Player Props 

Shai Hope Total Runs Over 25.5 in 1st Innings @ 1.85 (Jackbit)

In the recently concluded T20i series against Australia, Shai Hope came out as the leading run-scorer for the West Indies. He was the 2nd highest run-scorer in the series with 185 runs in 5 matches at an average of 46.25 and a strike rate of 149.19.

When it comes to T20 cricket, Shai Hope has been in good form. In 28 T20 fixtures in different cricket leagues and international fixtures, Hope has collected 936 runs at an average of 39 and a strike rate of 129.10.

In his entire career in the T20i format, Shai Hope has scored 1180 runs in 48 fixtures at an average of 29.50 and a strike rate of 141.31. At home, Shai Hope has scored 659 runs in 25 T20 international fixtures at an average of 32.95 and a strike rate of 143.26.

Batsman (West Indies) will hit 50 runs @ 1.45 (Batery Bet)

There are multiple factors that will work in favour of the hosts. West Indies is playing at home, and they are in active mode as they recently concluded the T20i series against Australia. They definitely lost the series, but the West Indies have the right momentum going on.

As mentioned above, Shai Hope will be the key batter for the team. After him, Brandon King also played an important role in the recent fixtures. He was the 4th highest run-scorer in the WI vs AUS T20i series with 160 runs in 5 matches at an average of 32 and a strike rate of 155.33.

After these two batters, Shimon Hetmyer is another batsman who can do major damage to the opposition. In the T20 cricket overall, Shimon Hetmyer is the leading Jamaican run-scorer with 1071 runs in 46 T20s at an average of 29.75 and a strike rate of 169.46.

High Value Bets on Stake for West Indies Batsmen

Top Batter West Indies 

The West Indies were not in good shape against Australia in the T20i series, but skipper Shai Hope was the consistent performer. He has the required experience to perform under immense pressure for the team and can do wonders against any bowling attack, and it will be a safe bet on the betting sites in India.

Our Prediction

Bet on Shai Hope (Safe Bet), Bet on Rovmen Powell (Punt bet)

Top Batter Pakistan

Pakistan had a terrible start to the new season of the T20i cricket. They are travelling to the West Indies after facing a 3-0 defeat in the T20 format in Bangladesh. It was a poor show from the men in green, and that is where the risk comes in.

During the T20i series against Bangladesh, Sahibzada Farhan was the top run-scorer for the team with 63 runs in a single game at a strike rate of 153.65. He is also the top run-scorer in the T20 cricket this year with 1192 runs in 22 T20 fixtures at an average of 59.60 and a strike rate of 170.28. It will be a safe bet, and I would recommend placing your bets on Sahibzada Farhan.

In 2025, Pakistan’s skipper Salman Ali Agha has come out as the top run-scorer in the T20i cricket. He has collected 281 runs in 11 matches at an average of 35.12 and a strike rate of 126.57. Hassan Nawaz is following him with 260 runs in 11 T20i games at an average of 28.88 and a strike rate of 179.31.

You can also place your bets on Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman, but it will be a huge risk.

Our Prediction

Bet on Sahibzada Farhan (Safe Bet), Bet on Saim Ayub (Risky Bet)

Top Bowler West Indies

Jason Holder was the top performer for the West Indies against Australia in the T20i series. He scalped 7 wickets in 5 matches at an economy of 9.94. It should be noted that he is the 3rd highest wicket-taker in T20 cricket overall in 2025. Jason Holder has scalped a total of 51 wickets in 37 T20 fixtures at an average of 9.02.

Akeal Hosein is another bowler who can come out as the top performer. He has scalped 10 wickets in 8 T20 international fixtures this year at an economy of 8.29. However, I won’t recommend betting on him because of his recent performance at home against Australia.

The riskiest bets will be on Matthew Forde and Gudakesh Motie.

Our Prediction

Bet on Jason Holder

Top Bowler Pakistan

Shaheen Afridi is making his comeback to the shortest format of the game. I will recommend placing your bets on Pakistan’s most experienced and ferocious pacer. Afridi carries the required experience and tactical advantage to scalp multiple wickets in the 1st T20i.

Salman Mirza will be another bowler to watch. He was the top wicket-taker in the T20i series against Bangladesh with 7 wickets in 3 matches at an economy of 5.21. Overall in 2025, Salman Mirza has scalped 27 wickets in 14 T20 internationals at an economy of 7.10.

Our Prediction

Bet on Shaheen Afridi
