THE LOWDOWN
WEST INDIES
West Indies pulled off a fabulous series victory in the ODIs, winning the third match by four-wickets via the DLS method, wielding their power with the bat in a run chase. Once again, big-hitting down the order late in the piece proved crucial in finishing the job, as the Windies continues to inflict heavy punishment among England’s bowlers. Now they look to carry that form into the T20i games.
ENGLAND
England must be happy not to play ODI cricket again for a while after a truly miserable couple of months. Being eliminated in the group stage of the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup was followed up by a 2-1 defeat at the hands of West Indies in their first bilateral ODI series since that tournament. They’ll be desperately hoping that a change of format provides a change in fortunes.
THE PREDICTION
If England are at their best then they should prevail, but what are the chances of them being so? Not high when considering recent 50-over performances. Confidence within the dressing room has been drained and questions continue to be asked regarding captain Jos Buttler and coach Matthew Mott. It would be no surprise if the recent unrest has a negative impact on T20 cricket, so consider backing West Indies to triumph here.
BETTING TIP: WEST INDIES TO WIN
