PAK vs WI Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for 2nd T20I
The second T20I between Pakistan (PAK) and West Indies (WI) is set to take place at the National Stadium in Karachi on Tuesday.
Pakistan thumped the Windies in the first T20I, courtesy of a complete bowling performance. They also had Haider Ali and Mohammad Rizwan to thank as they scored fifties to take the game away from the tourists. Although Pakistan head into the game as the clear favorites, the Windies boast a youthful and talented roster to fall back on, making for a good contest at the National Stadium.

Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch is a decent one to bat on despite there being ample help on offer for the bowlers. The new ball should do a bit, keeping the batters on their toes. The spinners should also get some help off the surface, but dew may affect their performance. Wickets in hand will be key for both sides, with 160-170 being a good total at the venue.
Today’s PAK vs WI Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas Pooran is perhaps West Indies' best bet with the bat, given all the injuries and personnel concerns they have encountered in the last few days. His ability to score quick runs in the middle overs and especially against the spinners makes him a brilliant option in your PAK vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Babar Azam: Babar Azam couldn't score any runs in the first T20I, which extended his barren run of form in the format. But Azam is a run-scoring machine in this format and with home conditions also playing into his hands, one wouldn't want to leave Azam out of your PAK vs WI Dream11 fantasy team based on his recent form.
All-rounder
Shadab Khan: Shadab Khan was sensational in the previous game, picking up a few wickets and even bowling a maiden over. His leg-spin will once again be key in the middle overs for Pakistan, making him a good option to have in your fantasy team.
Bowler
Akeal Hosein: Akeal Hosein has evolved into one of West Indies' best options in white-ball cricket with his accuracy and consistency being noteworthy. His ability to stifle batters and lure them into making mistakes should hold him in good stead ahead of this game in Karachi.
