West Indies vs Pakistan: Who will win the match, Dream 11 Team, H2H Stats and Full Details

After an exciting T20I series where Pakistan narrowly defeated West Indies 2-1, both teams are now shifting their focus to the ODIs. The three-match series will start on August 8 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad, with the next two games on August 10 and 12. With the 2027 ODI World Cup still a while away, both sides will see this as a good chance to test their squads and gain some momentum.
Pakistan will enter the series with a fresh squad and a few big names returning. Babar Azam is back in the team, stepping in for the injured Fakhar Zaman, which should strengthen the top order. The pace bowling attack looks strong too, with Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah returning to the lineup. Young players like Hasan Nawaz and Sufyan Moqeem may also get their chance to shine as Pakistan looks to build depth.
For West Indies, this series is another step in their ongoing improvement in the ODI format. Captain Shai Hope has led them to three straight series wins, and they’ll be aiming for a fourth. The return of all-rounder Romario Shepherd brings more balance to the team, while the inclusion of youngsters like Jewel Andrew and left-arm pacer Jediah Blades shows that the Windies are also planning for the future.
