West Indies’ final game of a disappointing England tour is all set to be played on Tuesday, June 10th. The visitors will be locking horns for one final time on this trip against the hosts, England, in the third T20I of the series to be played at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. Having lost the opening two T20Is, West Indies would be looking to end their havoc tour of England with a win in this third and final T20I. In this post, we have come up with free expert tips for the 3rd T20I, ENG vs WI at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.
Game 1 saw England beat the West Indies by 21 runs. The second game also witnessed the same story as the hosts tipped the visitors by 4 wickets while chasing a huge total of 196 runs. Having won both games quite comfortably in the end, makes the hosts, England, the utmost favorites to win this contest. West Indies, despite having nothing to lose now, will be on the back foot heading into the 3rd and final T20I in Southampton. Let’s continue with the post and find out the best cricket tips for the ENG vs WI, 3rd T20I match.
WI: 42% win chance ENG: 58% win chance
The veteran English batter Jos Buttler is the man in form for England. Having scored 143 runs in just two innings, Buttler remains the lynchpin of the English batting order.
Jamie Smith hasn't been at his best in the two innings so far. He has scored only 42 runs in the two games but we are taking him as a high-risk bet in this game.
West Indies left-hander Sherfane Rutherford is known for his long levers and is solid against both spinners and seamers. Expect him to be among runs in this match.
English skipper Harry Brook has only scored 40 runs in the two innings so far. He is a much better batter than what his numbers display in this series. We are backing him to score big in this match batting at no 4.
Check out our prediction for the ENG vs WI 3rd T20I match.
A new look English side, under the leadership of young batter Harry Brook, has looked tormenting. Despite many big names and regular faces in the T20I setup missing out from the English side, the team has looked relentless and hasn’t given West Indies any room whatsoever to capitalize throughout the ODI series and now in the T20Is as well.
Jos Buttler has been a dominant force in the batting lineup so far. The likes of Tom Banton, Harry Brook, and Ben Duckett have pitched in with some contributions. On the bowling front, Adil Rashid is the most experienced bowler in the lineup, but the rest of the bowlers, especially the seamers, have done a terrific job in containing the hard-hitting West Indies batting lineup.
Heading into this contest, the hosts will look to test their bench and give the opportunity to guys who haven’t gotten much of a go throughout the series. With the series already in their kitty, England will eye a 3-0 win and send the West Indies packing without a single win on the tour.
Despite putting up a squad tailor-made for hard-hitting, the West Indies has completely perished on the tour of England. Be it the ODIs or the T20Is, West Indies have looked complacent in their approach. A lot has to be blamed on their bowling unit, which has lacked confidence and experience in the English conditions.
In the seam-bowling-friendly conditions of England, only two regular bowlers, Alzarri Joseph and Jason Holder, raise a question mark on their selection panel. Playing two spinners in Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie on a surface that doesn’t assist spinners at all in the last game is another example of West Indies’ incapability of adjusting to the conditions.
With Matthew Forde waiting in the ranks, West Indies should opt for a more regular seam bowling option that can give the likes of Andre Russell or Romario Shepherd, who have been chipping in with an over or two, a breather. Dropping one spinner out of the two can be an option West Indies could look forward to in the third T20I.
Matches Played: 37 WI won: 18 ENG won: 18 No Result: 1
After two wins on the trot in this series, the hosts, England, have equalized in the head-to-head battle of the two sides. Both teams have now won 18 games apiece out of 37, and one match between the two was washed out due to rain.
