Preview :

West Indies and England will cross swords against each other in the Super 8s of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 on Thursday (In India). West Indies are in outstanding form, with 4 wins on the trot. On the other hand, on the basis of a higher net run rate, England qualified for the Super 8s following an easy win over Namibia in the rain marred game.

England survived a massive scare in the first round as they had to rely on arch-rivals Australia to make it through. Scotland and England finished tied on points but the Three Lions managed to progress due to their superior net run-rate. The defending champions won their matches against Oman and Namibia comprehensively but lost to Australia. Their opening fixture against Scotland ended without a result.

West Indies has shown a major improvement in their quality of cricket in the ongoing tournament. They have a good bowling attack but the team carries a major void at the top-order batting unit.

They have the winning momentum and they are expected to give England a tough time during the match. Sherfane Rutherford is their leading scorer with 92 runs in 3 matches at an average of 46. Nicholas Pooran is the 2nd highest scorer for the team with 66 runs in 3 fixtures at an average of 22.

On the bowling front, Alzarri Joseph has come out as the leading wicket-taker with 8 wickets in 3 matches at an economy of 7.37. Akeal Hosein is following him with 7 wickets in 3 fixtures at an economy of 3.72. The duo will be expected to do major damage to England’s batting unit on Thursday.

*England*

Jos Buttler :

Jos Buttler is coming off a good IPL and he is a key part of the England batting line-up. He has scored 66 runs in three innings so far and has a strike rate of 165. He has 365 runs at an average of 33.2 and a strike rate of 135.68 against the West Indies. He also has three fifties against them. Default c/vc pick.

Phil Salt :

Philip Salt has gotten some blazing starts in this tournament and has scored 60 runs while striking at 176.47 (six fours and four sixes). He was superb in the IPL 2024, where he amassed 435 runs at a strike rate of 185. Moreover, he has a fantastic record against the West Indies: 391 runs in eight innings while striking at 187.08, which includes two centuries and a half-century. One of the best captaincy choice for grand league.

Jonny Bairstow :

Jonny Bairstow has smashed 1607 runs in 76 T20I matches at an average of 29.76 and a strike rate of 137.82. Bairstow has 175 runs at an average of 25 and a strike rate of 125 in seven against the West Indies. Good pick.

Will Jacks :

Will Jacks too had a great IPL playing for RCB. He also likes to take the attack to the bowlers and will be an important batter for his team. Will Jacks has 72 runs at an average of 18. and a strike rate of 124.1 in four T20I innings in 2024. Must have pick.

Harry Brook :

Harry Brook played a pivotal knock for England when it mattered, scoring 47* runs at a strike rate of 235 in the rain truncated game against Namibia. He will continue to play at No. 4 against the West Indies as well. Good pick.

Sam Curran :

Sam Curran adds value with both bat and the ball. He will bowl in the key overs for his side and is more than capable with the bat. Curran had a solid IPL with both bat and ball. Sam Curran has smashed 260 runs and taken 49 wickets in 47 T20I matches. Another safest c/vc pick.

Liam Livingstone:

Livingstone looks in fine with the ball quite a bit in the last series against Pakistan. He bowls both off-spin and leg-spin and can chip in a with a wicket or two in the middle overs as the conditions at Antigua will aid the spinners. Not to forget his brute strength with the bat. Punt pick.

Moeen Ali:

Moeen Ali will also bowl 2-3 overs, especially against Pooran at the top. If he picks up any wickets in the first two overs then he is expected to bowl atleast one more. There isn’t a lot of value from Moeen with the bat but you never know in the game of cricket. Moeen Ali has 171 runs in 12 T20I innings against the WI. He also has 10 wickets at an average of 22.2 and a strike rate of 17.4 in 11 T20I innings against them. Punt pick.

Mark Wood :

Mark Wood's express-pace deliveries are expected to bamboozle the opposition batters. The right-arm pacer and Jofra Archer will lead the pace attack of England. Wood played just a game against the WI and took 3/9 in that game. Mark Wood finally came to form against Oman with 3 wickets. His pace where he was seen clocking over 150 KPH troubled the opposition. One of the best c/vc pick from bowling section.

Jofra Archer :

Jofra Archer was bowling consistently at 145+ which will be trouble Namibian batters. Archer has 7 wickets at an average of 15.9 and a strike rate of 14.7 in five T20I innings in 2024. The right-arm fast bowler was lethal with the ball as he picked 3/12 and bowled at rapid speeds. He can pick up wickets in clusters and help you fetch plenty of points in fantasy cricket. C/vc pick.

