PAK vs WI Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for 3rd T20I
The third T20I between Pakistan (PAK) and West Indies (WI) is set to take place at the National Stadium in Karachi on Thursday.
Pakistan have been brilliant in this series, putting in two good bowling performances. Although skipper Babar Azam continues to underwhelm with the bat, the hosts have turned up with the goods so far, a positive from the series. While Pakistan will want to close out the series with another win, West Indies have shown signs of improvement and should prove to be a handful for Babar and co. in what promises to be an entertaining game.

Pitch Report
As seen in the series, the pitch has been a decent one to bat on with help on offer for the bowlers. Although the batters will be wary of the swing available with the new ball, they should enjoy the ball skidding onto the bat. As the match progresses, the pitch should aid the spinners, who will have to counter the dew factor in the second innings. Both teams will ideally look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160 being par at the venue.
Today’s PAK vs WI Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas Pooran has blown hot and cold in the series, unable to convert his starts into big ones. He is one of the most experienced players in the West Indies squad for this series and will be keen to make up for his failures with a good performance today.
Batter
Babar Azam: Babar Azam has been woeful this series, scoring just nine runs in two games. The Pakistan captain would be keen to silence his critics with a big knock in the third and final T20I, making him a must-have in your PAK vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Romario Shepherd: Romario Shepherd has been West Indies' best player in the series, scoring runs and picking up wickets in both matches. Given the form that he has been in this format and also in the T10s, Shepherd presents a decent case for inclusion in your PAK vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Mohammad Wasim: Mohammad Wasim is the leading wicket-taker in the series, picking up six wickets in two games. He has been brilliant with his yorkers and variations, which should hold him in good stead going into this game. With Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf likely to be rested, Wasim could be in for a big performance.
