This article will talk about the probable XIs for both teams and continue with the Dream11 predictions and the winning fantasy team for the fourth T20I between West Indies and Pakistan that is scheduled to take place on the 3rd of August 2021.
The two T20Is out of four-match series have been washed out as we witnessed just one complete game in this series between West Indies and Pakistan. It will be the last T20I match between the two teams on Tuesday at Guyana.
Pakistan took the lead of 1-0 after winning the second T20I match against the home side. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are two performers with the bat along with spin all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez. Pakistan has made one change in the bowling department as Harish Rauf replaced Shaheen Afridi in the last match.
West Indies will have to win this match to save the series defeat at home. Even Lewis is carrying an injury as he missed out last T20I match. Andre Fletcher showed some glimpse before rain interrupted the third T20I match between the teams. The Kieron Pollard-led side will expect a complete game and a victory in this last match to level the series against Pakistan.
Match Details
Venue: Providence Stadium, Guyana
Pitch and Weather: The weather played a major part in this four-match series as the pitch was used in just one match. Batsmen are getting runs in the initial overs against pace bowling and spinners are getting help as the match progresses. However, Pakistan defended the total in the second T20I match which showed the slowness of the pitch in the second inning. The average score will be around 160 in this match. The weather will be cloudy as a couple of showers are expected during the match.
Date & Time: August 3, 8.30 PM IST
Probable Playing XIs
West Indies are unlikely to make any changes in this match as the last match was washed out. Andre Russell replaced injured Even Lewis, which will likely remain the same in this match.

Mohammad Hafeez has been brilliant with his spin bowling. In the bowling department, Haris Rauf got the chance in the last match so he is likely to get one more game. Shadab Khan and Usman Qadir will be the two spinners.
