Pakistan
Pakistan and West Indies are set to lock horns in the last match of the three T20Is on Wednesday, December 15 at the National Stadium in Karachi. The hosts will go into the game on the back of a 2-0 lead in the series against the West Indies. Pakistan has been predominant in the series so far winning both the previous T20Is. They won the first T20 by a huge margin of 63 Runs where Rizwan and Haider Ali steered their side for a total of 200 Runs on board while the Caribbean team could only manage 137 as the Pakistan bowling department completely bamboozled them.
The second T20I was no different as batting first Pakistan posted a total of 172 Runs for the Carribeans to chase which they failed to do in 20 overs after putting up a good fight. Mohammad Rizwan was consistent with the bat again scoring 38 runs in 30 balls while Haider Ali and Iftikhar Ahmed contributed 30 odd runs. It was Shadab Khan who laid quickfire in the last overs scoring 32 off 19 balls with a strike rate of 233.33.
The bowling attack while chasing was on-point where Shaheen Shah Afridi picked 3 wickets and Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim, Haris Rauf took two scalps each and restricted Caribbean batters for the win.
Top Batsmen for Pakistan-
- Mohammad Rizwan- 408 runs in 10 Matches, 117.91 Strike Rate
- Haider Ali- 99 Runs in 2 Matches, 135.61 Strike rate
Top Bowlers for Pakistan-
Shadab Khan- 14 Wickets in 9 Matches at 5.63 Economy
Haris Rauf- 12 Wickets in 10 Matches at 7.62 Economy
West Indies
The West Indies team was already fragile with their key players missing after Sheldon Cottrell, Kyle Mayers, and Roston Chase were tested positive for COVID-19. The trio is undergoing self-isolation and will miss the T20I series. Their skipper, Kieron Pollard has also been ruled out of the tour because of an injury.
They seem to be lacking their natural form in the first T20I as the top-order was completely exposed by Pakistan bowlers. Akeal Hosein was the only bowler that stood out conceding only 19 Runs in that match while other bowlers proved to be quite expensive.
However, in the 2nd T20I, the Windies team tried their level best to equate the series but kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Brandon King scored 67 runs off 43 Balls but there was no player to back him up. They would really need to work on the consistency of their batters if they want to give tough competition one of the best T20 teams in the world. They need to preserve wickets in the powerplay which they have been losing consistently.
Top Batsmen for West Indies –
- Nicholas Pooran– 209 runs in 10 Matches, 144.13 Strike rate
- Brandon King- 68 Runs in 2 Matches, 151.11 Strike rate
Top Bowlers for West Indies-
- Akeal Hosein- 7 Wickets in 10 Matches, 6.37 Economy

PAK vs WI, 3rd T20I, Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction
Pakistan is expected to win against West Indies.
As observed West Indies have been a bit shaky with their start to the series but tried to overturn that in the second match. Missing their key players they seem fragile and losing the edge as they failed to benefit from powerplay overs.
Also, numbers don’t favor the West Indies as they have won three out of 18 T20Is on Pakistan soil. West Indies will be looking for a consolation win to avoid the shame of a whitewash in the series but they really need to be on their toes to defeat Pakistan who is at the peak of their form in this format.
Popular Betting Odds For PAK vs WI, 2nd T20I, Today Match Prediction, Cricket Betting Tips
Top Batsman for Pakistan– Mohammad Rizwan (3.00)
The Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter has been unstoppable in the shorter format this year and Caribbean bowlers must find a way to contain him. He hammered a 52-ball 78 in the opening T20I and continuing his way of scoring runs he smashed 38 runs off 30 balls in the last T20Is making him a must-pick here.
Top Batsman for West Indies- Nicholas Pooran (4.50)
Pooran tried his level best to take his team to the winning side but failed to convert it into big innings while batting. But we can’t neglect the potential left-handed Trinidadian has got as a batter in T20Is. Pooran as a batter has 3883 Runs in 208 matches which proves his expertise in the shorter format of the game. He also has 18 fifties to his name with a high score of 100*. He is definitely expected to step up in the last match in a do-or-die situation for West Indies.
Top Bowler for Pakistan- Shadab Khan (4.00)
Shadab Khan broke through West Indies’ batting line-up in the last game and took a three-wicket haul. The leg-spinner can restrict the run-flow in the middle-overs and his ability to pinch-hit which makes him even more lethal. Also, West Indies batters aren’t known to tackle spin bowling with precision. In the last T20, he took Pakistan to a respectable score hitting 28 Runs in 12 balls with a strike rate of 233.33
Top Bowler for West Indies- Akeal Hosein (4.00)
The only bowler who showed consistency in the series so far was Akeal. In both the games he did not conceive more than 20 Runs in four overs. However, he picked just a single scalp in each game but impressed everyone taking the Pakistan top order batters down. He will be looking to chip in wickets in the powerplay to restrict Pakistan from posting a high score.
