ENG vs WI Match Preview

The ODI series between England and the West Indies was fairly one-sided, with England pushing in only one of the three games, but the tourists will be hoping that some additions to their squad can help them compete in these three T20Is. Overall, the 'Men in Maroon' have had a disappointing tour of Ireland and England, winning just one and losing four of their six scheduled games. After finishing the ODIs in the bustling streets of London, the players were caught up in traffic on their way to the ground, and the start was delayed.

ENG vs WI Probable Winners:

We expect the West Indies to be much more competitive in this format, and the addition of new players should make them difficult to beat. England has also added Phil Salt to an already confident batting lineup, and we expect them to win again. Considering the team combination, England is expected to win this match.
