MATCH PREVIEW     

England has taken an early lead in the three-match series in a 21-run win against the West Indies. The hosts, who dominated the visitors in the ODI series with a 3-0 win, have carried the momentum into the T20i series. Their batting lineup looks good, and the side will look to bank on it. Their good record at home gives them higher odds in this contest. For the West Indies, this tour is turning out to be another disaster. The side has struggled in this format, with nine losses in the last 10 games. The pressure will be on them to recover their confidence, and it will be interesting to see if the side can win here and keep the series alive.  

England Preview     

Harry Brook and his men started as the favorites on cricket betting apps for this series. The side has lived up to the expectations with a strong show in the last game. The batting lineup did well, and the bowling attack didn’t let the West Indies settle down. The side would like to use this momentum and grab the series with another strong performance in this game.  

Ben Duckett has enjoyed good form this summer, and the team expects him to deliver a strong start in the game with Jamie Smith. Jos Buttler will be confident after his 96-run knock in the last game and shall look to build partnerships with Tom Banton and Harry Brook. The team has depth in the batting and expects runs from Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks, and Liam Dawson in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack looked good in the last game. Liam Dawson and Brydon Carse will look to pick early wickets and put the West Indies under pressure. Adil Rashid has got under the opponents' skin and shall look to keep the scoring under check with Will Jacks. Jacob Bethell and Matthew Potts add variety to the attack, strengthening it.  

Expected Starting XI for England     

Harry Brook (c), Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler (wk), Jamie Smith, Tom Banton, Will Jacks, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Liam Dawson, Adil Rashid, Matthew Potts 

West Indies Preview      

Shai Hope and his team are having a tough tour. Their form in this format in the last 12 months has been awful, which will worry the team as they have great T20 players. The side will start behind on cricket betting sites due to their inconsistency. Hope expects a better show from his top order to win this game and keep hopes alive for the final game.  

Johnson Charles and Evin Lewis are aggressive batters, and the team expects a strong start at the top. Shai Hope must anchor the innings in the middle order and build partnerships with Roston Chase and Sherfane Rutherford. The team expects quick runs from Rovman Powell and Andre Russell in the game, as both can destroy bowling attacks.

Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd must strike early in the game to put the strong English batting lineup on the back foot. Gudakesh Motie and Alzarri Joseph are the main bowlers in this attack and have a key role in the middle overs. The team needs good spells from Russell and Roston Chase in the supporting role.  

Expected Starting XI for West Indies     

Shai Hope (c & wk), Johnson Charles, Evin Lewis, Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Andre Russell, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph 

TOSS: To Bowl First      

The last few games at this game have seen a distinct advantage for the team that has chased scores. The wicket is tough to put up runs in the early overs as the ball does a bit off the surface. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first and restrict the opponents to a small total.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

We will have overcast skies over Bristol. The conditions will offer some respite for the bowlers in an otherwise good batting surface. Batsmen will look to build partnerships in these tough conditions. A score of 180 runs will be a competitive total under these conditions.  

OUR PREDICTION      

West Indies come here with a string of failures. They have struggled to show consistency and need the top order and bowling attack to rise to the challenge. The English side is a tough force to beat at home. They have their batsmen in good form and a well-balanced bowling attack. According to our cricket betting tips, the West Indies will start favorites.  

Our prediction is for England to win
