WI vs PAK 3rd ODI Dream11 Prediction: Best Fantasy Picks, Playing XI & Captain Choices for Series Decider
The Pakistan tour of West Indies 2025 reaches its climax with the third and final ODI at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad, on Tuesday, August 12 at 7 PM IST. With the series levelled at 1-1, this clash is set to be a high-stakes decider — a dream fixture for fantasy cricket players crafting their WI vs PAK Dream11 teams.
Why Is This Match a Dream11 Goldmine?
The first ODI went Pakistan’s way with disciplined bowling and clinical finishing. The second ODI, however, was rain-affected and reduced to 35 overs, giving West Indies the edge thanks to sharp bowling from Gudakesh Motie and a composed knock from Shai Hope.
This sets up a winner-takes-all showdown where form, adaptability, and toss luck could decide the result — all vital considerations for Dream11 fantasy cricket predictions.
WI vs PAK Pitch Report – How Will It Affect Your Dream11 Picks?
The Brian Lara Stadium pitch has shown signs of being slow and low due to recent rain. Uneven bounce and spin-friendly conditions mean batters must be patient, and bowlers who can vary their pace will thrive.
Pacers: Early movement and bounce for the first 5–6 overs.
Spinners: Grip and turn as the game progresses, making them crucial mid-overs wicket-takers.
Chasing Advantage: If rain shortens the match, chasing teams are likely to benefit.

Key Fantasy Insights
Rain Factor – Given the forecast of scattered thunderstorms, DLS might come into play. Prioritize players who can make quick impact in fewer overs.
Spin Dominance – Expect Motie, Chase, and Nawaz to play decisive roles.
Top-Order Struggles – Early swing could see wickets fall quickly, making middle-order stability crucial for fantasy points.
WI vs PAK Dream11 Match Prediction
West Indies enter this decider with momentum after their second ODI win, but Pakistan’s overall tour form suggests they could bounce back strongly. If Pakistan’s batting unit finds rhythm early, they are favourites to seal the series. However, West Indies’ hunger for a rare series win makes them dangerous opponents.
Predicted Winner: Pakistan (55% edge) – but expect a thriller that could swing either way if rain intervenes.
