Mumbai: West Indies may not be regarded as favourites to win the World Cup 2019, but they are certainly capable of causing an upset in the tournament. The West Indies line-up comprises T-20 specialists, who have the potential of changing the game with their aggressive display of batting.

The pair of Chris Gayle and Andre Russell have been in scintillating form, and have shown glimpses of their aggressive batting in IPL 2019. The Caribbean side also has match-winners like Shai Hope, Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer and Jason Holder. Analyzing their batting line-up, West-Indies can be rightly termed as the dark horses of the tournament.

Pakistan would be looking to bounce back on the international scene, after suffering a whitewash against England in the recent ODI series. Pakistan was successful in lifting the Champions Trophy 2017, and their journey has not been an easy once since then.

Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman and Imam ul Haq have proved their mettle and are a vital part of the current Pakistan team. Pakistan is a strong side on paper, with bowling being a forte for the Men in Green. Bowlers like Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz will be lead the bowling department of Pakistan.

West Indies Squad: Jason Holder (c), Fabian Allen, Darren Bravo, Shannon Gabriel, Shimron Hetmyer, Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite, Sheldon Cottrell, Chris Gayle, Shai Hope, Ashley Nurse, Kemar Roach, Oshane Thomas

Pakistan Squad: Sarfaraz Ahmed (c), Asif Ali, Fakhar Zaman, Hasan Ali, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Hafeez, Shadab Khan, Shoaib Malik, Babar Azam, Haris Sohail, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Hasnain, Shaheen Afridi, Wahab Riaz

Dream11 Squad: Chris Gayle(c), Ewin Lewis, Shai Hope, Imam ul Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Zam, Andre Russell, Jason Holder, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Ashley Nurse
