After winning the T20I series 2-1, Pakistan will be looking to clinch the ODI series as well. Although they lost the T20I series against Bangladesh prior to that, the West Indies have been struggling recently, suffering whitewashes in both Test and T20I series against Australia.
Both teams have had difficulties in the ODI format. Pakistan did not secure any wins in the Champions Trophy despite hosting the tournament, while West Indies did not qualify, sitting 10th in the rankings. Therefore, this upcoming series is crucial for both teams to make a strong comeback in ODIs.

Teams Preview (Top Players to Bet)
West Indies
The West Indies team has been struggling with poor form across all formats recently. They haven’t played any ODIs since June, so it will take time to regain their rhythm in that format. Additionally, the team consists largely of T20 specialists, with few players experienced in the longer formats, which could pose a challenge moving forward.
WI Probable Playing XI:
Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (C & WK), Sherfane Rutherford, Justin Greaves, Roston Chase, Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales
- WI Top Player to bet on- Shai Hope and Akeal Hosein
Pakistan
Pakistan has had a strong record against the West Indies in the past, as discussed above. The comeback of Babar and Rizwan will be crucial, as it has been a long time since both appeared in this format. The team looks more promising than the West Indies in every aspect.
PAK Probable Playing XI:
Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan (C), Mohammad Haris (WK), Saim Ayub, Salman Agha, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Hasan Ali, Abrar Ahmed
- SB- M Top Player to bet on- Mohammad Rizwan and Naseem Shah
Weather & Pitch Report
The pitch at Tarouba, Trinidad, assists bowlers more than batters because the bounce is a bit uneven. Bowlers who vary their line and length are more likely to succeed here. Batters need to adapt to the situation and read the pitch; once they settle in, they can score more.
Matchday in Trinidad is expected to remain overcast throughout, with some rain likely to interrupt play.
