PAK vs WI 1st Test, Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today?

After an interesting tournament, the WTC winds down with two series that will go down as dead rubbers. West Indies and Pakistan both are at the bottom separated by a few decimal points on percentage. The series here could well decide who finishes at the bottom as both have endured torrid runs. West Indies though will be a touch happier considering they at least have the Gabba win to savour and some interesting new talent on the rise.
