Pakistan vs West Indies 3rd ODI Match Prediction
Match: PAK vs WI ODI Match Prediction
Time: 12 June, 04:30 PM (IST)
Series: 3rd ODI Match
Venue: Multan Cricket Stadium – Multan, Pakistan
Info:
Babar Azam hit five fours and one six on his way to top scoring for Pakistan again in Friday’s game. The skipper is our pick for Pakistan’s highest run scorer in this final ODI. With the ball, Shaheen Shah Afridi took 1-17 in the second ODI and we are backing him to be Pakistan’s top wicket taker on Sunday.
Although he only lasted six balls on Friday, Shai Hope remains West Indies most consistent batter and he is our tip for West Indies’ highest run scorer in this match. Alzarri Joseph took 2-33 and bowled a maiden in the second ODI and he is a strong choice for West Indies’ top wicket taker against Pakistan.
In spite of top scoring for the winning side on Wednesday and Friday, the Player of the Match Award has eluded Babar Azam in both games. We predict he will take the award in this final ODI.

Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
It will get cloudier as the game progresses after beginning under sunny skies and a high of 39 degrees. However, the temperature will always be above 35 degrees from start to finish.
🏟️ Pitch:
Nine wickets fell to spin in Friday’s ODI and we expect the slow bowlers and the pacers to find some joy from this surface. Any score over 350 will be very hard to overcome.

Both teams have won a toss each with the skipper on either side choosing to bat first. We predict that whoever wins the toss will choose to bat first ahead of this match.

Team News:
PAK Team News:
There was one change to the Pakistan line-up ahead of Friday’s second ODI with Hassan Ali replaced by Mohammad Wasim. Ali had gone wicketless and conceded 68 runs in Wednesday’s game and we expect Wasim, who took 3-34, to retain his spot.
WI Team News:
20 year old pace bowler Jayden Seales was left out of the West Indies’ XI for the second ODI. He was replaced by Anderson Phillip who responded with the wickets of Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah. Although Seales has a bright future, we expect Phillip to be selected for this match.

Final Verdict
Pakistan are favorites to beat West Indies
PAK Key Players:
Babar Azam:
the skipper kept up his incredible run of form in this format with 77 runs from 93 balls in the second ODI. He now averages over 60 in ODIs.
Mohammad Rizwan:
the all-rounder put in a fine performance with the ball on Friday. After failing with the bat he returned incredible bowling figures of 4-19 from 10 overs.
Shaheen Shah Afridi:
the opening bowler may have only dismissed one batter in the second ODI, but he crucially dismissed Shai Hope, West Indies’ best batter, in the first over of their reply.
WI Key Players:
Shai Hope:
it is always a big shock to see Hope failing in this format but there will always be a small score coming up for any batter. Expect him to respond with a trademark big contribution in this ODI.
Shamarh Brooks:
the 33 year old only made his ODI debut in January of this year but he has been a revelation in this format. He top scored with 42 runs from 56 balls on Friday.
Alzarri Joseph:
the right-arm fast medium bowler has taken four wickets across the series. He dismissed Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan in the second ODI.
Team Form:
PAK Team Form:
Pakistan have clocked up four successive ODI wins and few would bet against them making it five in a row in this final match of the series.
WI Team Form:
West Indies have found that Pakistan in Pakistan are a much tougher opponent than the Netherlands in the Netherlands. There needs to be a big swing of form for West Indies to challenge in this game.
