West Indies vs Australia TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. WI vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis For the first time in seven years, Australia will walk out for a Test match without either Steve Smith or Marnus Labuschagne in the playing XI. This will mark the return of the Aussie side to the Caribbean after a gap of 10 years. As the team travels to the Caribbean, the spotlight shifts to a younger generation tasked with continuing Australia’s dominance over the West Indies — a rivalry they have not lost since 1990. Marnus Labuschagne has been left out of the squad for the first Test against West Indies, while Steve Smith will miss the match due to injury. In their absence, Sam Konstas and Josh Inglis have been named in the playing XI. On the bowling front, Brendan Doggett has been ruled out of the series with a hip injury, paving the way for Sean Abbott to join the squad as cover. Australia has recently lost the Test Championship final against South Africa by 7 wickets.  On the other hand, the hosts have left out Kemar Roach from the squad for the upcoming home Test series against Australia. In a bid to bolster their batting, the selectors have recalled Shai Hope and John Campbell. The team also features two uncapped players — Brandon King and Kevlon Anderson — both receiving their maiden Test call-ups. Young pacer Johann Layne is the new addition to the bowling unit, while Anderson Phillip retains his place. Layne, a 21-year-old fast-bowling allrounder from Barbados, has earned a place in the 16-man squad after an impressive run in domestic cricket, claiming 63 wickets in just 17 first-class matches. Both teams last played a Test match against each other in 2024 at the Gabba in Brisbane. A match that West Indies will always remember! West Indies batted first to score 311 runs in the first innings, with three of their players scoring half-centuries. In return, Aussie skipper Pat Cummins took a surprising decision to declare the innings on 289 for the loss of 8 wickets, which gave West Indies a 22-run lead. Australia managed to bowl out West Indies for 193 runs in return, with Hazelwood and Lyon claiming 3 wickets each. What happened next was completely out of the syllabus. Shamar Joseph picked up 7 wickets for 68 runs while limping to register West Indies’ first test win over Australia after a gap of 20 years by just 8 runs. Steven Smith, who opened the innings, remained unbeaten on 91, looking at his teammates falling at regular intervals. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview It’s been six months since the West Indies played their last test. With Roston Chase taking over the captaincy from Kraigg Brathwaite, he will have a huge task on his shoulders to make the impossible possible. Kraigg Brathwaite will open the innings with Mikyle Louis. Brathwaite has 442 runs in the last 10 tests at an average of 22. Against Australia, he averages a little better (25) with a century in 12 tests. Louis is still new to the test setup and has 358 runs in 18 innings so far. Returning Shai Hope will take the number three place. Hope averages 17 against Australia with the bat. John Campbell is back in the squad after serving a doping ban. With the experience of 20 Tests, Campbell averages 26 while scoring 888 runs. He might come in the middle with Brandon King. Selector Darren Sammy spoke highly of him in the press conference. He might get a chance to play eleven. Skipper Roston Chase will come at number six. Chase has 115 runs with the bat against Australia in 2 tests. He has 4 centuries and 4 half-centuries at home with an average of 35.  Jayden Seals will lead the bowling attack with Chase’s deputy Jomel Warrican. Seals has 38 wickets in the last 8 tests. This includes the test against Bangladesh, where he picked up 4 wickets with an economy of 0.31. Jomel Warrican will be the bowler to watch out for. He has 28 wickets in 4 tests. Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph will conclude the West Indies team. Shamar’s seven wickets in the last test against Australia handed WI a victory in the tests after a gap of 20 years. Australia Preview The drop in the average has left Marnus Labuschagne out of the squad. He opened the innings in the Test Championship final. In his absence, Sam Konstas will open the innings with Usman Khwaja. Konstas is set to make his third Test appearance, returning to the side after his two-match stint against India, where he made an impressive debut with a fluent 60 off 65 balls at the MCG. Khwaja has 517 runs against the West Indies in 6 tests at an average of 58. He is averaging 62 this year. He will be the batter to watch out for. Josh Inglis will come at number three. Inglis scored a century on his Test debut against Sri Lanka in Galle earlier this year.  