Pakistan vs West Indies – 2nd T20I Betting Tips

Pakistan will face West Indies in the second T20I of the three-match series at the National Stadium in Karachi on Tuesday.

The home team will be coming in the contest high on confidence after producing a near-perfect win on Monday at the same venue.

The coaching staff will be hoping to see the players continue producing similar performances in the remaining matches.

On the other hand, the visitors will enter the match on Tuesday relatively low on confidence after a lacklustre performance in the series opener.

The management will be hoping that the players will produce a much better display in the remaining fixtures.

Pakistan Form and Team News

After producing a near-perfect performance in the first T20I which led to the team to a comfortable 63-run win on Monday, Pakistan are unlikely to make any significant changes in the starting XI for the second match.

However, after looking at the way things worked out in the series opener, leg-spinner Usman Qadir’s included in the playing XI cannot be ruled out because of no dew and also because there was a lot of purchase for spinners.

With that win, the Men-in-Green became the first side in the history of T20 Internationals to win 18 matches in a calendar year.

Despite that victory, there will be some concern regarding the form of captain Babar Azam who was dismissed without scoring on Monday. It was his fifth consecutive failure in T20Is and he has only managed to score 66 runs at an average of just over 13 in his last five innings.

The management will be hoping that the star batter will once again start showcasing his talent with the bat in the remaining matches.

In the batting department, the home team will be heavily relying on in-form wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan, first T20I’s player-of-the-match Haider Ali, dangerous Fakhar Zaman, experienced Iftikhar Ahmed and hard-hitting Asif Ali to score the bulk of the runs and put the opposition under pressure.

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Wasim along with the spin duo of Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz to dismantle the visitors’ batting lineup.

West Indies Form and Team News

Despite producing a lacklustre performance in the first T20I, West Indies are unlikely to make too many changes in the starting XI, largely because they don’t have the personnel as three of their players have already been ruled out after testing positive for Covid-19.

However, after looking at the conditions in the first match, leg-spinner Hayden Walsh is likely to return to the playing XI in place of a pacer.

In the batting department, the visitors will be heavily relying on their captain Nicholas Pooran, wicketkeeper-batter Shai Hope, explosive top-order batter Brandon King and dangerous Rovman Powell to score the bulk of the runs and give the bowlers something to bowl with.

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Oshane Thomas, Romario Shepherd, Dominic Drakes along with the spin duo of Akeal Hosein and Walsh to restrict the opposition’s batting lineup.
