The World Cup 2019 is already underway and Windies will lock horns with Pakistan in the next encounter of the tournament. Two of the most unpredictable teams in the tournament, both these sides will be hoping for a positive start. These teams haven’t come head to head against each other since 2017 and a lot has changed since then.

In the last five encounters, it is Pakistan who had an upper hand as they ended up on the winning side on four occasions. Thus, they will look to maintain the momentum going forward and get another win under their belt. However, this Windies team features some of the best hitters of the cricket ball in their team. With Pakistan bowling attack not in the best form in recent times, they will look to make most of the opportunity.

Here is the guide to select the Captain and vice-captain for Dream11 Fantasy

Captain Suggestions:

1. Babar Azam

The ever-reliable Babar Azam should be one of your first choices to pick as the captain of your side. He often holds the Pakistan batting together and plays the long innings. The No.7 ODI batsman is in good form and has had a terrific time in England. In the last three innings that he played, Babar scored two centuries and got to 80 once. He is the big game player in the Pakistan team and will have a critical role to play.

2. Shai Hope

Shai Hope is one of those players who has been just as consistent as Babar for Pakistan. He is coming fresh of a century in the warm-up game against New Zealand. In just 86 balls, the wicketkeeper-batsman scored 101 runs and looked extremely good. In the upcoming match, Hope is expected to play at the crucial number three position and will be the anchor in the Windies innings.

3. Chris Gayle

Windies opener Chris Gayle is one of the biggest hitters of the cricket ball. The England conditions could test his skills early on as he struggles slightly against swing. But if he manages to survive the initial phase of his innings, he could switch to his destructive best. Within no time, Gayle has the ability to make up for the balls consumed and can go on to make a huge score. He’s done well in the IPL and will look to carry on with the good form.

Vice-captain suggestions:

1. Imam-ul-Haq

Imam-ul-Haq is an option you can consider as the multiplier in your side. He scored 151 runs just a few days ago in the game against England. Imam is hitting the ball well and is finding the middle of the wood more often than not. With the Windies bowling not as strong at the moment, the odds are good that he might get a big one in the opening game.

2. Fakhar Zaman

Just like Imam, Fakhar Zaman has been equally good for Pakistan. He has had turbulent times recently and hasn’t been as consistent. However, he would have gained some confidence after the century he scored against England in the recent series. Moreover, Fakhar also doubles up as a part-time spinner and could pick one or two wickets if it is his day.

3. Andre Russell

There is no reason why you shouldn’t have Andre Russell as a multiplier in your team. The Windies all-rounder is hitting the ball like he never did before. With the amount of power that he applies on the ball, even his mistimed shots go well over the ropes. Moreover, Russell was never as consistent as he is at the moment. If he can pick up a wicket or two, he will be a terrific addition to your team.
