England are favourites to win
West Indies and England go head to head in the first of five IT20 games at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown on Saturday afternoon. This will be England’s first T20 match since losing the T20 World Cup Semi-Final to New Zealand in November. West Indies were beaten 3-0 away by Pakistan in December. Read on as we preview this game. This match begins at 16:00 local time.
West Indies won the 2016 T20 World Cup but were one of the major disappointments of last year’s tournament. They then lost 3-0 in Pakistan and will be underdogs in this match.
England were impressive in the T20 World Cup but suffered injuries at the wrong time. They are a very strong white ball side and will be very confident ahead of this game.
The series will be broadcasted on Star Network in India. Live streaming of the series will be available on Disney Hotstar.
Live Streaming: They will also be streamed on SonyLiv App. The info has been taken from a third party and is subjected to change.
Both teams are more comfortable chasing in this format. We predict that both skipper will choose to field first in this match.
The Kensington Oval has become something of a batter's paradise over recent years. We do not expect the bowlers to get much assistance from the surface.
Sunny with a high of 27 degrees with the temperature dropping by a couple of degrees in the evening.

After the retirements of Chris Gayel and Dwayne Bravo, this is a new era for West Indies cricket. They should give some time to exciting new players like Romario Shepherd but overall this team is still full of experienced players. There are no injury worries in West Indies’ camp.
West Indies have lost their last five games in this format.
Roston Chase, Shai Hope, Rovman Powell, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Darren Bravo, Kyle Mayers, Kieron Pollard (c), Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Hayden Walsh, Sheldon Cottrell
After a torrid tour of Australia and a 4-0 Ashes defeat, this series should make for a pleasant change in fortune for England. However, it will be very different players on show and a few individuals should make their debuts in this series. We expect all-rounder George Garton to get his first cap in this match.
Although England were very impressive in the T20 World Cup, they did lose their last two matches.
Phil Salt (wk), Jason Roy, James Vince, Liam Livingstone, Eoin Morgan, Moeen Ali, Sam Billings, George Garton, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Tymal Mills
West Indies have the overall lead but England have won the last four matches between the sides.
| Matches Played | WI Won | ENG Won | Tie | NR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | 19 | 11 | 8 | 0 | 0 |
| Last 5 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
The visitors are favourites with the bookies to win the opening game of the series.
Liam Livingstone and Nicholas Pooran are the new generation of key players coming through and who we expect to shine in this game.
Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran and Roston Chase are our batting tips for West Indies. Chase had a very strong CPL last year.
Jason Roy, Liam Livingstone and Phil Salt are our batting recommendations for England. Roy will be aggressive from the first ball of the England innings.
For West Indies, Sheldon Cottrell, Jason Holder and Hayden Walsh are our bowling tips. Cottrell’s left-arm pace is always a different challenge for batters.
For England, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood and Tymal Mills are our bowling tips. Rashid is an excellent T20 bowler who picks up wickets with his variations and batters taking risks.
Both teams have a very attacking approach to T20 cricket and this should be a very entertaining game for neutral fans. Although England are missing some of their top players, they can still put out a very strong side and we are predicting an away win.
