Cricket Match Prediction | West Indies vs England | 3rd ODI | Nov 07 – Let’s see who will win the series.

WI vs ENG Match Analysis

At 24:00 BDT on November 7, 2024, Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, will host the third ODI of a three-match ODI series between the West Indies and England. The West Indies will be disappointed with their performance in the 2nd ODI, particularly in the bowling department. They failed to defend a substantial target of 329 runs, losing the early advantage they had in the series. England staged an impressive comeback to even the series and now aims to secure its first series victory in the Caribbean since the 2016/17 season.

WI vs ENG Team Preview & Squads

West Indies 

West Indies have some concerns regarding Evin Lewis’s fitness, as he limped off during the last seven overs of Saturday’s game. However, he is anticipated to be fit for this match, and the team will be eager for his return after his impressive performance with the bat in the opening ODI.

Sherfane Rutherford, who entered this match with a record of four consecutive ODI half-centuries, Keacy Carty, and captain Shai Hope all had outstanding innings for their team in the second ODI. Carty took a risk on Saturday, and we anticipate that he will continue to play the aggressive role when he enters the crease.

Although WI’s Matthew Forde, a very dependable pacer, destroyed England’s top order during his ODI debut here in Barbados in December, spinner Gudakesh Motie appeared to be a shadow of his former self in the second ODI.

West Indies Squads

West Indies

Shai Hope, Romario Shepherd, Keacy Carty, Shimron Hetmyer, Gudakesh Motie, Matthew Forde, Shamar Joseph, Jewel Andrew, Brandon King, Hayden Walsh, Sherfane Rutherford, Alzarri Joseph, Evin Lewis, Roston Chase, and Jayden Seales.

England

England secured an outstanding victory in Antigua on Saturday, thrilling their supporters with numerous notable moments. The question now is whether their stand-in captain, Liam Livingstone, can guide them to further success and a series win on Wednesday.

We might see him routinely cutting and switching up his bowlers again if he does this. He employed nine bowlers in total on Saturday, which is only the second time ENG has done so and the 19th time it has ever happened in ODI cricket. But the tourists, who have won both times they have used nine bowlers, appear to find it effective!

Throughout this series, Jofra Archer has been England’s most economical bowler, and he will be eager to make an impression on his home island of Barbados. After scoring between 52 and 124 in the previous ODI, Phil Salt, Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran, and Liam Livingstone will all be coming in at bat.

England Squads

England

Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Will Jacks, Dan Mousley, Jacob Bethell, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Michael Pepper, Ben Duckett, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, John Turner, Jordan Cox, Reece Topley, Jafer Chohan, and Liam Livingstone.

West Indies vs England outfield report

Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados

At Thursday’s toss, the captains should have no trouble making their choice based on the history books, the pitch’s moisture content, and the overhead circumstances. Before this match, we anticipate that both captains will like to bowl first.

This day-night ODI will be muggy from beginning to end, and with a lot of rain predicted in the days before the match, there may be some wetness on the field as well. In previous Test matches, this pitch has occasionally been as flat as a pancake, but in ODIs, bowlers have been able to get on top of the hitters.
