WI vs PAK 1st T20I 2025: The Pakistan cricket team will play a three-match T20I series and as many ODIs in their highly anticipated white-ball engagement in the West Indies that begins on August 1, 2025. West Indies (WI) will take on Pakistan (PAK) in the 1st T20I match at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Florida.
The test tour follows immediately after Pakistan were humbled 3-0 in the Twenty20 internationals by Bangladesh, with the hosts outplaying them in the first two matches before the visitors claimed a consolation win in the dead rubber. The West Indies, on the other hand, are led by Shai Hope and are looking to gain confidence before the T20 World Cup.
The leader of Pakistan will be Salman Agha, with the team aiming to bounce back and regain form in foreign conditions. Both sides will view this series as an opportunity to test new combinations and establish rhythm ahead of ICC tournaments.
