WI-W VS PAK-W Match Preview
We have two of the strongest teams facing each other in the 1st ODI of the five match series. All the matches will be hosted by the West Indies team, where the first match will be played at the Coolidge Cricket Ground, Antigua. In the recently held T20I series, the Pakistan team were brutally defeated for a mere 3-0. As we all know that Pakistan definitely has an upper hand in the ODI format, the West Indies team is no where far behind either. This game can surely be regarded as fire vs ice. It also gives ample space for the fantasy league bidders and investors. We hope this match will go well for both the teams.

Pitch & Weather Report
The conditions here at Antigua does not seem to support huge totals. The pitch here is quite slow when compared to all other traditional West Indies pitches. There havent been significant numbers in the T20 format too, where 165 was the highest score at this venue. Due to the sluggish nature of the pitch, the spinners will have a big role and a major advantage when compared to the pacers. Although batting here has been difficult, bringing up a good start in the first innings can boost the teams confidence.
The weather at Antigua is quite humid with very little breeze with the temperature hovering from 25 – 29 degrees. It will be quite cloudy during the match hours with very minimal chances of rain. No interruptions are expected by the weather. The wind speed ranges to about 29KM/Hr.
