Toss Prediction
Only two T20 internationals have been played at the Riverside Ground till date. The last 20-over game was played here in 2013 where England defeated Australia by 27 runs after posting a huge first-innings score of 195. So the team that wins the toss in this match might look to have a bat first.

England Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Allrounders Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali will not be playing this game as the selectors have decided to give them a one-match break. Mark Wood, who has not been in action since July due to a foot injury, misses out again. Adil Rashid has been retained while Steven Finn has been left out.
Key Players
Jason Roy and Alex Hales are explosive T20 batsmen and it will be up to them to provide a flying start to the England innings. Eoin Morgan is the leading run-getter for the side in this format and he can capitalize on the good start or rebuild the innings in case of a few early dismissals. David Willey has taken 20 wickets from 15 matches while Chris Jordan has 30 from 25. Both will hold the key for England with the ball.
Recent Form
England's performance in 20-overs cricket of late has been rather hot and cold with three wins and as many defeats from the six matches they have played so far this year. After losing the T20 international series on their tour of India in January, they beat South Africa 2-1 at home in their most recent series.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
Team News
West Indies have roped in Ashley Nurse, the offspinner who last played a T20 international more than two years ago. He will be replacing legspinner Samuel Badree who won't be available for this upcoming fixture due to prior commitments. The selectors have retained Chris Gayle owing to his successful return in July against India.
Key Players
Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis and Kieron Pollard are all dangerous when it comes to T20 cricket and the West Indian batting is going on rely heavily on these three. Gayle has scored the most runs for the team while Lewis blasted an unbeaten 125 in his last T20 innings against India. Sunil Narine has an economy rate of 6.07 and is amongst the leading wicket-takers for the West Indies in the shortest format. The offspinner will be the team's main weapon in their bowling attack.
Recent Form
West Indies have won five of their last six T20 internationals - three wins against Afghanistan and one each against Pakistan and India. They were beaten by Pakistan 1-3 in the four-game home series before going on to win their next three home encounters against Afghanistan followed by a win in the one-off match against India.

England vs West Indies Head to Head
England have never played against the West Indies in a T20 international at the Riverside Ground. Overall, the two sides have faced each other 14 times in 20-over cricket in the past with the tourists having emerged victorious on 10 of those occasions.
England vs West Indies T20 Betting Odds
England are playing at home. They have already beaten the West Indies 2-1 in the test series and both of those wins were secured inside three days of a test match. So its pretty obvious to see the hosts start off as firm favorites to win this one-off T20 international at 1.63 with 1xbet and 1.57 with Bet365. However, the calibre of the West Indian team in T20 cricket should not be underestimated. They are the only team to have won the ICC World T20 tournament twice. The visitors have been doing really well in this format which makes them a great value at 2.5 with Betfair and 2.37 with Bet365.
England vs West Indies T20 Prediction
West Indies are arguably the most formidable side when it comes to the shortest version of the game. The team is tailor-made for T20 cricket with plenty of hard-hitters and potential match-winners in Gayle, Pollard, Narine, Brathwaite and Samuels. Moreover, they have an excellent record against England and have beaten them five times in their previous six 20-over encounters. The hosts may have been the better side in the test series, but things could be different here due to the unpredictable nature of T20 format. The Windies are on a four-match win streak and we predict them to extend their winning run by defeating England in this game.
Final Verdict: Back West Indies to beat England in the only T20 international at 2.5 with 1xbet and 2.37 with Bet365.