Cameroon Green will come in the middle with Travis Head, Beau Webster, and Alex Carey. Green made a comeback in the WTC final. Head averages 87 against the West Indies in 4 tests. This includes two centuries, with a career-best 175 runs. Webster scored 72 runs in the WTC Finals’ first innings. He has 231 runs with the bat and three wickets with the ball in 4 tests. Carrey has 131 runs in 4 tests against the West Indies. He is averaging over 72 this year. Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Matthew Kuhnemann, and Josh Hazlewood will lead the bowling attack. Starc has 34 wickets in the last 8 tests. Against…

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​Ireland vs West Indies 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 15,Sunday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Bready Cricket Club, Magheramason, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20 2025 Will we at least get one ball in the third and final T20I between Ireland and West Indies? Scotland vs Netherlands TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IRE vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis For players, supporters, officials and administrators alike, this has been a very frustrating series between Ireland and West Indies! Due to the weather in County Antrim, we are yet to see one delivery from either team and it was a grey and miserable scene in Bready which accompanied the players to the ground on Saturday. According to the weather forecast, there will be similar conditions in Bready on Sunday with the only question mark being whether or not the anticipated rain will stop for long enough to allow at the very least a shortened game. For Ireland, this provides them with a one-off fixture where they can inflict a series defeat on West Indies whereas the tourists can still return home after this match with a series victory after a very disappointing trip to Ireland the UK over the last few weeks. TEAMS PREVIEW Ireland Preview Ireland won the opening ODI between the sides last month before the second game was abandoned and the third saw West Indies level the series. After that experience of losing the crucial final game, captain Paul Stirling will be hoping his side have the mental ability to focus ahead of this clash and the desire to secure a rare series win over West Indies. If Ireland are to get the victory in Bready on Sunday, then there is every chance that it could be a reduced overs game so the experience within the squad of playing T10 cricket is likely to be critical! That means opener and captain Paul Stirling will have an important role to play, as will keeper-batter Lorcan Tucker at number three and Harry Tector in the middle order. George Dockrell could be pushed up the batting order while experienced pair, Mark Adair and Barry McCarthy will be the most important players with the ball in hand. West Indies Preview After losing all six of their ODIs and T20Is in England and Wales, not to mention winning just one of the three ODIs in Ireland prior to that series, it has been a tour to forget for West Indies. They were also rocked by the international retirement of former skipper Nicholas Pooran just a week ago and a series loss in Ireland would complete a torrid month or so for the Men in Maroon! That said, defeat is not guaranteed and they still have plenty of quality in this side. The top four of Evin Lewis, Johnson Charles, captain Shai Hope and Keacy Carty should be able to get on top of a weak Irish bowling attack. And with the ball, Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph and Akeal Hosein have enough experience and quality to be able to trouble Ireland’s batters across their order. Weather Conditions Unfortunately there is going to be a chance of rain throughout Sunday’s final T20I in Bready. It will be humid and cloudy throughout with the temperature in the high teens. IRE vs WI Pitch Report Usually this ground delivers high-scoring contests but after the recent rain the outfield will be slow and the pitch is likely to assist the bowlers. Therefore, we predict a par score of no higher than 165 in the first innings on Sunday. Toss: To Bowl This is going to be a lively pitch in Bready, due to the amount of rain that has been falling, and so we expect both skippers to want to bowl first ahead of this match.