Fantasy value from the pitch report

• Big hitters or impactful run scorers will be the best picks for this game. Go for batters who can be aggressive from the very beginning of their innings. 
• Hard-length bowlers, especially those who bowl in the death, will be good picks.

WI vs ENG Fantasy Cricket Tips

• Batters like Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran, Jos Buttler, and Jonny Bairstow will be crucial for this game. Keep all four or at least three of these batters in your fantasy XIs.
• While death over bowlers will be the safer choices for the game, Akeal Hosein and Adil Rashid could be your differential choices for the match.

WI vs ENG Winner Prediction

While West Indies have played great cricket and have found their way into this stage without losing a single game, England have struggled with their form and rhythm. The form, momentum and home advantage indicate that West Indies will be the favourites to win this match.

WI vs ENG Top Player Picks

Nicholas Pooran (WI)

• T20 World Cup Stats: 164 Runs in 4 Innings
• The West Indian batter looked in great touch in the last group-stage match against Afghanistan. Nicholas Pooran will be coming into this game with great form and will be looking to continue the momentum to give the West Indies an advantage in the game. 

Akeal Hosein (WI)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 9 Wickets in 4 Matches
• The left-arm orthodox bowler is a brilliantly efficient spinner for his team. Akeal Hosein has the ability to pick up wickets in the powerplay and in the middle overs. Given the form he is in, Hosein would be a safe choice for the fantasy contests of the match.

Jos Buttler (ENG)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 66 Runs in 3 Matches
• The English skipper started the tournament on a decent note. But Jos Buttler has failed to keep up the good work after that. However, the wicket at the Daren Sammy Stadium might work in his favour, and Buttler could pick up some important fantasy points.

WI vs ENG Differential Picks

Johnson Charles (WI)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 87 Runs in 4 Matches
• The West Indian batter has not yet looked at his best in the tournament. But in the last game on this same pitch, Johson Charles found a bit of rhythm. He will be looking to build on that and play a substantial knock in this game.

Jonny Bairstow (ENG)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 46 Runs in 3 Matches
• The English keeper batter has not yet found his best rhythm in the tournament. But with the ball coming on nicely to the bat on the St. Lucia pitch, Bairstow might prove to be dangerous.
