ENG vs WI Dream11 Grand League Team | Windies vs England 1st T20I

After an eventful Test and ODI series, Windies and England square off in a three-match Twenty 20 series. The hosts are most confident in the shortest format of the game and with their batsmen in the groove, they start as favourites.

Gayle Force can hurt tourists again

The biggest highlight of the ODI series that ended at an even 2-2 was Chris Gayle’s mayhem. The Universe Boss decimated the bowling attack of top-ranked ODI side and forces the issue once again. To add to that, the hosts will welcome the big-hitting all-rounder Andre Russell back in the ranks.

England, on the other hand, have given rest to the likes of Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali, plus Jason Roy has flown back for the birth of his child. The onus will be on Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan and Adil Rashid to get England in the contest.
