WI vs PAK 1st T20I Dream11 Prediction – Playing11, Captain/Vice-Captain, Fantasy Tips, Live Streaming details for Windies vs Pakistan T20I Series | WI vs PAK Match Preview: The first of the four T20Is between Windies and Pakistan will be played at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados tomorrow evening, July 28. The Babar Azam-led side will play four T20Is and two test matches on their month-long tour to the Caribbean.
The T20I series was originally scheduled for five matches, but due to the rescheduling of the WI vs AUS ODI series, it has been reduced to four games. The WI vs AUS ODI series had to be rescheduled owing to a COVID-19 positive case in the Windies camp just ahead of the start of the 2nd ODI.
Moreover, the Kieron Pollard-led home side would be high on confidence having beaten Australia 4-1 earlier in the month. Looking at the current form and owing to home conditions, the Windies will start as favorites against Pakistan who haven’t been at their best lately. The Babar Azam-led side is coming on this tour on the back of 3-0 whitewash in ODIs and 2-1 loss in the T20Is against England.
With both teams eyeing a win in the opening fixture to set the tone of the series, a cracking encounter is on the cards. The match will start at 07:30 PM IST and will live stream on the FanCode app in India.
