WI vs ENG 3rd ODI Preview: West Indies

After losing the ODI series in Sri Lanka last month, West Indies bounced back with an eight-wicket routing of England at home. However, a crushing defeat at the hands of the visitors a couple of days later once again hampered their momentum, thus signifying their inconsistent form in modern-day ODI routine. In a bid to clinch the series-decider against England, captain Shai Hope and belligerent ball-strikers Evin Lewis and Keacy Carty will once again be expected to come up clutch with the bat. Bowlers Matthew Forde and Gudakesh Motie will also be aiming to sustain their prolific wicket-taking spree.

WI vs ENG 3rd ODI Preview: England

The English cricket team has a point to prove ahead of the 2025 Champions Trophy, especially after getting humbled by Australia at home in September. In the absence of regular skipper Jos Buttler, England batters pulled off a 329-run chase against West Indies in Antigua to square their three-match series. Batters Phil Salt, Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran and captain Livingstone himself scored vital runs at blistering rates to help England’s cause.

England’s bowling department, however, continues to remain an area of concern. After getting belted all over the park by Australia, the English bowlers have also been leathered by West Indies so far in the ongoing series.

WI vs ENG 3rd ODI Pitch Report: How Will Kensington Oval Surface Behave?

The slower surface of the Kensington Oval tends to provide considerable assistance to fast bowlers and spinners. Batters often find it difficult to score freely, and the average first innings total at the venue amounts to just 226. The captain winning the toss will likely opt to field first, considering the chasing sides have won 28 of the 47 result-oriented matches here.
