How Will The Kensington Oval, Barbados’s Pitch Behave?

The pitch at the Kensington Oval in Barbados is expected to be a balanced surface. The bounce of the wicket will help the batters to play their shots freely. On the other hand, the bowlers who generally bowl hard length and look to vary their pace and length in between might enjoy the surface, too.

Players To Watch Out For In WI vs ENG

West Indies

Nicholas Pooran

The West Indian keeper batter can be a very dangerous customer if he finds his rhythm. After a sluggish show by his standards, Nicholas Pooran is keen to play a role in this match. 

Romario Shepherd

The West Indian all-rounder looked good with the bat in the last match. Besides his big-hitting abilities, Romario Shepherd can also be handy with the ball in the death phase of an innings.

Gudakesh Motie

The left-arm spinner is known for his efficient spells in T20 cricket. However, in the last match, Gudakesh Motie showed that he can be very handy with the bat, too.

England

Phil Salt

With the brilliant Hundred in the last match, Phil Salt has announced himself in the T20I series. He has the momentum with him and can once again be the key player for England in this game.

Jacob Bethell

The English all-rounder played brilliantly with the bat in the last match. Jacob Bethell can also contribute with the ball and could hence be a very effective player in the match.

Adil Rashid

The leg-spinner can be a crucial part of England’s performance in the match. Adil Rashid is an effective bowler in the middle overs and also has the form with him from the last match.
