WI vs ENG: Players to Watch out for
Jos Buttler will be the key at the top. The English captain is one of the biggest names in the shorter format and an explosive batter. He will look to continue and get some runs under his belt to get his confidence going.
Andre Russell has been selected for the squad, and he will be back in the team and play his first T20I since 2021. But we all know how dangerous he can be with the bat and the ball, and he can be a game changer for his team.
WI vs ENG: Pitch Report
The pitch in Barbados is on the slower side, which will help the bowlers more. Ball will not come onto the bat properly, which will make the batting difficult. The toss will play a crucial role, and chasing is a good option.
