Match Preview
In the second Super 8 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, reigning champions England will square off against West Indies. The match will take place on June 20, at the Daren Sammy Stadium in St. Lucia. England barely made it to the Super 8 stage of the tournament after Scotland faced a defeat against Australia in the final group stage match. On the flip side, the West Indies are currently unbeaten in the tournament and have advanced easily to the Super 8s as the table-toppers.
Toss Prediction
England and West Indies have been up against each other in 29 T20I matches. Looking back at their toss records in the last five games, the West Indies skipper won three tosses, whereas the England skipper came out victorious in two tosses. Speaking of the toss in the upcoming game, home skipper Rovman Powell is likely to come on top of the toss over Jos Buttler to extend his toss-winning streak.
Win Possibility
As we have talked about it, England and West Indies have faced each other in 29 T20I games. In those 29 head-to-head games, the Caribbean dominated their English rivals and currently leads the tally 17-12. Talking about their individual campaigns in the tournament so far, England lost one of their games against Australia before registering an eight-wicket win over Oman and a 41-run win over Namibia.
On the other hand, West Indies have been dominating the tournament like anything. Rovman Powell and Co. have been making the most of their familiarity with the surface and are currently undefeated in the season. Not only this but in their last group-stage match against Afghanistan, the West Indies put on an eye-catching performance and sent a warning shot to their rivals. While the Windies would aim to continue their momentum and would give a tough fight to England, the defending champions would take lessons from their past games and make a stronger comeback in the tournament to win their first Super 8 clash.
Considering this, we think the two-time winners, England, are highly likely to clinch victory in the upcoming game.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The upcoming match between West Indies and England will be played at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground. The venue has hosted more than 20 T20I matches so far and has an average first-inning score of 163. Considering this, we think the first-inning score of the game could be around 165-175 and the powerplay score could hover around 45-50.
