WI vs ENG Match Preview
The English team was looking down the barrel in their third game of the series against England. However, thanks mainly to the efforts of Phil Salt and Harry Brook they pulled off a blinder to stay alive in the 5-match series. In this 3rd game of the series, the Caribbeans batted first to score 222 runs for the loss of six wickets from their quota of 20 overs. England chased this stiff target well with one ball and seven wickets to spare. Phil Salt was adjudged player of the match for his superb unbeaten hundred.
During the West Indian innings, most of the English bowlers went for many runs. The pick of the bowlers for England was Adil Rashid who picked up two wickets for 32 runs from his quota of four overs. Another bowler who did a reasonable job was Sam Curran, who picked up two wickets for 34 runs, but he gave away a lot of extras during his effort. The English opening ball bowlers Moeen Ali and Reece Topley were successful in picking up one wicket each. These bowlers, apart from others, went for a lot of runs. England will also be looking at these bowlers to get them vital wickets.
During their reply, the England batters showed remarkable spirit. The England openers Phil Salt and the skipper Jos Buttler put on 115 runs from 11.2 overs when the first wicket in the form of Jos Buttler went down. Will Jacks did not contribute too much to the total and left early. But Liam Livingstone and Harry Brook provided terrific support to Salt. Brook, in particular, played an incredible cameo, hitting 31 runs from just seven deliveries with four sixes and one four. You can also expect these batters to do well for the English team in this 4th game of the series.
In this 4th game of the T20I series, the West Indies openers did not start well. Both their openers were dismissed early with nothing much on the board. However, a good partnership between Nicholas Pooran and Shai Hope scored 62 in 7.4 overs when Hope was denied. The skipper Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford made some valuable contributions lower down the order, with Jason Holder hitting some meaty blows towards the end. The West Indian bowlers had to endure a bad day at the office, with just Gudakes Motie returning with good figures. West Indies team will need some good performances from the bowlers such as Holder, Andre Russell, and Akeal Hosein up front to stop the buoyed English batting line-up.
