ENG vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis
Two time T20 World Cup champions each, West Indies and England, lock horns in one of the most awaited matches of the Super 8s stage. Both teams come into the fresh round with contrasting form – the undefeated Windies enter with their confidence soaring hoping to build on their success, while England try to readjust after barely scraping through the group stages.
The West Indies are clearly in the lead on the overall head to head, with the men in maroon coming out on top in 17 games and the English lads walking away with a victory on 12 occasions. But, in ICC tournaments, i.e. in world cup editions, West Indies have dictated with 5 wins and 1 loss in six meetings so far.
Their first loss to England came as recently as October 2021, when a strong English unit led by Jos Buttler skittled out a West Indies side on the wane for 55 in Dubai and cantered to victory. But, this West Indies is as powerful and dominant as it has ever been, and will be fancying a victory to start off its Super 8.

TEAMS PREVIEW
England Preview
England haven't been at their best, but they have the firepower to challenge any team. They’ve plenty of dynamic batsmen in their lineup, starting with the incendiary pair of Jos Buttler and Phil Salt up top, Johnny Bairstow and Harry Brook through the middle, and Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone (if fit) to finish with a flourish. Each of these players is a match-winner in their own right and can have a huge impact with the bat in hand in any phase of the game.
They couldn’t quite pull things together against arch-rivals Australia but they made amends for it in the next two games crushing Oman and Namibia to progress through to the next stage. England batsmen will be hoping to replicate their powerplay dominance against Oman and blistering lower order blitz against Namibia
England’s bowling attack looks well-drilled at the moment, with experienced pacers Jofra Archer and Mark Wood bringing raw pace and Reece Topley offering movement and bounce with the new ball. However, their inconsistency and struggles against top-class batting lineups raise concerns. That said, containing the Windies' batting might hinge on the control of Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali.
Overall, it’s a varied attack with a left arm seamer who extracts extra bounce off the deck, two right arm pacers that get the ball to skid through, a crafty leg spinner, and a handy off spinner.
England Predicted Playing XI:
Philip Salt, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Mark Wood, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley.

West Indies Preview
On the back of an unbeaten group stage performance, the West Indies come into the Super 8s high on confidence. The Windies have been a force to be reckoned with throughout the tournament, and they'll be looking to leverage the home crowd advantage at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium. They boast a powerful batting lineup and a potent bowling attack.
Their batting has been a masterclass in power-hitting, with the likes of Nicholas Pooran, who currently leads the tournament in sixes, leading the charge. The southpaw was in red-hot form against Afghanistan, helping Windies put on board a record-breaking powerplay score of 92 for 1 in 6 overs.
No doubt, he’ll pose a serious threat to England's bowlers along with the likes of Johnson Charles, Andre Russell etc. Their bowling attack, boasting a mix of experience and youthful exuberance, is clicking into gear nicely and has complemented the batting brilliance.
The wily left-arm seam of Obed McCoy, the fiery pace of Alzarri Joseph, and the twin spin of Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie have allowed the Caribbean bowlers to keep the opposition batsmen in check.
West Indies Predicted Playing XI:
Brandon King, Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Rovman Powell (c), Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Russell, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Obed McCoy.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The decks here are generally more batting-friendly than most stadiums in this part of the world. And the recent numbers are in agreement. Two of the three 200+ totals posted in this competition have come here, so with two batting-heavy sides coming up against each other, it’s going to be a run-fest.The weather isn’t looking great with some rain forecast for this game, but we hope the rain gods will stay away.

This match will be played at the Darren Sammy Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia. England have yet to lose a match here at this venue, with one of their three wins coming against the hosts West Indies in 2019. The hosts have won five out of their last six games here, improving their tally to 6 wins from 10 matches.
Toss: To Bat
There’s no distinct advantage in winning the toss here in most grounds at Caribbean Islands, and this venue is no exception. By seeing how the results have panned out on this ground, it would not be a surprise if the captain winning the toss opted to have a bat and get first use of the pitch.
ENG vs WI
Winning Prediction
West Indies have the home advantage and momentum, but England shouldn't be underestimated. England's bowling attack needs to step up and contain the Windies' onslaught, while the Windies need to weather the early storm from England's openers. Defending champions versus the hosts, and it is a pretty tough call. But our money is on the hosts.
We are backing West Indies to win.