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​Ireland vs West Indies ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 12,Thursday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Bready Cricket Club, Magheramason, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 After a thrashing in England, West Indies return to Ireland! Ireland vs West Indies TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IRE vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis A few decades ago, the thought of West Indies touring Ireland for a cricket series would have been frowned upon such was the strength of the Men in Maroon and the comparative weakness of Irish cricket. But fast-forward to 2025 and it is certainly fair to say that the teams are now a lot better matched. This is best shown from the three-match ODI series between Ireland and West Indies last month which finished in a 1-1 draw!  Since then, Ireland have been working on their shorter-format skills while West Indies have been to England and return after losing an ODI series 3-0 and the T20Is by the same margin. As a result, plenty of pundits are expecting a closely contested series, starting with this opening T20I in Bready on Thursday afternoon. TEAMS PREVIEW Ireland Preview Just as was the case during the three-match ODI series, Ireland will not be at full strength for these three T20Is as Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany and Craig Young have all been ruled out with injuries. In their place will come Stephen Doheny and Gavin Hoey, while Tim Tector, who did play in Ireland’s last T20I, has rejoined the squad after initially not making the group. As ever, this Irish team has plenty of experienced players who have been there and done it at the top level of international cricket. That includes skipper Paul Stirling, keeper-batter Lorcan Tucker and left-arm pacer Josh Little, all three of who will come into this game expecting to go 1-0 up in the series. West Indies Preview Confidence will not be overly high in the away dressing room ahead of this opening game of the series, particularly as West Indies were beaten for the sixth game out of six during their tour of the UK, ending with a 37 run loss in Southampton on Tuesday. But despite the poor team returns, there was a return to form for skipper Shai Hope (45 runs from 27 balls) and former captain Rovman Powell who thrashed 79 unbeaten runs from 45 balls. West Indies may have to consider the future of Sherfane Rutherford in this side after he made another single-figure score in Southampton but he will probably be given a final chance on this tour. With the ball, Alzarri Joseph was West Indies’ most consistent bowler during the six matches in England and the spin duo of Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie are both likely to be threats once again. Weather Conditions We can expect wall to wall overcast conditions across the afternoon in Bready with a constant threat of rain. It will be very humid but there is a chance that no rain will fall at all. IRE vs WI Pitch Report There has never been a T20I score of 180 at this venue and although batting sides have been on top, the surface can be a little unpredictable. We expect a par score of around 175-185 in Thursday’s opening game of the series. Toss: To Bat The last three T20Is in Bready, all of which have taken place since the start of 2021, have been won by the team batting first. Therefore, we predict that both skippers will want to bat first ahead of this game.

‘More will follow. It’s out of our control’: WI coach Darren Sammy expects more abrupt retirements like Nicholas Pooran | Cricket News

West Indies coach Daren Sammy voiced concerns over Nicholas Pooran’s premature international retirement, hinting at a potential trend due to T20 franchise cricket’s allure. Sammy emphasised the significance of national pride and fan loyalty, recalling West Indies’ rich cricket heritage. In Pooran’s absence, the team faced defeats in England, exposing bowling frailties. West Indies cricket coach Daren Sammy addressed Nicholas Pooran’s unexpected retirement from international cricket at age 29, expressing concern about keeping players motivated to represent their nation while predicting more early retirements to follow. Pooran, West Indies’ all-time leading T20I run-scorer, announced his retirement eight months before the T20 World Cup, despite his successful career in franchise cricket.