England vs West Indies prediction

England can sometimes be tough to predict in white ball cricket. And that remains to be the case heading into this three-game set. They certainly boast the firepower capable of adding big runs and the likes of Jamie Smith would love to play a big part for England as he gets set to open the batting under Brook’s command.

West Indies are a wildcard, but the feeling is that they are a stronger T20 unit and beating England over the longer form of the white ball game will be harder. Remember, this is a side who failed to qualify for the 50-over World Cup. Back England to kick things off with victory at Edgbaston, giving Brook a winning start.
