West Indies vs Pakistan, 1st T20I

Venue: Kensington Oval, Barbado
Pitch Report WI vs PAK
Although the Kensington Oval played host to a couple of low-scoring encounters in the ODI series between West Indies and Australia, a better batting track is expected for the series. However, the bowlers will continue to get some help off the surface, keeping the batters on their toes. As the match progresses, the pitch will get slower, bringing the spinners into play. Both teams will ideally look to bat first and make good of the conditions first up with 150 being a decent total at the venue.
Today’s WI vs PAK Dream11 match top picks
Wicket-keeper
Mohammad Rizwan: Arguably the best batsman in the T20I format this year, Rizwan has been unstoppable since his promotion to the top of the order. Expect the wicketkeeper-batsman to come good against a strong West Indies bowling attack.
Batsmen
Babar Azam: Who else but Babar Azam? The Pakistan captain had a decent tour of England with a fifty to his name at Trent Bridge. With a career average in excess of 45, Azam is sure to be a popular pick in today’s WI vs PAK Dream11 teams
Lendl Simmons: Lendl Simmons was West Indies’ highest runscorer in their T20I series win against Australia with 165 runs. With an eye for a big score, Simmons could be in for a big score against Pakistan.
All-rounders
Fabian Allen: Explosive with the bat and handy with the ball, Fabian Allen is one of the most exciting players to watch in the format. With the pitch on the slower side, Allen could well play a big role with bat and ball.
Mohammad Hafeez: Pakistan veteran Mohammad Hafeez didn’t have the best of series against England. However, Hafeez has the experience and skill-set to succeed in Barbados, making him a brilliant differential option for your WI vs PAK Dream11 team.
Bowlers
Hayden Walsh: Hayden Walsh has been on a roll since his recent call-up to the T20I set-up. With 12 wickets in his previous T20I series, Walsh is one to watch out for against the Pakistan batting unit.
Hasan Ali: Hasan Ali has been Pakistan’s best bowler across all formats this year. Able with the new and old ball and blessed with a plethora of variations, one can bank on Hasan Ali to deliver with the ball in hand.
