Pakistan played wonderful Cricket in recent years in ODI format under the captaincy of Babar Azam who was breaking world records for fun every time he touched the bat. In the 50-over format, Pakistan was unstoppable for the past two years. 

Even the mighty Australia arrived in Pakistan for the first time since 1998, but they were also unable to beat Pakistan. This West Indies team which was led by Nicolas Pooran had no chance against the mighty Pakistan. They lost all the three matches in the series.

With taking the current form into consideration, Pakistan start as favorites against the Men in Blues. India will look to take revenge on Pakistan for the brutal loss against them in the T20 World Cup Last year.
