WI vs ENG Preview

West Indies started the white-ball leg of their tour with a bang, defeating the visitors by four wickets in Antigua.

Meanwhile, England are one of the top teams in this format, with players like Jos Buttler and Harry Brook in the squad. Despite some inconsistency since the 2023 World Cup and the absence of a few key players, they are still capable of mounting impressive damage against the West Indies.
