bowling attack to relish bowling to this West Indies side. Shaheen Shah Afridi is our prediction for the Player of the Match Award.

TV Channel : PTV will show the game live in Pakistan with Sony providing live coverage in India. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK.

Pitch Report:
The pitch in Karachi always provides assistance for spin bowlers and this will be no different. We expect a par score to be around 150.
Toss Prediction:
Most teams prefer to bat second in Karachi in white ball fixtures. Our prediction is that both skippers will insert the opposition in this match.

Team News:
PAK Team News:
After being knocked out of the T20 World Cup in the semi-final stage, Pakistan have immediately returned to high quality performances. They will be pleased to be back playing at home after the cancellation of series in September and October. There are no injuries in the Pakistan camp.
WI Team News:
The West Indies XI will be very different to what we saw in their final T20 World Cup fixture with Evin Lewis, Chris Gayle, Shimron Hetmyer, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo and Jason Holder all absent from this tour. We expect Dominic Drakes to make his debut in this game.

Winning Chances:
Who will win today match: PAK vs WI T20 Match Team
This should be a fantastic series and a very interesting opening match. Pakistan are in red hot form in this format and West Indies have plenty of new players keen to make a mark at this level. We are predicting an entertaining game with Pakistan getting the win.
PAK Key Players:
Mohammad Rizwan:
The keeper-batter was one of many batters who lit up the T20 World Cup. He averages 49.51 in IT20 cricket.
Babar Azam:
The Pakistan captain continues to set the standards in his team irrespective of the format. He has 1 century and 24 half-centuries in this format.
Shaheen Shah Afridi:
The fast left-arm bowler is a threat at the beginning and end of IT20 innings. He bowls with genuine pace and bowls a very hard to play yorker.
WI Key Players:
Shai Hope:
The keeper-batter is one of the best ODI players around but is yet to transfer his skills to the shorter format. He will bat at the top of the order in this series.
Roston Chase:
The batting all-rounder had a very impressive CPL earlier this year and finally broke into the West Indies IT20 side during the World Cup.
Romario Shepherd:
The pace bowler was a revelation with the bat during the Abu Dhabi T10 League. He will be looking to make a big impact in this game.
Team Forms:
PAK Team Form:
Pakistan were in incredible form during the World Cup and, apart from the semi-final defeat, can not stop winning IT20 games.
WI Team Form:
West Indies come into this game in poor IT20 form but they have a clean slate and a new group of players to build a team around.
