They start heavy favourites in the home versus Sri Lanka and also Pakistan but their shortage of Test cricket along with a pure edge-- they beat the West Indies 1-0 away in August yet their series before that remained in New Zealand with players not involved in the SAT20-- produces all of them unforeseeable. Their batting is actually greatly unproven at Exam amount as well as quick bowler Anrich Nortje being extremely unlikely to return coming from injury for the upcoming set are actually concerns however with high quality quicks like Kagiso Rabada still in the line-up they can create damage. Pakistan-- 8th, 19.05% as well as West Indies-- 9th, 18.52% For Pakistan and West Indies, the focus is more on recovering pleasure in home set against England and Bangladesh specifically as they run out the competing Lords.
