The West Indies have played a lot of cricket recently having completed a tour of South Africa and then playing a 5 match T20 series against Australia at home, followed by a three match ODI series against the Aussies.
The West Indies had great success in the T20 series and won it 4-1 but failed in the ODI series and lost 1-2. The West Indies finished their ODI series only on 26 July and will have no time to rest as they have a four match T20 series scheduled against Pakistan.

West Indies vs. Pakistan – T20 Series
The first T20 will take place on 28 July, the second T20 is set for 31 July followed by the third T20 on 01 August. The fourth and final T20 is set to take place on 03 August. All of these T20 games will take place in Providence at the Guyana National Stadium.
Once the T20 series is finished, the West Indies and Pakistan will play a two test series that will take place in Kingston. We will share cricket betting strategies for the test series in another article. For now, let’s look at the betting odds for this series.
West Indies vs. Pakistan – Betting Odds
The West Indies are one of the most dangerous and powerful T20 teams going around in world cricket. They have an impressive line-up of players who can win the game by themselves with both bat and ball which is what makes them so dangerous. They showed just how good they are by dominating Australia and winning their T20 series 4-1.
Pakistan on the other hand continues to be the most volatile team in all forms of cricket. They have a talented list of players, maybe not as talented as some of the previous Pakistani teams but on their day, they can be just about any team in the world. The problem for Pakistan is that they blow hot and cold in the same series and are very unpredictable, especially if you are going to bet on them.
There are no surprises that the West Indies are going in as betting favorites to win this T20 series. The West Indies are playing at home and also have the momentum of winning their last T20 series. Pakistan’s last T20 series was in July 2021 when they played England in England and lost 1-2.
West Indies – T20 Squad
We are still not certain if Kieron Pollard will be fit to return and captain the side. The squad will most likely consist of Nicholas Pooran (c/wk), Evin Lewis, Lendl Simmons, Shimron Hetmyer, Obed McCoy, Dwayne Bravo, Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Hayden Walsh, Fabian Allen and Fidel Edwards.
Pakistan – T20 Squad
Babar Azam (C), Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Arshad Iqbal, Faheem Ashraf, Azam Khan, Arshad Iqbal, Imad Wasim, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Wasim, Mohammad Rizwan, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Sharjeel Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usman Qadir and Sohaib Maqsood.
West Indies vs. Pakistan – Verdict
We expect the West Indies to win this T20 series comfortably. What will be interesting is to see whether the West Indies can pull off a whitewash and win 4-0 or if Pakistan will be able to get the better of the West Indies and win atleast one game. We don’t think this will happen and will take the risk and back the West Indies to win 4-0.
