West Indies vs England 42nd Match ICC T20 World Cup 2024
The second game in Group 2 of the Super Eights has England facing off against the West Indies at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia. In the first stage of the tournament, England finished second in Group B, while West Indies topped Group C.
England managed to keep their T20 World Cup hopes alive by winning their last two group games against Oman and Namibia. Before that, they were in a tough spot with a no-result against Scotland and a loss to Australia. This match will be a bigger challenge compared to their recent games.
On the other hand, West Indies cruised through their matches against PNG and Uganda, faced a tough battle with New Zealand, but then dominated Afghanistan in Match 40. With strong performances both with the bat and ball, they are confident heading into this game against the reigning champions.
West Indies hit 218/5 in the last game at this venue so we can expect another good batting wicket. There will be some turn but overall it will be a good paced pitch and a par score is likely to be over 190.
