ENG vs WI T20, Today Match Prediction On June 20 2024

Match Prediction:

The second game in Group 2 of the Super Eights features a thrilling clash between England and West Indies at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia. England secured second place in Group B, while West Indies dominated Group C in the tournament’s first stage. The match kicks off at 20:30 local time on Wednesday, June 19th.

England narrowly kept their T20 World Cup hopes alive by winning their last two group games against Oman and Namibia. Earlier, a no-result against Scotland and a loss to Australia had put them in a precarious position. This upcoming match will be a far greater challenge than their recent fixtures.

West Indies breezed through their matches against PNG and Uganda before facing a tough contest with New Zealand, followed by a commanding victory over Afghanistan in Match 40. Confident with both bat and ball, they will look to overpower the reigning champions in this exciting encounter.

Top Batsmen for ENG vs WI

For England, our batting tips are Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, and Harry Brook. Brook, batting at number four, was in excellent form against Namibia, scoring 47 not out from just 20 balls and earning the Player of the Match award with four fours and two sixes. Salt has impressive stats, averaging over 32 with a strike rate of 167.47 in his 25 T20I innings.

For West Indies, we recommend Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran, and Rovman Powell. Opener Charles enters this game in great form, having scored 43 runs from 27 balls with eight fours against Afghanistan in their last match. Powell hit two sixes in the previous game and has a top T20I score of 107, with six additional innings of 50 or more.

Team Bowlers for ENG vs WI

Our bowling picks for England are Jofra Archer, Reece Topley, and Adil Rashid. Left-arm pace bowler Reece Topley will take the new ball, coming into this game with figures of 0/6 from two overs against Namibia and 3/41 in the final T20I against Pakistan in late May. Archer has been in good form, with five wickets from his last three games.

For West Indies, we recommend Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein, and Obed McCoy. Left-arm spinner Motie could trouble England’s right-handers, having taken 2/28 against Afghanistan. McCoy, returning to the side, delivered a brilliant performance, and the 27-year-old left-arm fast-medium bowler boasts a strike rate of 14.1.

🏆 England vs West Indies Prediction:

This appears to be an exciting match, with both of these teams playing their first game in this year’s Super Eights stage. We expect both innings of this match to be tight, with no team gaining a significant lead at any moment, although we believe England has somewhat better quality with bat and ball. We expect England to win this match.
