Team England won the Eng Vs WI T20I series as the guest squad comprehensively defeated the Caribbean team by 3 wickets in the 3rd T20I. With this third consecutive win of this series, the only thing that the West Indian team can do now is to prevent themselves from a white-wash, which might prove to be challenging for the hosts as Jos Butler and his men are in their lethal forms as they take revenge from the West Indian team for the ODI series loss. With the star English all-rounder, Sam Curran back in form and the incredible form of the classy spinner, Saqib Mehmood, victory is not too far from the British men in this 3rd clash of the 5-match series.

Team Analysis
The English team led by their wicket-keeping batsman, Jos Butler feature numerous strengths in their line-up. This includes an superior batting order, which goes up to their 7th position. The versatile squad comprises a beautiful blend of anchoring batters as well as hitters, hence, it is safe to conclude that batting is the main strength of the guest squad in this 3rd T20I. But it should be highlighted here that the disappointing performance by the experienced English opener, Phil Salt in the previous matches of this series has provided the English team with a wobbly and unstable start which has often led to a middle-order collapse and an abrupt break in the momentum.
Since the pitches in the West Indies provide an advantage to the spinners, England has hit a jackpot with the inclusion of their star spinner, Saqib Mehmood in playing 11. Saqib was awarded the Man of the Match award in the last T20I encounter for his stellar spell of 3 for 17, averaging only 4.25 runs per over. This economy deserves high praise in T20I cricket as it played an important role in limiting the target set by the opposing team.
Only 2 West Indian batsmen made it into double figures in the last match and hence, the Caribbean team failed to put together a decent target on the scoreboard. Where the skipper, Rovamn Powell is in good form, the rest of the famous names in the teams like Sherfane Rutherford, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran, and Shai Hope have struggled to add runs to the total. This is disappointing, especially considering that West Indies enjoys the advantage of home crowd and environment.
