After finishing an unbeaten series in Bangladesh, Pakistan now have a home series of 3 T20Is followed by 3 ODIs in the 2021 West Indies tour of Pakistan. A few changes will be there in the visitors side as there were a few Covid-19 positive cases while the hosts will be happy to host some more international cricket at home. All 6 games on this tour will be played at the same stadium in Karachi.
West Indies is coming off an unsuccessful Test series in Sri Lanka and while most may think limited over game are preferred for this side, they had a poor T20 World Cup 2021 as well. Without their original captain on this as well, it’s going to be really tough for the visitors to do well, as the tour begins with the T20s.

Pakistan
With 165 runs in 3 games at this venue in the past, captain Babar Azam scored 76 in the last game against Bangladesh after a poor outing in the country prior to that, so we think he can’t be left out of your PAK vs WI fantasy team today. Shoaib Malik, Imad Wasim and Hasan Ali have been left out of the squad and pacer Haris Rauf will have a lot to prove, as he’s flying straight to BBL 2021/22 after the T20 series.
Batting out of original position hasn’t affected Fakhar Zaman one bit and we’re picking him in our PAK vs WI Dream11 team. While we’d love to pick the big hitters like Asif Ali and Khushdil Shah, the top three are in great touch and we’ll leave the middle order out. Shaheen Afridi is currently in the rhythm of his life and his 4 overs will be tough to contend with, so he’s in our team too.
West Indies
Sheldon Cottrell, Roston Chase and Kyle Mayers have all three been ruled out of the T20I series because they tested positive for Covid-19 while captain Kieron Pollard is not on this tour either. Additionally, Andre Russell, Jason Holder, Shimron Hetmyer and Fabian Allen are all not part of the squad. Nicholas Pooran will lead the side but he had a poor World Cup and IPL 2021 before that, so we’re leaving him out today.

Rovman Powell smashed 61(19) in his last game at the Lanka Premier League 2021 and had a great outing in the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 before that, so he’s in great touch and should make our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) PAK vs WI fantasy team for the 1st T20I. Another person who had a good series in Abu Dhabi with big hitting and wickets is Odean Smith who could even be picked as fantasy captain or vice-captain.
