West Indies vs England Match Prediction

West Indies vs England Team Previews

West Indies

West Indies have slightly diminished from their A game in every format and have suffered a lot of defeats in their recently concluded matches. They tried many people at different positions especially during the T20 world cup, but often we have seen captain Kieron Pollard carrying the burden of scoring the bulk of runs alone. This West Indies squad will feature a lot of new faces in this format under the leadership of Kieron Pollard. Shai Hope and Brandon King are anticipated to bat first, with Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Darren Bravo, and Roston Chase expected to bat second and third. With players like Holder, Shepherd, and Odean Smith in the lineup, they have a lot of options at the plate. Sheldon Cotrell and Jason Holder will spearhead their pace attack, which will also include Romario Shepherd and Odean Smith. Dominic Drakes and Kyle Mayers are the squad’s reserve pacers. Their first-choice spinners will be Akeal Hossain and Roston Chase, with Fabian Allen and Hayden Walsh waiting in the wings.

England

England had one of the worst campaigns in Australia and they would look to keep that aside and try for a fresh start. England is a totally different side when it comes to white ball cricket and they are producing more and more specialist players who can be impactful in the shortest format of the game. Although England will be coming with a strong squad, they will be traveling to the Caribbean without some of the prominent faces in the ENglish setup. Eoin Morgan will lead England again, with Moeen Ali serving as his assistant for this series. Tom Banton and Jason Roy will open then, with Liam Livingstone, Sam Billings, Moeen Ali, and Eoin Morgan forming the foundation of the middle order. In this match, James Vince could be an extra batter in the starting XI. Tymal Mills, Chris Jordan, and Saqib Mahmood will lead their pace attack for this match, with George Garton and Reece Topley offering as backup choices. Spin bowling responsibilities will be handled by Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali, with Livingstone and Vince capable of providing some vital overs in the latter stages of the match.

West Indies News

• Shai Hope hit 99 runs in the Ireland series and looked in good form with a quick-fire fifty in the last ODI. We anticipate him to play a significant part in establishing their team’s efforts in this encounter.

• Holder, with his capacity to bowl short lengths and score fast runs further down the order, can be a great addition to any side in T20 contests.

England News

• Mills has lately been in fantastic form in the BBL and will be seeking to establish his worth for the national team. He is a great slow ball and variety bowler who will be a difficult bowler to face in his peak.

• Moeen Ali has been in excellent form with the bat and has the potential to help the club win games with both bat and ball. We anticipate that he will make his way from the frontline with the bat and ball.
