England will now host West Indies in the third ODI of their three-match series at The Oval in London on Tuesday, June 3. The hosts, under the leadership of Harry Brook, won the first two ODIs to seal the series by a game to spare.

England

England blanked West Indies by 238 runs in the first ODI in Edgbaston to take a 1-0 lead in the series. The Englishmen also clinched the second ODI by pulling off a 309-run chase while riding high on Joe Root’s splendid unbeaten century. Another win for England will hand newly-appointed skipper Harry Brook a rare series whitewash on maiden captaincy gig.

West Indies

West Indies bowling continues to remain an area of concern for the visitors. Earlier in May, the West Indies team racked up some big totals, but failed to register a series win against Ireland in Dublin. Even in the ongoing series against England, West Indies bowlers have conceded totals in excess of 300 or more in both games. The Shai Hope-led team need to win the impending third ODI to avoid a series whitewash.

How Will The Kennington Oval Pitch Behave?

The surface at the Kennington Oval in London seems to be a favourable one for batters. The average first innings total at the venue in the last five ODI matches has turned out to be 282. Fast bowlers will be required to make an early impact with the new ball before allowing batters to settle themselves at the crease. Since May 2019, the teams batting first have won five out of the eight men’s ODIs played here.
