Teams Status

West Indies

Only six minutes of play was possible in the 3^rd T20I before play was abandoned for good in what has become a sorry excuse of a series. First, covid shaved off a game from what was to be a five-match series. Then torrential rains washed away the first and third T20Is, and sandwiched in between was the precious second T20I – the only one that got completed and won by Pakistan.

Usually losing one game in a long four or five-match series is no big deal because you get chances for atonement. But that one mistake of losing the second T20I can now haunt the Windies and end up costing them the entire series, if the last match is also gobbled up by rains.

Accuweather has forecasted only “a couple of showers in the morning” and “otherwise, sun and clouds” but knowing Guayana you can expect the heavens to open up at any time.

One debate that does not need to be stirred up is team news and selections because whatever held true for the last game is still applicable for this one, thanks (or no thanks) to the six minutes of play.

Pakistan

On the other hand, are Pakistan, who are as lucky as the West Indies are unlucky. They are on the cusp of a series win despite winning just one game.

One thing that should worry them should be the menacing ease with which Andre Fletcher was taking on their spinners, who have otherwise been so good in whatever little cricket has been possible on this tour so far.

Second T20I hero Mohammad Hafeez was dispatched for a six and so was Imad Wasim, usually so tight and miserly with the flow of runs.

Could it be a sign of things to come for the final match? Possibly!

What do the Sportsbook Say

	1.60	2.14

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: West Indies to win at 1.66

West Indies is an ageing team. All this rest afforded to them should, in theory, revitalize the likes of Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo and whoever is on the wrong side of 30. They will also be playing to save the series, which should motivate them more. Pakistan are also not known to fare well under overcast conditions. The play here is to back the West Indies to win @ 1.66 with Betway.

Tip: Total runs in the highest scoring over of the match Under 18.5 @ 1.95

This has all the makings of a low scoring match and so the highest over should also not go for too many runs. We see value here, which is why we think that that the Under spread should be picked here. This play can be found on 22Bet.