Chris Jordan :

Chris Jordan is England’s death overs specialist. He nails his yorkers and has excellent change-ups in his arsenal. Jordan fields at the hot-spots so expect a couple of catches from him on any given day. Jordan has 12 wickets at an average of 27.0 and a strike rate of 19.0 in 12 T20I innings against the West Indies. A top captaincy pick if they are bowling first.

Adil Rashid :

Adil Rashid is currently the No. 1 ranked bowler in T20Is and will be England’s lead spinner. He is a wily bowler and a genuine wicket-taker. The veteran England spinner bowled his heart out and picked 4/11 from his 4 overs with the ball in a match ago. He can trouble Carabean middle order and don’t be surprised if he picks up 2-3 wickets in this match. Rashid has 8 wickets at an average of 17.2 and a strike rate of 13.8 in six T20I innings in 2024. Against the West Indies, his record reads 31 wickets in 18 games at an economy rate of 5.85. Punt pick.

*West Indies*

Nicholas Pooran :

Nicholas Pooran missed out on a well deserved century against Afghanistan by just 2 runs. Coming in at No. 3, he made a counterattack right from the start and scored 53-ball 98 runs, which included 6 fours and 8 sixes. He is a powerful hitter of the cricket ball and ready to trounce the opposition bowlers. Pooran has good record against the England with 374 runs at an average of 29.5 and a strike rate of 135.2 in 14 T20I innings against them. Must have pick.

Johnson Charles :

Johnson Charles is an attacking wicketkeeper batter who's finally struck form with a crucial knock in the last game against Afghanistan. The veteran right-handed batter is explosive at the top of the order and can clear the fields with ease. But he has managed to scores 173 runs in 7 T20I innings against the England. Punt pick.

Brandon King :

Brandon King is the promising top order batter who's finished the last series as the top run-scorer with 159 runs in 3 matches with the highest score of 79. Overall he has scored 1363 runs in 53 T20Is at a good strike rate of 134.6. He was batted nicely in the first game of the mega event for West Indies scored 34 off 29 balls. He has been in solid touch this year and has amassed 271 runs in seven outings while striking at 147.5 in T20Is. One of the best captaincy choice for grand league.

Roston Chase :

Roston Chase is making his name up in the list of top all-rounders in the West Indies. The off-spinning all-rounder bowled an economical spell (0/26 in four overs) before scoring a match-winning 42 not out off 27 balls (four fours and two sixes) against PNG and won man of the match award. He has scored 178 runs in five T20Is innings in 2024. Must have pick.

Andre Russell :

Andre Russell is the T20 megastar who's might play his last T20 World Cup for West Indies. He provides options with ruthless hitting and fast bowling skills. He had a good season for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, picking up 19 wickets and scoring 222 runs. The premier West Indies all-rounder has 62 runs in four innings and has remained unbeaten three times. He has a strike rate of 172.72. With the ball, he has five wickets at an economy rate of 6.77 of this tournament. Default c/vc pick.

Romario Shepherd :

Romario Shepherd is one of the top bowling all-rounders in the team. He has taken 40 wickets in 39 T20Is and has scored 348 handy runs at a good strike rate of 151.1. Good pick.

Akeal Hosein :

Akeal Hosein is turning it on for Men in Maroon with his spin web, picking up 9 wickets in 4 matches in the tournament with the best figures of 5 for 11. As mentioned the pitch has become slower over the past few years so his spells will be important in the latter stages of the game. Hosein has picked 47 wickets in 53 T20I matches. He can also bat and give 1-2 big hits towards the end of the innings. Good pick.

Gudakesh Motie :

Gudakesh Motie did his tricks with the spin attack and finished the series against the South Africa as a top wicket taker. We expect more turn from the pitch in the second game and his role will be important again. The left-arm spinner took 2/28 in previous game. He has been in superb form in 2024 and he has returned with nine wickets in four T20Is at an economy of 6.4 this year. Good pick.

Alzarri Joseph :

Alzarri Joseph is known for his strong bowling, presents a tough test for batsmen with his pace and precision. His knack for performing under pressure highlights his vital role in the team’s bowling lineup. Overall he's picked up 40 wickets in 25 matches so far. The 27-year-old West Indies fast bowler has got 8 wickets in six games in T20I cricket this year. He has the ability to run through the opposition. One of the best c/vc pick if WI bowl first.
