WI vs ENG 2nd T20I Preview: West Indies Looking To Level Things Up

In the first match, West Indies put up a decent total of 182/9 after being sent to bat. Nicholas Pooran led with 38, while Andre Russell, Romario Shepherd, and Gudakesh Motie chipped in with useful runs. However, top guns like Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Shimron Hetmyer, and Sherfane Rutherford had a rough day. 

Bowling wasn't much better – Akeal Hosein kept things tight, but Russell, Shamar Joseph, Motie, and Shepherd were costly. The Windies need both their batters and bowlers to step up if they want to keep the series alive.

England looked sharp in the opener, especially with the ball. Saqib Mahmood was on fire, picking up 4/34, while Adil Rashid backed him up with three wickets. Phil Salt stole the show with the bat, hammering a stunning 103 off just 54 balls with nine fours and six sixes. 

Jacob Bethell joined the party with an unbeaten 58 off 36, sealing an easy chase for England. They'll be definitely looking to seal the series with another strong performance.

WI vs ENG 2nd T20I Pitch Report: What To Expect From Kensington Oval’s Pitch?

Kensington Oval is known for being kind to batters, with an average first-innings score of 154. The pitch gives a bit of help to the pacers up front, but spinners need to slow it down for any impact. The last match here saw runs coming thick and fast and once again, the same will be on the cards. Out of 34 matches here, teams batting first have won 20 times. However, last night's game saw the wicket getting better as the game progressed, so expect the captain winning the toss to field first.
