The final T20 international between West Indies and Pakistan takes place in Guyana on Tuesday, the series has been hampered by bad weather and coming into the game Pakistan lead 1-0.
The first contest in Barbados was washed out and when the teams moved onto Guyana for the remainder of the series Pakistan took a 1-0 lead with a 7 run victory. The third match was abandoned after just 8 balls leaving Pakistan on the verge of a series win.
It's probably best to dwell on the only completed match so far which saw Pakistan post 157/8 in their 20 overs. Babar Azam top scored with 51 ahead of our top bat pick Rizwan who was run out for 46. Jason Holder returned figures of 4/26.
In reply West Indies came up 7 run shorts despite an unbeaten 62 from Nicholas Pooran who we labelled in the top home bat market at 6/1. Mohammad Hafeez took the Man of the Match award with bowling figures of 1/6 from his 4 overs which were crucial in the outcome.
This was how the teams lined up for the third contest which hardly got out of the blocks.
West Indies: Andre Fletcher, Chris Gayle, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard (c), Jason Holder, Dwayne Bravo, Romario Shepherd, Hayden Walsh, Akeal Hosein

The Verdict
Both sides made changes between matches 2 and 3 with the strongest line ups fielded in the second match, the only completed game of the series. Second guessing the team selection for this last game doesn't make life any easier but I'll stick with Nicholas Pooran as top WI bat at a slightly shorter price than we got for the second match.
As far as the match result is concerned I see the teams closely matched and whilst it's certainly not a confident selection the 5/4 for a Pakistan win makes some appeal.
Bets: Top West Indies run scorer Nicholas Pooran at 6/1
Pakistan to win the game at 5/4
