WI vs PAK 1st T20I: All you need to know, head to head, playing XI
Pakistan and West Indies are set to kick off a crucial three‑match T20I series this Friday (August 1) with the first match at Lauderhill in Florida. All three matches of the series will be held at Lauderhill in Florida, with Pakistan and West Indies looking forward to outplaying each other. West Indies head into the series on the back of a crushing 0-5 series whitewash against Australia in the recently concluded series. Inconsistency and death bowling, which was absolutely visible during the Australia series, have plagued West Indies’ white-ball side. However, this series gives them an opportunity to leave their past defeats behind and start afresh against Pakistan.
Pakistan, on the other hand, are coming off a disappointing 1-2 series defeat at the hands of Bangladesh. They capped off the series on a high note, claiming victory in the third game, but they had a torrid start to the assignment, suffering defeats in the first two games. Historically, Pakistan have edged ahead in T20I encounters with West Indies, though the rivalry remains competitive, with both teams boasting near full-strength squads.

Matches - 21
WI won - 3

West Indies probable XI: Brandon King, Shai Hope (c&wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie
