WI vs PAK: Dream11 Team
· Wicket-keepers: Shai Hope
· Batters: Fakhar Zaman, Brandon King, Shimron Hetmyer, Saim Ayub
· All-rounders: Roston Chase, Faheem Ashraf, Romario Shepherd, Jason Holder
· Bowlers: Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf
Dream11 Prediction: Pakistan struggled with the bat in Bangladesh. But they had a good performance in the final T20I. However, the conditions in West Indies will be easier to bat on. With that, the return of Shaheen and Haris will be a massive boost for the visitors.
These are two great T20 bowlers, making Pakistan's attack more dangerous. West Indies are slightly weaker with the ball. They have plenty of all-rounders, but specialist bowlers will be a miss. They are coming off a horrible series against Australia and will be under pressure. Pakistan are more suited to win a game here.
