Team Analysis
England’s dynamic opening pair is one of their key strengths in T20 Internationals. The classy duo consisting of Phil Salt and Will Jacks form a dynamic opening duo for England in T20Is. Salt’s fearless power-hitting, evident in his T20I strike rate of around 150, provides explosive starts, while Jacks, with a strike rate of over 150 as well, combines adaptability with big-hitting and offers useful off-spin. Together, they put bowlers under early pressure, setting a strong tone for England’s innings.
Moreover, the shadow of poor form has been finally lifted off from the key British pacer, Sam Curran. Curran is back with a bang and the 26-year old pacer can prove to be a real asset for his team. Curran is joined by Reece Topley and Jofra Archer in the fast bowling unit and together the three of them can yield crucial wickets for their teams in challenging situations.
Several vulnerabilities can be spotted in the West Indian squad in this 3rd T20I. One key weakness is their inconsistency in the top order; while they have power-hitters, they often struggle to maintain partnerships and can lose wickets quickly. Brandon King, the talented Caribbean opener is in his career’s worst form and he can be seen struggling to play shots. Moreover, an deficiency in the West Indian squad is their poor fielding efforts. In the past two clashes, there were numerous catch drops and extra runs given as wides and no balls. In this short format of T20 cricket, extra runs can easily lead to a challenging situation, letting victory slip off your hands in a matter of deliveries.
Conclusion
For this 3rd T20 match between England and the West Indies, both teams have several key impact players. Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, and Alzarri Joseph are in great form and be of utmost importance for the host team. Meanwhile, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, and Adil Rashid are expected to perform well from the English side. If you want to watch Eng Vs WI, scroll above and click on the link provided.
