Team Analysis
The West Indian team is unstoppable in this series. Their main strength is their incredibly talented bowling line-up, which reduced the English team to a low target of 209 runs in the 1st match. Gudakesh Motie is in his prime form as the 29-year old spinner took home 4 crucial wickets in the 1st clash at a decent economy of 4.10. Moreover, Mathew Forde and Jayden Seales are also in good form and can prove to be immensely valuable for their team in challenging situations.
Evin Lewis is another asset for the host team. Evin is known for his destructive and aggressive batting style and the youngster can put quick runs on the scoreboard, while optimizing the usage of powerplay. He is accompanied by Brandon King in the top order and together the duo can form foundational partnerships for their team’s batting innings. Last but not the least, the West Indian squad is electric in the field and their superb fielding efforts have undoubtedly played an important role in propelling their team towards yet another victory.
The English team is struggling to form partnerships in their batting innings. An unwanted middle-order collapse was the main reason for their defeat in the first game. Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethel, and Dan Mousley are struggling to hit boundaries and the English team is really feeling the absence of their batting stars namely Harry Brook, Ben Dukett, and Jos Butler. Moreover, the two of the most experienced bowlers in the British squad, Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer are failing to yield breakthroughs for their team in the form of crucial dismissals. Hopefully, this particular parameter will change in this game and things will work out in favor of the English players.
