WI vs ENG Match Preview
Shai Hope has been the standout batter of this series with 177 runs to his name. He is going to be very highly owned but we recommend that you pick him once more for this match. He is an ODI legend in the making especially for a West Indian team that has been starved of success for a long time.
Will Jacks, Harry Brook, and Jos Buttler are other players that you can consider with Phil Salt being a low-owned player that you can take a risk with. Sherfane Rutherford played really well for the West Indies in the previous match and he is another batter that we would like to consider.
The all-round options are a bit thin but before looking there, make sure you have all three spinners in your lineup. Motie, Rehan, and Livingstone have been among thee pick of the bowlers. They have picked the most wickets and kept the runs low.
If needed, look at Romario Shepherd as a possible all-round pick. His big-hitting has been excellent and he also has managed three wickets in the two matches so far.
Weather Report
There is no rain predicted for match day and we should hopefully have no interruptions.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Barbados is generally flat and good for batting. It is not the fastest surface and can offer a little help for the spinners. We think a high-scoring match could be in store with something around 300 being par.
Notable stats
Rehan Ahmed: Dependable Spinner
With identical figures of 10 overs two wickets for forty runs, Rehand Ahmed is in a good space heading into this match. He has been a lot more consistent with his bowling and could very well be the pick of the bowlers for England.
Team News
There are no injury reports or concerns to speak of.

Dream11 Prediction
We think England has an excellent chance of winning this match and keeping their streak of not having lost an ODI series in West Indies since 1996 alive. England's batting is better and now that its bowlers have found form, they look like a much stronger team than the West Indies.
Top Picks
Will Jacks - Four sixes in the previous match, a career strike rate well over 100, and you can see how dangerous he can be in ODI cricket. An excellent choice to have in your fantasy team.
Shai Hope - We know that Hope is going to be very popular but you may want to double down and pick him as captain. He loves playing against England and is in terrific form.
Phil Salt - Salt has not quite set the stage on fire so far and that is why he is unlikely to be very highly picked. He is an aggressive batter that can take the game on from the first ball. Worth a risk.
