The stage is set for the decider of the three-match ODI series between West Indies and England. The Windies won the opening game of the series comfortably while England managed to get the better of the home side in the second match on the back of a brilliant unbeaten century by Liam Livingstone. So, the final game is expected to be a cracker with both teams looking to grab a series win at the Kensington Oval, Barbados.

England are being led by Liam Livingstone in this series in the absence of some of their star players. He has done a brilliant job so far, leading from the front with his performances with bat and ball, and England fans would be hoping that he comes up with another special performance. The likes of Phil Salt, Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran all scored runs in the second game, but Will Jacks and Jordan Cox have not been able to put up a decent score.

Reece Topley Set To Play First Game Of Series

There is an option of bringing in Michael Pepper in the place of one of the two batters, but it is highly unlikely that England management will tinker with their batting department in a decider. Also, both Will Jacks and Jordan Cox are quality players who have shown their class in the past and expect them to play the third ODI as well. On the bowling front, Reece Topley may finally get a game in place of Saqib Mahmood who went wicketless in the second game. Rest of the bowling attack is likely to remain the same with Jofra Archer leading the pace attack.
