Saim Ayub, who got a start in the final game against Bangladesh after struggling to score runs in the first two matches, would wish to get some runs under his belt in the first of the three T20Is against the West Indies as well.

Ayub will face the challenge of Akeal Hosein, who is expected to take the new ball for the team.

Brandon King vs Shaheen Afridi

West Indies opener Brandon King would like to continue the rich vein of form he is in and play an attacking innings in the first T20I against Pakistan.

King will go head-to-head against former Pakistan captain Shaheen Afridi, who is making a comeback in Pakistan's T20I setup.
