windies vs eng Match Prediction & Analysis

West Indies look like a pale shadow of themselves in the T20Is after an excellent showing in the ODI series. They were bundled out for their lowest ever international total of just 45 runs in the second T20I match. Their batsmen are finding it hard to stand up against a spirited England bowling. Only two batsmen scored 10 runs will rest of them all scored just single digit scores. Nicholas Pooran has a lone fifty in the T20Is and there has no other real contribution from the rest. Sheldon Cotrell has been good with the ball and is getting breakthroughs early in the innings. Carlos Brathwaite and Fabien Allen provide good support to the bowling but runs has been leaking from the other bowlers. They failed to stop England after having them for 32/4 in power plays last match. 

England will be delighted to take home the T20I trophy and will look to whitewash West Indies to end the tour on a high. Joe Root`s composed 55 and Sam Billings’ counter attacking 87 took them to a commendable score of 182 runs after stuttering at 32/4 very early. With the series in hand, England will look to test their bench strength in this match. There bowlers made short work of West Indies by bowling them out for 45 runs. Chris Jordan captured 4 wickets in just the two overs bowled by them. David Willey, Adil Rashid and Liam Plunkett shared two wickets each. England bowlers have done well to restrict in West Indian power hitters in both the matches.
