Pakistan vs West Indies Expert Tips and Prediction

Most teams in this series are with the mindset of improving their current position in the rankings so that Pakistan and the West Indies are not left behind. With not being in the WTC finals, eases some of the pressure in this first-game test. From a statistical perspective, Pakistan has proven to be the superior team in all their previous encounters. Their winning total is eleven of 17. The reason why Pakistan is the bookies' favorite is not far-fetched. They faced Team England in October in their last home test and won impressively. The same strategy of utilizing a spin track will be applied against the struggling West Indies. Players to watch on this side are Sajid Khan and Noman Ali for Team Pakistan, who will benefit from the new technology to keep home dominance. The West Indies' only chance in this game is their ability to handle the slow bowling strategy from The Green Shirt. I see the home side winning by battling first.
