West Indies v Pakistan 3rd T20I – Team News

• Evin Lewis – The opener made some good scores against Australia but fell early in the 1st T20I that was eventually halted by the weather and retired hurt in the second. He will have to be assessed ahead of this.
• Nicholas Pooran – The Windies wicketkeeper-batsman hit an unbeaten 62 in the last game but needs to find better consistency.
• Mohammad Hafeez – The experienced batsman could do with a big score after struggling in the middle-order recently. He has contributed with the ball, however, and can do so again.
• Mohammad Rizwan – He was one of the stars for Pakistan in the T20I series in England and will want to form another solid partnership with captain Babar Azam.
• Shadab Khan – The spin bowling all-rounder did well in England and could have conditions in his favour. He may be needed to provide some late hitting with the bat.

Here are our free cricket betting tips for this contest. They can help guide your betting decisions.

This looks like being another close battle if the previous contest is anything to go by. Fine margins could decide the winner.

Back Rizwan for Top Batsman

Mohammad Rizwan has been in excellent form of late, including leading Multan to the PSL title.

He excelled in England and continued that in the previous game before falling just short of another half-century.

Backing him to be Pakistan’s top batsman looks a great bet. Babar is the obvious danger but it could be worth taking him on at the prices.

Rizwan is available at 3.75 with bet365. This is an appealing price for someone who has two half-centuries in his last four T20Is.

Pollard is a Value Bet

The West Indies have been a bit hit and miss at the top of the order in the last few matches and it means there could be value to be had lower down.

Evin Lewis joined Lendl Simmons on the injury table and both will have to be looked at by the medical team before this one. Andre Fletcher and Chris Gayle have also struggled for a score lately.

It could be worth picking Kieron Pollard for the West Indies’ top batsman given the inconsistency of others..

He could get enough time at the crease if his side lose early wickets and it would be no surprise to see some late hitting pick up this bet.

His price of 8.0 with Betway is an outside wager but is possible.

Hafeez to get Over 30.5 Performance Points

The experienced Mohammad Hafeez may have struggled with the bat at times but has been chipping in with wickets.

Conditions can suit his spin once again but he is also due a few more runs in the middle-order.

Backing him to get over 30.5 player performance points looks an interesting wager at 1.83 with bet365.

He is getting plenty of overs with the ball in hand and can add extra with the bat if it finally clicks.

Remember, he gets 20 points for each wicket, one per run and 10 for a catch in the field.
