PAK vs WI Team Previews

Pakistan

Three uncapped players, who excelled in the recently concluded PSL tournament, have been selected for the national T20 team for the West Indies series. Asif Ali, the middle-order batsman who played crucial roles in helping reach targets, all-rounder Hussain Talat and left-arm bowler Shaheen Afridi could make their T20I debut and bring their talents to the table.

Wicket-keeper batsman Sarfraz Ahmed will lead the side that consists of players like Ahmed Shehzad, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman and Shoaib Malik. The pace attack will feature left-arm seamers Mohammad Amir, Rahat Ali, Usman Khan and right-arm speedster Hasan Ali. Spinners Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz and bowling all-rounder Faheem Ashraf will add depth to the attack. All-rounders like Malik and Asif Ali could bring variety to the bowling squad.

Pakistan is hosting a T20I after a gap of two years and is expected to deliver well in front of the home audience; they could come out all guns blazing here to dominate the Windies.

West Indies

The batting line-up has experienced players like Andre Fletcher, Chadwick Walton, Chris Gayle, Jason Mohammed, all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite, Evin Lewis and Marlon Samuels among others. Wicket-keeper batsman Shai Hope and youngster Shimron Hetmyer along with others like Rovman Powell could steady the middle-order. They have done well in the World Cup qualifiers recently and made it through to the championship despite losing the finals to Afghanistan in a well-fought contest.

The spin attack will feature ace spinner Samuel Badree, Nikita Miller, Devendra Bishoo and Ashley Nurse while pacers like Kesrick Williams, Brathwaite, Keemo Paul and Kemar Roach could provide regular breakthroughs against the hosts to keep them in check.

West Indies have had a successful run during the world cup qualifiers this year, with batsmen like Rovman Powell, Hetmyer and Gayle scoring hundreds while fast-bowler Kemar Roach bagged a total of 11 wickets to help win all the group matches and qualify for the world cup. They will be determined to put their best foot forward in the upcoming series.
