MATCH PREVIEW     

England has won the ODI series comprehensively with a 3-0 margin against the West Indies. The action moves to the three-match T20 series, and the hosts want to build on this momentum. England lost 1-4 against India the last time they played this format, and the team will look to overcome this loss. They defeated the West Indies 3-1 in the last series between the two sides, and the team will start the game with the odds in their favor. West Indies have a mountain to climb after their drubbing in the ODIs. The team plays this format well, and it will be interesting to see if they can make it count and humble the hosts with a good performance in this contest.   

England Preview     

Harry Brook and his men will feel confident heading into this game. They have bagged the ODI series 3-0, dominating the visitors in all the games. The batting lineup looks excellent, and the team will start with higher odds on cricket betting sites. Their recent record against the West Indies has been good, and Brook would like to extend that and take an early lead in the series.  

Ben Duckett is in good form and will look to deliver a good start with Phillip Salt, who comes into the game after a good show in the IPL. The middle order is formidable, and the team expects Will Jacks, Jos Buttler, and Harry Brook. The team has depth in the batting lineup and shall expect quick runs from Jacob Bethell, Liam Dawson, and Brydon Carse, as they all have good hitting abilities.  

The bowling attack has done well in recent games, and the team expects a good start with the new ball from Saqib Mahmood and Brydon Carse. Adil Rashid has gotten under the skin of the West Indies batters, and he will look to do well in the middle overs with Matthew Pots. Liam Dawson, Will Jacks, and Jacob Bethell add variety to this bowling attack, making it strong.  

Expected Starting XI for England     

Harry Brook (c), Philip Salt (wk), Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler, Will Jacks, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Matthew Pots, Liam Dawson  

West Indies Preview      

Shai Hope and his men will be under pressure heading into this game. The team has failed to put pressure on the English side during the ODIs, and the bowling attack has been found wanting on more than one occasion. Their lack of consistency causes them to start with lower odds on cricket-betting apps. The West Indies skipper expects a good show from his bowlers in this game, as they are up against a strong batting lineup.  

Brandon King and Johnson Charles must take on the English new-ball attack and lay a strong foundation at the top. Shai Hope will look to anchor the middle order and build partnerships with Shimron Hetmyer and Roston Chase. Andre Russell, Rovman Powell, and Romario Shepherd are clean strikers and will look to deliver a strong show in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack will face a tough test in the game as England's top and middle order is in great form. Romario Shepherd and Alzarri Joseph must get early breakthroughs. Gudakesh Motie has enjoyed success in the last 12 months and must do well in the middle overs with Akeal Hosein. The team also expects a good show in the supporting role from Roston Chase and Russell.  

Expected Starting XI for West Indies     

Shai Hope (c & wk), Brandon King, Johnson Charles, Shimron Hetmyer,  Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Andre Russell 

TOSS: To Bowl First      

The team chasing the score in the last six games has won four times. The track has something for the bowlers in the early overs, and the conditions improve in the second half. The team winning the toss would look to bowl first and aim at restricting the opponents to a small total.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

We will have overcast skies over Chester, and rain interruptions may occur during this game. We expect a lively surface where the ball will move in the initial overs. Batters must be watchful on this wicket and play to the merit of the ball. A score of 180 runs will be a competitive total under these conditions.  

OUR PREDICTION      

West Indies have struggled with the bat and the ball during the ODI series. They have a poor record against England in this format, winning only once in the last five games between the two teams. Their bowlers must deliver the goods for the team to do well. England will be confident with its recent form and strong batting lineup. Based on the current form and team strengths, England will start favorites according to our cricket betting tips.  

Our prediction is for England to win
