WI vs PAK 1st T20I Match Predictions and Betting Tips

The 1st T20I of Pakistan’s tour to the West Indies will be played by the two teams in Bridgetown. The match will commence at the Kensington Oval on July 28. I have picked the top WI vs PAK match predictions and betting tips from the game for you to win from.

After the break last year, the two teams have been playing quite a lot of series this year. Pakistan played 2 series against South Africa, they then played a series against Zimbabwe and recently concluded a series against England. They managed to win the two series against South Africa and against Zimbabwe. They only lost the series against England. West Indies have had a busy year too. They have played three series, against Sri Lanka, South Africa and Australia. They only lost T20’s to South Africa and are vying to win the upcoming match. For the WI vs PAK match predictions, I have assorted the top player betting markets from the game.

WI vs PAK Player Bets

The player bets in the game are the best bets to go for. While West Indies are the favourites to win after their recent win against Australia, Pakistan have a better track record. Take a look at the top WI vs PAK player betting tips.

Lendl Simmons to score over 20.5 runs

For my first bet, I have Lendl Simmons for you guys to bet on. Simmons has played a lot of T20 cricket all across the globe and as a result of that. He has retained his place in the T20I squad of his nation. He has scored north of 20 runs in 4 of his last 5 games, and 8 of his last 10 games. His scores in the last series were - 21, 72, 15, 30, and 27, which proves that he has been mostly consistent.

Lendl Simmons has played quite poorly against Pakistan in the past, with an average of 16.0. He managed to score over the target in only one game out of 8 matches played. Yet I think he is the best bet, because of his current form. While playing on home soil, the 36-year-old cricketer has an average of 28.13 with the bat. In the ongoing calendar year, a total of 310 runs have been scored at 28.18. For the WI vs PAK match predictions, this is one of the best bets to go for. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Lendl Simmons to score over 20.5 runs.

Babar Azam to score over 27.5 runs

If there is a shining gem in the Pakistan cricket squad currently, it’s Babar Azam. He is definitely one of the most talented batsmen of his generation in the world. He just became the fastest man to reach 14 ODI hundreds during his thrilling knock of 158 runs in the last ODI against England. On the T20 side of things, Azam has played 57 matches and has 2153 runs at an average of 46.80.

In his 10 games against West Indies, Azam has maintained an average of 57.57. He was only beaten under the target thrice and has 3 half-centuries against them. As the skipper of this new-look Pakistan team, he has maintained an average of 43.15 from 22 innings. This is another one of the top WI vs PAK betting tips to go for. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Babar Azam to score over 27.5 runs.

Chris Gayle to score under 21.5 runs

The top-order West Indies batsman is well known for his flamboyance, but he is also infamous for his inconsistent play. Chris Gayle has played 70 matches and scored 1818 runs from them at 29.80. While this seems quite satisfactory to go over the target, his best days are behind him. Chris Gayle managed to score over the target only once in his 5 T20Is against Australia. He played 4 matches against South Africa right before that and scored under the target in 3 of the 4 matches in the series.

Gayle has always had a poor track record against the Pakistani side. He managed just 11(5, 1, 5) runs from 3 games at an average of 3.30. Chris Gayle has been pushed to the 1st down, and he has only averaged 17.36 from the 12 games he has played in the position. If we look at his last 5 series, he was able to score over the target in the 1st match only against South Africa. This is the final WI vs SA match predictions from the 1st T20I to get you winning from the game. Dafabet.com has offered odds of 1.87 for Chris Gayle to score under 21.5 runs.
