LONDON: Two supremely talented teams collide in a four-match T20 International series with the West Indies and Pakistan starting Wednesday (today) at Kensington Oval in Barbados before the contest shifts to Providence Stadium in Guyana for the remaining three matches. Since being well beaten by 84 runs in Dhaka at the 2014 World T20, Pakistan have gotten the better of the reigning world champions in nine of the subsequent ten meetings. One of the most consistent criticisms of this West Indies T20 squad is that they are too reliant on boundary-hitting and soak up far too many scoreless deliveries for them to be consistently competitive when the big events come around. Teams (probable):West Indies: Kieron Pollard (captain), Evin Lewis, Lendl Simmons, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran (wicketkeeper), Andre Russell, Jason Holder, Dwayne Bravo, Fabian Allen, Hayden Walsh, Fidel Edwards. Pakistan: Babar Azam (captain), Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Sohaib Maqsood, Mohammad Hafeez, Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usman Qadir, Mohammad Hasnain.
