West Indies got humbled in the first T20I against Pakistan at Lauderhill in Florida. The two teams are all set to lock horns yet again in the second game of the three-match series at the same venue. Pakistan will look to seal the series with a win in the second T20I, whereas West Indies need to win to keep the series alive.
West Indies is going through an atrocious period, especially in the shortest format of the game, a format they have dominated in the past. The West Indies have lost three of their last 4 T20I series, and their only series win in the duration came against Ireland. One more loss and they will lose yet another T20I series, which doesn’t reflect the firepower and talent they have in their squad.
As far as Pakistan is concerned, they have hurled back strongly after a demeaning series loss to Bangladesh last month. They lost the 3-match T20I series 1-2 and were under pressure heading into this series. However, after a terrific display in the first T20I here in Florida, they have definitely turned the tables around and will be looking to seal the deal in this series in the second game itself.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for the WI vs PAK Dream11 prediction.

The pitch at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida, is expected to be a batting-friendly surface for the second T20I between West Indies and Pakistan. Historically, teams batting first have enjoyed more success here, with smaller boundaries encouraging aggressive stroke play. The average first innings score hovers around 154, but totals exceeding 190 are common. While pacers may find some early movement, the pitch flattens out quickly, making it ideal for batters to dominate. Spinners could come into play in the latter half of the innings, but overall, the surface promises a high-scoring contest.
