WI vs ENG 2024, 3rd T20I: Match Prediction, Dream11 Team, Fantasy Tips & Pitch Report | West Indies vs England

As West Indies prepare for the crucial third T20I against England, they find themselves in a do-or-die situation to keep their hopes alive in the five-match series. Down 2-0, Rovman Powell’s team will need to come out firing after two comprehensive defeats at the hands of the English side in Barbados. With England displaying dominant form, the pressure is on the West Indies to prevent an early series loss.

England’s dominance and winning momentum

Led by Jos Buttler, England has shown impressive depth and consistency, winning the first two matches with ease. They started the series with an eight-wicket victory and continued their dominance in the second game with a seven-wicket win. England’s top-order batting and disciplined bowling have left West Indies struggling to find an answer, giving the visitors the confidence and momentum they need to push for a series win in the third match.

Key absences and changes in the West Indies squad

The West Indies have faced a setback with Andre Russell ruled out of the remainder of the series, dealing a blow to the team’s power-hitting and experience. In his place, Shamar Springer has been called up, bringing fresh energy to the squad. However, the hosts have received a boost with the return of Alzarri Joseph, who will rejoin the side after serving a two-match suspension. Joseph’s return will be vital for West Indies as they look to bolster their bowling lineup, particularly given the pressure to curb England’s powerful batting.

Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium promises lively conditions with swing and extra bounce, rewarding those who hit the deck hard throughout the innings. But batters, don’t despair! As the match progresses, the surface is expected to flatten out and become more batting-friendly. This creates a fascinating contest – early wickets for the team winning the toss who elects to field first, followed by a potential batting bonanza later.
