The second T20I between West Indies and Pakistan is set to take place at the Providence Ground in Guyana on Saturday.
After a false start to the series, the West Indies will look to resume their preparations for the T20 World Cup with a win over Pakistan. However, Babar Azam and co. are perhaps one of the most unpredictable sides in the shortest format, making for a cracking game in Guyana.

Pitch Report
A competitive game between bat and ball is in store with some help on offer for both the pacers and spinners. While the pacers should get the ball to swing around early on, the batters will look to make good use of the powerplay restrictions. As the match progresses, spinners will play a significant role, with the pacers also ideally reverting to off-pace deliveries. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss with 150-160 being par at the venue.
Today's WI vs PAK Dream11 match top picks
Wicket-keeper
Mohammad Rizwan: Mohammad Rizwan is the top run-scorer in T20Is this year, with the wicket-keeper batsmen making good use of his promotion to the top of the order. Given the nature of the pitch, Rizwan could well be in for another productive outing.
Batsmen
Babar Azam: Babar Azam isn't far off Rizwan in terms of impact with the bat. With the kind of form that he is in, Azam is a must-have in your WI vs PAK Dream11 team.
Evin Lewis: Evin Lewis had a woeful ODI series against Australia before getting back amongst the runs in the final ODI. With Lendl Simmons likely to be ruled out, the onus is on Lewis to deliver a fast start at the top of the order.
All-rounders
Shadab Khan: Pakistan's lead spinner, Shadab Khan enjoyed a decent tour of England with the ball. However, Shadab will be crucial in the lower-middle order, with the pitch suiting him perfectly.
Bowlers
Hayden Walsh: West Indian leg-spinner Hayden Walsh has been the talk of the town with a heap of wickets under his belt in the last few weeks. Given the nature of the track and the amount of turn on offer, Walsh should be a handful for the tourists.
Hasan Ali: Hasan Ali was the pick of the bowlers in the first T20I as he picked up two wickets in a rain-curtailed encounter. Given his bag of tricks, Hasan Ali is one to watch out for in this game and the series as well.
