Pakistan vs West Indies Highlights Today, Monday 13-12-2021. 1st T20I (D/N), West Indies tour of Pakistan 2021, from National Stadium, Karachi. From 2011 to 2021 Pakistan won twelve twenty/20 international matches from the West Indians. The visitors West Indies got three victories out of eighteen T20I matches that had been played between Pakistan and Windies in the last ten years. The home team recently showed their skills in back-to-back victories in the shortest format of international cricket. First in the Icc men’s t20 world cup and after that in Bangladesh.
The visitor team West Indies is coming from Sri Lanka after losing two test matches. But still, they are only two times t20 world champions. In Sri Lanka, there were too many turning pitches but in Pakistan, there are mostly batting-friendly pitches. Which suits West Indies batsmen more than the Pakistanis because of their power-hitting ability. But still, the Pakistan team is the favorite.
West Indies have won the toss and they will bowl first.

After loss in semi-finals world cup Pakistan cricket lacks charm. Most unlucky team not to reach finals. Failure of Asif Ali, Shoaib Malik proved to be biggest loss even though other batsmen did very well.
