England

West Indies vs. England 2nd T20 Match Prediction

The England batting line up is as good as it can be, the likes of Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan and Jonny Bairstow can lighten any stadium with their electrifying batting, but the concern is the batting order doesn’t fire as a unit. A special individual performance cannot win your game on a regular basis.

Tom Curran and Chris Jordan aren’t lethal but offer rich variations with excellent Yorkers, slower and back of the length deliveries. Both the players possess a good presence of mind and are not easy to score off. They shared 6 wickets between them in the last T20. England bat deep down the order and this is the best opportunity to test the temperament and form of all the players.

Although statistics suggest a robust muscular team paper on papers, but if the top 4 misfires, they will end on the losing side.