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!Sammy revealed he had anticipated Pooran’s decision before the official announcement, having had prior conversations with both the player and his agent.“My instincts told me something like that would happen,” Sammy said on Tuesday night, after West Indies’ sixth consecutive defeat on their white-ball tour to England. “Nicholas sent me a text message, and so did I have a conversation with his agent as well… When we first spoke about the UK tour and the conversation I had with him, I did ask him, ‘Are you unavailable for the UK tour only, or indefinite?’ And from that response, I just knew I had to start preparing for the worst case.“Pooran’s international career notably never included Test cricket, with his last ODI appearance coming two years ago.Sammy shared his perspective on team pride during a pre-match meeting in Southampton, emphasising the historical significance of representing West Indies. It is up to each player to go out and put in that type of passion out there. I could only speak about it, but I can’t force anybody to do it Darren Sammy “Surprised? No, I’m not surprised,” Sammy said. “I said something to the guys in the team meeting today: we don’t have control. It’s up to each individual. I made my debut in 2004 right at this ground, and I see here today in the stands the same people from 2004 – 21 years ago – the same fans: loyal, coming, bringing food, and everything they’ve been doing that way before I started, for Sir Viv [Richards] and these guys.”Sammy continued his reflection on the passionate West Indies fan base and cricket heritage. ‘Cricketers Aren’t Cattle… ‘: Harish Thawani on the IPL and Business of Indian Cricket “The passion they have travelling from London, all over, coming to watch us playing – not because we are great, [but] because of the love they have for the game and for West Indies cricket; what it meant to them when West Indies came here back in the 80s with Sir Viv and Clive [Lloyd], and they won games; the feeling it gave them during that era, walking down the streets, going to work the following day.”The coach acknowledged the personal nature of such career decisions while stressing on team values. You saw everybody talk about Heinrich Klaasen, Quinton de Kock, these guys who’ve retired. It’s out of our control Darren Sammy “It is up to us, each individual, to understand what the brand and the crest means, and come out and play a brand that those people come and travel three hours to watch you play because of what the crest means to them. It is up to each player to go out and put in that type of passion out there. I could only speak about it, but I can’t force anybody to do it, just like I can’t tell anybody when to call time on their career.”Sammy predicted similar retirement decisions from other players, citing recent examples from South African cricket.“I’m pretty sure more will follow in that mood, in that direction,” Sammy said. “That’s the way T20 cricket is now, and especially coming from the West Indies, with the challenges that we face trying to keep our players motivated to play for the crest, so I wouldn’t be surprised. You saw everybody talk about Heinrich Klaasen, Quinton de Kock, these guys who’ve retired. It’s out of our control.”The West Indies team struggled in England without Pooran, losing both ODI and T20I series 3-0, before heading to Ireland for upcoming T20I matches. Poll Do you think more West Indies players will retire early like Pooran? Sammy expressed particular concern about the team’s bowling performance, after conceding 628 runs in 58.3 overs during the T20I series, including 248 runs in Southampton.“It’s a question of skills,” Sammy said. “When being put under pressure, do we have the skillset to be disciplined with our plans? Do we back our ability long enough? Especially from a bowling point of view, we’ve been trying to search: how do we restrict things when they put us under the pump? […] It’s a conversation with a World Cup in less than eight months: how do we get our bowling right?”Sammy remained optimistic about the team’s batting prospects while acknowledging defensive challenges.“I think the batting will be more consistent. They have been over the last two years, but we can’t keep asking our batters to chase down high-200s, and then when we set 190 or 200, our bowling has yet to defend it. But I’m a very positive guy… We have enough time and games to put a combination together that could help us be successful.”

