WI vs ENG Team Previews

West Indies

The hosts will be disappointed with the way they performed in the 2nd ODI, especially when it came to the bowling department. They were unable to defend a massive target of 329 runs and squandered away and early lead in the series.

Brandon King and Evin Lewis haven’t been consistent at the top of the order and the team will expect a better start from them in this game. Brandon King in particular is going through a lean patch and hasn’t scored a half-century in his last 12 outings.

Skipper Shai Hope appeared to be in sublime form on Saturday as he scored the 17th century of his career to steer his team to a huge total. He will be supported by Keacy Carty, Sherfane Rutherford, and Shimron Hetmeyer in the middle order.

The bowlers will need to bowl a better line and length as they were taken for plenty of runs last time. Matthew Forde is the best bowler so far with 5 wickets, while Gudakesh Motie has 4.

England

England mounted a stunning comeback to level the series and will now hope to win its first series in the Caribbean since 2016/17.

Phil Salt, Sam Curran, and Jacob Bethell were all in excellent form as they struck half-centuries to take their team closer to the massive target. However, it was Liam Livingstone, who played a stunning knock of 124 not out to take his team over the line.

In addition, the visitors have plenty of firepower in the top and middle order in the form of Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, and Dan Mousely.

The bowling from England hasn’t been the best and that is something they will have to improve on in the next game. Jofra Archer has managed to pick up only 1 wicket in 2 games while John Turner has 2. The spinners, Adil Rashid and Livingstone have picked up 5 wickets between them.

WI vs ENG Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the Kensington Oval is usually balanced, offering equal opportunities to the batsmen and the bowlers. The new ball swings around and there is seam movement as well, especially when the ball is new. However, as the game progresses, batting becomes a bit easier. The average first-inning score is around 230. The spinners can expect some turn during the second half.

The weather will remain overcast and there is a chance that rain may cause interruptions. We can also expect to see a shortened game due to rain.

WI vs ENG Betting Tips

With the series on the line, we can expect both teams to play to their 100% in this game. Both teams need to work on their bowling and there is little separating the two in terms of form. However, we feel that England has a slight edge here thanks to a stronger opening pair and depth in batting.

Bet on England to win.
