ENG vs WI 3rd T20I match prediction [Source: @englandcricket/X.com]
England will host the West Indies in the 3rd and final T20I of the 3-game series on Tuesday, June 10. The match will be held at The Rose Bowl Stadium in Southampton from 11.00 PM IST.
England
The host team, England, have already secured the series with a 2-0 lead, following dominant performances in both games. Jos Buttler starred in the first T20I, while Luke Wood impressed in the second with figures of 2/25 on a flat Bristol pitch. Hence, the 3rd game is an opportunity for them to complete a whitewash.
West Indies
On the other hand, the West Indies have struggled across formats on this tour. Despite decent starts from batters like Johnson Charles and Shai Hope, they failed to capitalise. Their bowling has also been inconsistent, with Alzarri Joseph and Jason Holder proving expensive under pressure. This game is a chance for them to save their pride and bow out on a positive note.
The pitch at Southampton's Rose Bowl is a bit on the drier end, so it will slow up as the game wears on. Batting is generally easier in the first innings, with the ball coming onto the bat nicely.
But, in the second innings, the surface usually gets a better grip, which makes it challenging for stroke play. The ball usually sticks in the wicket and favors bowlers, particularly spinners, to use the turn and variable bounce. Teams winning the toss are likely to opt to bat first.
Players To Watch Out For In ENG vs WI 3rd T20I
England
Jos Buttler
Buttler has been in tremendous touch recently. After an excellent IPL 2025 season, he has taken his form to the series against West Indies as well, scoring 96 from 59 balls in the first T20I and then 47 from 36 in the second. As the leading run-scorer in the series so far, Buttler will look to end the series on a high.
Luke Wood
Left-arm seamer Luke Wood made an immediate impact in the second T20I, replacing Matthew Potts in the XI. He struck with the very first ball of the match, dismissing the dangerous Evin Lewis. His ability to swing the new ball makes him a serious threat on a surface like Southampton’s.
Ben Duckett
Ben Duckett could be a game-changer at the top of the order. His ability to take on both pace and spin from ball one makes him a valuable asset, especially on a slightly dry Southampton surface where timing will be key.
West Indies
Romario Shepherd
Romario Shepherd has quietly been one of the more effective bowlers for the West Indies in this T20I series. Across the first two matches, he has managed to claim 3 wickets. On a slightly drier Southampton pitch that may offer some grip, his cutters and back-of-the-length deliveries could be even more effective.
Rovman Powell
In his last 10 T20I matches, Powell has scored 268 runs at an average of 29.78 and a healthy strike rate of 138.86. With his power-hitting ability and composure under pressure, Powell might prove to be West Indies' trump card in the final T20I.
Akeal Hosein
In his previous 7 games, the left-arm spinner has taken 9 wickets with a notable economy rate of 6.22. His control and variations on dry surfaces, such as the one to be anticipated in Southampton, might spell serious trouble for England's batsmen.