‘This was very difficult, but …’: Nicholas Pooran retires from international cricket at 29, leaves behind a maroon legacy | Cricket News

Nicholas Pooran (Pic credit: Cricket West Indies) NEW DELHI: Nicholas Pooran, one of West Indies’ most explosive and dependable white-ball cricketers of the modern era, announced his retirement from international cricket on Monday at the age of 29. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!The left-handed batter, who holds the record for most T20I runs and appearances for West Indies, confirmed the decision via an emotional Instagram post. Along with the post, he mentioned that it was very difficult, but he had thought long and hard before coming to this decision. Poll What is your opinion on Nicholas Pooran’s decision to retire at 29? “Wearing that maroon, standing for the anthem, and giving everything I had each time I stepped on the field… it’s hard to put into words what that truly means to me,” Pooran wrote. “To have led the team as captain is a privilege I will always hold close to my heart.” Pooran’s career was marked by highs, including his rise to become the team’s all-time leading scorer in T20Is, as well as a few lows — notably his brief suspension in 2019 for ball-tampering against Afghanistan. He bounced back swiftly and went on to captain the team during Kieron Pollard’s absence, leading West Indies to a 4-1 series victory over Australia. He was later named permanent white-ball captain in 2022, though he stepped down following a disappointing T20 World Cup exit in Australia. In 106 T20Is, Pooran amassed 2,275 runs at a strike rate that made him a constant threat. He also featured in 61 ODIs, scoring three centuries and representing West Indies in the 2019 World Cup.Cricket West Indies hailed him as a “game-changer” and thanked him for his “outstanding contributions” to the game and the team.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​England vs West Indies​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 10,Tuesday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 23:00 PM IST​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ The Rose Bowl, United Kingdom, United Kingdom​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20 2025 West Indies end their tour of the UK and are still looking to secure a victory! England vs West Indies TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ENG vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis After home wins in Chester-le-Street and Bristol, the three-match T20I series between England and West Indies comes to a close on the south coast at the Rose Bowl on Tuesday evening. Sunday’s second T20I saw England triumph in the westcountry, beating the Men in Maroon by four wickets in a quirky contest which now holds the record for the highest number of runs in a T20I without any batter making a half-century! West Indies will travel back to Ireland after this game to finish this tour with three further T20Is but leaving England without a victory is something which Shai Hope’s side will be determined not to happen. And this contest at Hampshire’s home ground could be the game to finally record a win as England have been beaten in each of the last three T20Is at the Rose Bowl. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview There was one change to the England XI from the opening game of the series in the north east as left-arm pacer Luke Wood made a return to international cricket after nearly a two year absence and took the place of Matthew Potts who debuted in the format in Chester-le-Street. And it would be a huge surprise to see Wood lose his place for this game after he took a wicket with the first ball of the game in Bristol and finished with figures of 2/25 on his way to the Player of the Match Award. Adil Rashid picked up another wicket in Sunday’s game but also conceded 31 runs from one over, the second highest number ever leaked by an English player in a T20I, and he needs only two dismissals to go joint-top as his country’s top wicket taker at the Rose Bowl in this format. With the bat, England continue to go for their shots throughout the innings and Jos Buttler will be looking to finish as their highest run scorer for the third game in a row. West Indies Preview West Indies posted 196/6 in the first innings of the game in Bristol but it was still not enough to end their losing streak on the British Isles and they must now win in Southampton or will leave the UK with six successive defeats! If they are to get a victory to end this leg of the tour, it might be worth pushing the likes of Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd and Jason Holder, all who batted aggressively at the end the innings, up the order with Sherfane Rutherford who is out of form dropping down. Captain Shai Hope top scored in Bristol and opener Johnson Charles comes into this game after an impressive 47 runs from 39 balls. With the ball, Alzarri Joseph continues to lead the attack and always looks like picking up a wicket. Akeal Hosein and Jason Holder also impressed with economy rates under 9.00 in Bristol and will look to build pressure. Weather Conditions The weather forecast is for humid conditions throughout Tuesday afternoon and evening with a chance of rain at the toss and during the opening overs. The temperature will be over 20 degrees for the majority of the game. ENG vs WI Pitch Report The Rose Bowl is an excellent venue for international cricket and with only two team totals of 200+ across 12 T20Is, there is usually an excellent battle between bat and ball. A par total for the team batting first will be around 185-190. Toss: To Bat Each of the last three T20Is at the Rose Bowl have been won by the teams batting first and so we expect both captains to go out for the toss intending to bat first in this game.

