WI vs ENG 2nd T20I: Team Previews

West Indies

West Indies continued their winning momentum and produced a solid show against England in the 1st T20I. The bowlers in particular led from the front, and then the batters finished the job. Windies would be mighty pleased with the comeback of all-rounder Andre Russell, who

 owned England with both bat and ball. Alzarri Joseph and Romario Shepherd's form will add confidence to the side, which is currently seeing their best players like Jason Holder, Shimron Hetmyer, and Nicholas Pooran struggle. Kyle Mayers and Brandon King need to convert their starts into big runs, which has been the case since ODIs.

England

Much like the ODI, England starts the T20Is with a loss, which will add that fire under their players' bellies moving ahead. The current 20-overs world champions have been inconsistent across departments, which has led to their downfall in the past few series.

Almost all England batters got beginnings but were not able to score big runs, which is crucial against a power-house-like side. The likes of Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, and Will Jacks need to take charge in the middle-order, and not leave much for lower batters like Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran.

Adil Rashid and Rehan Ahmed remain England's most potent bowlers on this tour thus far, with the pacers leaking runs.

A batting surface awaits both teams at the National Cricket Stadium in St George's, which has a history of producing high-scoring matches. However, as the match progresses the track tends to slow down slightly, which makes batting first the best prospect for teams.
