On Thursday afternoon, the second Twenty20 International (T20I) between the West Indies and England will begin in Grenada. On Tuesday in Barbados, West Indies defeated a target of 172 with 11 balls left to win the first game of the series by 4 wickets. At 13:30 local time, the game starts at the National Cricket Stadium.
After a slow start to the Twenty20 International on Tuesday, West Indies used the ball to slow down England’s hitters and eventually began chasing the mark at the beginning of the 19th over. They will be extremely difficult to beat in this game if they play with the same intensity.
Despite losing the first Twenty20 international of the series to Australia, there were positive performances from every player on the team. Much of England’s bowling assault may be suited to the Grenadan conditions, and we anticipate that the team will perform well throughout this Twenty20 international.
We do not expect any changes to the XI for Saturday’s ODI, even if this is a different location. Shai Hope has announced the same lineup for both games thus far in the series. The temptation to test out some new players will be strong, but the series is still in play.
The left-hander Kyle Mayers scored 35 runs off 21 balls on Tuesday in Barbados while displaying his usual aggressive attitude. He hammered four sixes. The West Indies’ leading scorer in the opening Twenty20 International, Shai Hope, continued his recent winning streak against England.
The 35-year-old all-rounder Andre Russell celebrated his comeback to the international scene by winning Player of the Match after hitting 29 runs without giving up and delivering the best bowling numbers. Even though the pace bowler Alzarri Joseph cost a lot of money in the previous game, he still managed to remove Will Jacks from the game and take two more in the penultimate over of the innings.

England
The seasoned trio of Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, and Tymal Mills were re-added to Jos Buttler’s squad on Tuesday, and we can anticipate that all three will start this game. To maximize his effect in this Twenty20 International, Liam Livingstone might be moved up the order.
The right-handed starter Phil Salt was in outstanding form on Tuesday, hitting 40 runs off just 20 balls in an innings that featured six fours and one six. Although the captain has had a difficult tour, he appeared at ease at the top of the order as he sent six balls to the boundary in the opening Twenty20 International.
After dismissing opener Brandon King in Barbados, England’s seasoned all-round bowler Chris Woakes will be eager for more top-order wickets in this match. Woakes rarely lets England down. During this West Indies visit, England has benefited greatly from the spinner Rehan Ahmed, who in the first series match removed Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran, and Romario Shepherd.

At the National Cricket Stadium, this will be the seventh Twenty20 International, and the team batting first has won six of them thus far. Before this match, we forecast that both West Indies and England will prefer to bat first.
Due to its excellent carry and movement off the field, pace bowlers have long loved bowling on this surface. A par result will fall between 175 and 180.
During this game, the temperature will drop from thirty to roughly twenty-seven degrees. Rain is not expected, however, by the end of the game, the humidity will reach 85%.