ENG vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis It is the second game in the three-match T20i series where England will aim for a series win as they take on the West Indies. England performed clinically in the opening game, defeating the visitors by 21 runs. They will look to build on the momentum. The West Indies must win this game to keep hopes alive in what is turning out to be a tough tour for them.   England has a strong batting lineup and enjoys a good record against the West Indies. The players know the conditions well at this venue and shall look to take full advantage of it. The West Indies have won only once in the last nine games, and their players struggle with form. It will be interesting to see if West Indies can turn it around in this game. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview Harry Brook will be confident after the team’s strong show in the last game. They put a big score on the board and kept the pressure on the visitors throughout with tight bowling. The side has been enjoying a good run at home in the last 12 months, and they will aim for another series win with a good performance.   Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett are aggressive players, and the team expects them to make a strong start. Jos Buttler missed a well-deserved hundred in the last game and will look to add runs in the middle order with Harry Brook and Tom Banton. Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks, and Liam Dawson complete a strong batting lineup for the team.   The bowling attack will be confident after the good show in the last game. The side will need Liam Dawson and Brydon Carse to deliver early blows as they did in the last game. Adil Rashid has bowled well and will look to keep a check on the scoring rate with Will Jacks. Matthew Potts and Jacob Bethell add variety to the attack.  West Indies Preview Shai Hope and his team will be very worried. Despite having some of the best players in this format, the side has had extended losses. They failed to pace their run chase well in the last game and shall look to learn from their mistakes. Shai Hope must lead from the front in this game to win and take the series to the third game.   Evin Lewis and Johnson Charles delivered a decent start in the last game, and the team expects runs from them. The middle order failed in the last game, along with the trio of Shai Hope, Roston Chase, and Sherfane Rutherford. Rovman Powell and Andre Russell are powerful strikers, and the team expects quick runs.   The bowling attack looked scratchy in the last game, and the team needs tight spells from Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd. Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie are key bowlers in the team and must do well in the middle overs. Roston Chase and Russell must bowl tight spells in the supporting roles as the English batters will go after them.   Weather Conditions There will be cloud cover over Bristol. It will be challenging for the batsmen here, and fast bowlers will do well. The average first-innings score is around 163 runs, and the side that bats first would like 190 runs on the board. ENG vs WI Pitch Report The Bristol County Ground is a typical English venue with assistance on the track for the fast bowlers. It is one of the smaller venues in the country, and batters have lots of opportunities to score runs. The surface’s true nature allows the batters to commit to the front foot and play their strokes. Toss: To Bowl The batting conditions shall be challenging early in the game. The ball will move off the surface, and fast bowlers will do well. Hence, the side winning the toss here shouldn’t hesitate to bowl first.

England vs West Indies TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ENG vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis The ODI series between England and West Indies was pretty one-sided with England really pushed in only one of the three games but the tourists will hope that some experienced additions to their squad can make themselves more competitive in these three T20Is. Overall it has been a disappointing tour of Ireland and England for the ‘Men in Maroon’ who have won only one and lost four matches across the six scheduled games. After ending the ODIs in the hustle and bustle of London, most apparent to the players after they were caught up in traffic en route to the ground and the start was delayed, this T20I series begins in Chester-le-Street, the venue where West Indies beat England when they last played a match in this format in this country. England were excellent with bat and ball in the ODIs and Harry Brook will be looking for more of the same from his side in this opening game. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview After brushing aside the West Indies in Birmingham, Cardiff and London, Harry Brook will be looking to show the cricket loving folk of Durham that he is turning around the fortunes of England’s T20 side as well in this game. The right-handed Yorkshireman has been in excellent form since taking on the captaincy and he will be hoping to continue that form in this game. Although if he doesn’t the return of IPL winning batter Phil Salt, who enjoys a brilliant head to head record against West Indies, should provide a big boost for the hosts who have a very long batting line-up. With the ball, Liam Dawson is back in the squad and we expect him to team up with Rehan Ahmed in a new-look English spin pairing.  West Indies Preview Overall it has been a very disappointing tour for West Indies who have won only one of their five completed matches since touching down on Irish and English soil over the last few weeks. The switch to T20 cricket should provide them with an opportunity to find a winning formula tough and the return of experienced players like Andre Russell and Jason Holder should give the side a much needed boost of class. Romario Shepherd is another excellent addition, he comes straight from winning the IPL with RCB, and Rovman Powell provides plenty of powerful middle and lower-order hitting. With the ball, Alzarri Joseph, spinner Gudakesh Motie and Matthew Forde will be crucial for the tourists. West Indies Predicted Playing XI: Shai Hope (c), Brandon King, Johnson Charles (wk), Rovman Powell Sherfane Rutherford, Jason Holder, Andre Russell, Romario Shepherd, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph Weather Conditions It is very rarely warm in Durham and the temperature is likely to drop from 16 degrees at the toss to a cool 12 degrees by the end of the game. No rain, but plenty of cloud cover is forecast. ENG vs WI Pitch Report This looks like being a typical pitch at the Riverside Ground which means something off the surface and through the air for the pace bowlers. A par score will be in the region of around 180-190. Toss: To Bowl Recent T20 games, and the last T20I, were won by the team fielding first and so we predict that both captains will go out for the toss planning to bowl first ahead of this game.

