WI vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis
West Indies will look to even the series as they take on England in the second T20I at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. England cruised to a win in the first match and will be aiming to go up 2-0. Though they lost the ODI series, the visitors seem much more at ease in the shortest format of the game. For the hosts, improving their bowling will be the focus, as their batting lineup is already looking strong.
TEAMS PREVIEW
West Indies Preview
West Indies would be disappointed with their bowling performance in the first T20I. After the batters put up a solid score of 182 on the board, the bowlers couldnβt trouble any of the England batters, and they romped home with the loss of just 2 wickets in 16.5 overs.
England Preview
Phil Saltβs outstanding unbeaten hundred powered England to a dominant eight-wicket win in the first T20I, giving them a 1-0 edge in the five-match series. The home team was kept in check by Saqib Mahmood, who claimed a career-best 4 for 34. Mahmoodβs impressive spell included three powerplay wickets and a stingy final over that limited the West Indies to a below-par total.
England suddenly look like a different beast in the T20 format. Philip Salt has been consistently food for a while now. Then they also have Will Jacks, Jos Buttler, and Liam Livingstone in the batting unit. Jacob Bethell also impressed with his maiden T20I fifty and appears to be a solid presence in the middle.
Weather Conditions
The pitch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua is expected to be a relatively flat one, which should make life easier for top-order batsmen early on. With minimal swing and seam movement, theyβll have a great opportunity to score big during the powerplay. However, things might get tougher as the ball gets older. Bowlers can still make an impact with clever variations, like cutters and change-ups, while spinners will find plenty of turn throughout the match. And as the game wears on and the lights come on, the batting might get a bit easier.
The weather in Antigua will be mostly cloudy during the game. Some showers are expected in the morning, but the match should remain rain-free.
