Special Bets on the WI vs PAK, 1st ODI

The Pakistan tour to the West Indies has reached the 2nd phase, where the two teams will now clash in the 50-over format. West Indies vs Pakistan ODI series will consist of 3 matches, where the first match is scheduled to take place on Friday at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy.

West Indies have lost the T20 series by 1-2 as they ended up losing the 3rd match on Monday. The beginning of the ODI series will bring in some new hope and revival for the team. West Indies have some of the best white-ball players, but still, the squad couldn’t manage to score a series win at home. The primary reason for their series loss was the middle-order collapse and their inconsistent performance by the bowling unit. The online cricket betting in India predicted the same for the West Indies, but they still have a chance to revive as a solid combination of players.

Pakistan dominated the series with the bat, and the onus of the series win goes to their batters. It was a good performance by their bowlers as well, who kept the hosts under pressure in every single fixture. Now, the team management will be hopeful to repeat the result in the ODI format as well. Their key players - Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Naseem Shah are making a comeback to the team and that makes the visitors more of a threat to the hosts.

In this article, we bring you a collection of Special Bets and free cricket betting tips for the WI vs PAK, 1st ODI Match.

Salman Ali Agha Total Runs Over 26.5 in 1st Innings @ 1.85 (Jackbit)

In recent times, Salman Ali Agha has come out as the best batsman for Pakistan across all formats of cricket. He has gained expertise to be a run-scorer in all three formats, and we can expect him to score a good number for Pakistan in the 1st ODI.

Salman Ali Agha has been part of 8 ODIs in 2025, and he has collected 358 runs in 8 matches at an average of 44.75 and a strike rate of 103.76. In his entire ODI career, Salman has scored 1054 runs in 38 matches at an average of 42.16 and a strike rate of 99.34.

For the Friday fixture, I will go with Salman Ali Agha scoring over 26.5 runs with odds of 1.85 at Jackbit.

Batsman (West Indies) will hit 50 runs - Battery Bet

West Indies have multiple white-ball expert batters who can be of immense value for the team. Keacy Carty, Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Shai Hope, and Roston Chase are some of the big names that the hosts will be dependent on for runs.

Keacy Carty is the top run-scorer in the ODI format for West Indies in 2025. He has been part of 6 ODIs this year and has 432 runs at an average of 72 and a strike rate of 100. In these 6 ODIs, Keacy Carty has scored 3 centuries, and that makes him the top name among all the batters.

Shai Hope is another batter who can dominate the game. In 6 ODIs this year, he has scored 229 runs at an average of 38.16 and a strike rate of 101.77. In these 6 ODIs, Shai Hope has scored 2 fifties for the team.

West Indies have a good lineup of batters, and we can expect one of the batsmen to score a fifty.

High Value Bets on Stake for Pakistan Batsmen

Top Batter West Indies

West Indies will come up with the best combination of batters for the ODI series. In the T20 series, Sherfane Rutherford came out as the leading run-scorer for the team with 71 runs in 3 T20i at an average of 23.66 and a strike rate of 122.41. However, his stats in ODI format are so good.

Keacy Carty and Shai Hope are going to be the best betting option for the West Indies. Brandon King is another batsman who can score runs from the top order. However, he has an average of 18.83 in 6 ODIs in 2025.

I will say Shai Hope is the safest bet for the first ODI against Pakistan. Sherfane Rutherford will be a risky bet for the same.

Our Prediction

Bet on Shai Hope (Safe Bet), Bet on Sherfane Rutherford (Punt bet)

Top Batter Pakistan

There are two key batters who are coming back in action at the beginning of the ODI series. Skipper Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam will be the attractions for the 1st ODI.

In 2025, Mohammad Rizwan collected 292 runs in 8 ODIs at an average of 41.71 and a strike rate of 73.18. Babar Azam has managed 278 runs in 8 ODIs at an average of 34.75 and a strike rate of 82.73.

We suggest Babar Azam will be the safest bet, and Salman Ali Agha will be a risky bet.

Our Prediction

Bet on Babar Azam (Safe Bet), Bet on Salman Ali Agha (Risky Bet)

Top Bowler West Indies

West Indies have a weakness when it comes to their bowling unit. They have struggled in the past, and they are expected to struggle with the bowl in the upcoming fixture.

In 2025, Alzarri Joseph is their top bowler with 10 wickets in 6 ODIs at an economy of 5.58. However, he is not part of the series and in his absence. Jayden Seales will play an important role for the team. Jayden Seales has scalped 8 wickets in 5 matches at an economy of 7.08 in 2025.

I will pick a safe bet with Jayden Seals and Gudakesh Motie. But Justin Greaves will be the risky bet.

Our Prediction

Bet on Jayden Seals

Top Bowler Pakistan

Pakistan will be largely dependent on their pace unit to scalp wickets for the team. Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Hasan Ali will be the 3 key bowlers for the team.

Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah are the leading wicket-takers for Pakistan in 2025. They both have managed to scalp 8 wickets each at an economy of 7.25 and 6.07, respectively.

In the spin division, Abrar Ahmed and Sufiyan Muqeem will be leading the way for the team. Abrar Ahmed has picked up 5 wickets in 5 ODIs this year at an economy of 4.92.

I will pick Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah as the safest bet for Pakistan and Abrar Ahmed as the riskiest bet.

Our Prediction

Bet on Naseem Shah
