WI vs Pak Prediction: Chasing a 10/1 Winner in the 3rd ODI

A battling win for the West Indies in the second ODI on Sunday means the two teams head into a series decider on Tuesday, live on TNT Sports from 13:30. 

Dan Thomas is here with a look at how the two teams are shaping up and his best bets as he brings us his West Indies vs Pakistan prediction… 

Windies take heart from battling win 

West Indies squared the series 1-1 with a determined, weather-affected five-wicket win on Sunday, securing victory by chasing down a DLS-adjusted target of 181 in 35 overs with 10 balls to spare.  

Sherfane Rutherford's brutal 45 off 33 balls, which included three sixes, and Roston Chase's cool, unbeaten 49 steered the chase after Jayden Seales led the attack with key new-ball wickets. Spinners Roston Chase and Gudakesh Motie found crucial control in damp conditions, and their discipline will be key again on Tuesday. 

Pakistan scoring rate a concern 

Pakistan will feel the second ODI was a missed opportunity after an impressive first-match win. Persistently slow starts from the top order have put extra pressure on middle/lower order, where Hasan Nawaz did his best to put the foot down with three sixes in his unbeaten 36. 

Standout bowling came from Hasan Ali and Mohammad Nawaz, who consistently pegged back West Indies during the chase and took two wickets apiece at good economy rates. Nawaz, in particular, kept things very tight, conceding just 17 off his seven overs.  

Pitch and conditions 

The Brian Lara Cricket Academy at Tarouba produced a rain-affected, bowler-friendly surface in the second ODI, with spinners and seamers both finding some help. The forecast suggests a 20% chance of rain on Tuesday, mainly passing showers and clouds, but less disruption than previously. Early overhead conditions may favour swing and movement.  

Key Odds  

Having been as big as 13/8 ahead of the second ODI, West Indies are now rated as an 11/8 chance after drawing level in the series, with Pakistan available at 4/7. 

Hope heads the top batter market for the Windies at 5/2, with Chase as big as 10/1 to repeat his second ODI heroics. Despite looking scratchy so far in the series, Azam and Mohammed Rizwan are rated at 11/4 and 3/1 respectively to top score for the visitors.  

On the bowling front, Seales is the 11/4 favourite for the Windies, with Shamar Joseph and Motie at 3/1 while, for Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi is 9/4 jolly despite going wicketless in the second match.

Best Bets 

With bowler-friendly conditions on the cards again in Tarouba, the team that scores more quickly will be at an advantage and, to this end, I'm happy to take the 11/8 on the West Indies to back up their victory in the second ODI.  

Pakistan's middle order has struggled to get it off the square at times - Rizwan scored four off his first 23 deliveries last time out - and it's difficult to suddenly shake off that sort of form and go on the attack.  

I'll also add a small stakes bet on Chase to repeat his top West Indies batter accolade from the second match at a chunky looking 10/1.
