WI vs PAK Match Prediction, Pakistan tour of West Indies 2025: Who will Win West Indies vs Pakistan 1st T20I?
The 1st T20I of the Pakistan tour of West Indies 2025 will be played on August 1 in Lauderhill, Florida. This tour includes a three-match T20I series in Lauderhill and three ODI matches in Trinidad & Tobago. There are talks between PCB and CWI about changing the ODI series into more T20I matches, but nothing is confirmed yet, as per reports from Cricbuzz.
What matters more right now is the poor form of both teams in T20 matches. Both West Indies and Pakistan have not done well recently. Pakistan, the 2009 T20 World Cup winners, lost their series 1-2 against Bangladesh. West Indies, the two-time champions, were defeated 0-5 by Australia at home.
West Indies recently hosted Australia for both Test and T20I games but lost all matches. Meanwhile, Pakistan won their home T20I series against Bangladesh 3-0 in May. Still, the team is going through changes after they failed to reach the Super Eights in the T20 World Cup 2024.

West Indies vs Pakistan: Pitch Report and Weather Condition
The weather forecast for Friday in Lauderhill shows a chance of rain, and the highest temperature may reach around 32°C. The pitch at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground is good for batters, especially when the ball is new. As the match goes on, the pitch becomes slower, and spinners can get more help.
Out of the 19 T20I matches played at this ground, 11 were won by the team batting first, and 5 by the chasing team. The average score here is around 154 runs. The new ball is easier to hit, but if it rains, there could be some moisture on the pitch. This might make the ball move more in the beginning.

Both West Indies and Pakistan will hope to win the toss and choose to bowl first. The teams may want to take early advantage of the pitch and weather conditions.
West Indies vs Pakistan Match Prediction For Today Match?
We think Pakistan has a good chance to win this game. The home team, West Indies, is still looking for a win and has not shown strong form. But we should also remember that Pakistan has not done well in overseas T20I matches during their current transition period.
