WI vs ENG Match Preview

The West Indies had a home advantage and a recent surge in T20 cricket. England has always been a formidable white-ball team, regardless of the squad they select, and will be up against a T20-mad nation. The West Indies should be familiar with the conditions after many members of their squad played in the CPL, whereas England may need a game or two to adjust. The West Indies may have the upper hand again in this T20I series.

WI vs ENG Probable Winners:

The comeback of Jos Buttler for England will undoubtedly propel them to new heights, but the West Indies have a strong track record at home in bi-lateral T20I series. As a result, we expect a close game in Barbados on Saturday, but we believe the West Indies will win. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.