England vs West Indies, ENG vs WI 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ England vs West Indies​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 03,Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ The Oval, United Kingdom, United Kingdom𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODI 2025 A Clean Sweep Is In Sight For Brook’s England! England vs West Indies​ TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ENG vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis After the opening game of the series was won at a canter by England in Nottingham, the series really came to life in Wales as West Indies turned up and made a real game of it! Unfortunately for the neutrals, England were still able to win, getting over the line by three wickets with seven balls remaining, but it required one of the great ODI innings from Joe Root for the hosts to secure victory and to take an unassailable 2-0 lead. And so the three game series comes to a close in South London on Tuesday where the weather forecast is far from clear and sunny! But there should be plenty of available time for both teams to bat and for a result to come about. The question is, can England win again to secure a 3-0 clean-sweep or will West Indies respond with a final game victory? TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview After such an easy win at Trent Bridge to begin the series, England were tested a lot more with both bat and ball in the second ODI at Sophia Gardens but still managed to come out on top. No doubt this will fill Brendan McCullum’s side with plenty of confidence ahead of this final match where they will be targeting a 3-0 series win. We expect England to name an unchanged XI for this game with Matthew Potts continuing in place of Jamie Overton who was ruled out of the series ahead of the second game through injury. Adil Rashid brings figures of 4/63 and Saqib Mahmood 3/37 from the Cardiff game and the bowling attack looks strong and varied. With the bat, Joe Root was at his world-class best once again in the last game and he showed that England can still win even when their two openers, Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett, not to mention keeper-batter Jos Buttler, all record ducks. West Indies Preview West Indies produced a much more polished and professional performance in Cardiff and although they once again were beaten by England, they should still take some self-belief into this final match in South London. The Kennington Oval is a venue where West Indies have had success over the years and they do at least have some players in form following the second ODI. In order to go to the next level and to secure a win, they need the likes of Brandon King to kick on from his 59 in Wales, captain Shai Hope to go bigger than his 78 and for Keacy Carty to make it four centuries from his last five ODIs! With the ball, the Men in Maroon caused England plenty of problems on Sunday, reducing them to 1/1, 2/2 and 133/5 at one stage. We can expect Alzarri Joseph, who already has six wickets in the series, to be the main danger. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, it will be cloudy and humid throughout this match at the Oval. The temperature will rise from 14 to 16 degrees across the afternoon and there will always be a slight chance of rain. ENG vs WI Pitch Report The Kennington Oval is always a fast track with plenty of bounce for the stroke-makers to enjoy. The spinners should also make use of the bounce but do not expect a great deal of turn to be on offer on a cool and humid afternoon. Toss: To Bowl The conditions are likely to be bowler friendly throuhgout the day in South London but the pitch is likely to be at its liveliest in the early overs of the game. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to bowl first.
