WI vs ENG 2nd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The second of five T20Is between West Indies and England gets underway in Grenada on Thursday afternoon. West Indies won the opening game of the series by 4 wickets on Tuesday in Barbados as they chased down a target of 172 with 11 balls remaining. Read on as we preview this T20I. The match begins at the National Cricket Stadium at 13:30 local time.
West Indies recovered from a poor start to the T20I on Tuesday with the ball to slow England’s batters and then went on to chase the target at the start of the 19th over. If they perform with the same intensity they will be very hard to beat in this game.
Although England were beaten again in the opening T20I of the series, there were encouraging performances across the side. The conditions in Grenada could suit much of England’s bowling attack and we expect the team to play at a high level across this T20I.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
So far in the series Shai Hope has announced the same team for both games and although this is a different venue, we are not anticipating any changes to the XI for Saturday’s ODI. There will be a temptation to try some new players but the series is still on the line.
WI Key Players
- Kyle Mayers - The left hander was in typically aggressive mood in Barbados on Tuesday as he hit four sixes in his 35 runs from 21 balls.
- Shai Hope - The ODI captain top scored for West Indies in the first T20I to continue his strong form against England this month.
- Andre Russell - The 35 year old all-rounder marked his return to the international arena by taking the Player of the Match after hitting 29 not out and returning the best bowling figures.
- Alzarri Joseph - The pace bowler was expensive in the last game but still dismissed Will Jacks as well as picking up two more wickets in the final over of the innings.
WI Team Form
West Indies travel to Grenada full of confidence and targeting their third successive victory in this format.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, Shai Hope (wk), Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell (c), Shimron Hetmyer, Andre Russell, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein
England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
Jos Buttler’s team welcomed back the experienced trio of Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid and Tymal Mills to the team on Tuesday and we can expect all three to stay in the side for this game. Liam Livingstone could be pushed up the order to maximise his impact in this T20I.
ENG Key Players
- Phil Salt - The right-handed opener was in brilliant form on Tuesday as he hit 40 runs from 20 balls with an innings which included six fours and one six.
- Jos Buttler - It has been a tough tour for the skipper but he looked comfortable back at the top of the order as he sent the ball to the boundary on six occasions in the first T20I.
- Chris Woakes - The experienced bowling all-rounder very rarely lets England down and he will be looking for more top order wickets in this game after dismissing opener Brandon King in Barbados.
- Rehan Ahmed - The spinner has been a real positive for England on this tour of the West Indies and he dismissed Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran and Romario Shepherd in the opening game of the series.
ENG Team Form
England produced some good moments on Tuesday but have now lost three matches in a row in this format.
England Predicted Playing 11
Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (c) (wk), Will Jacks, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Rehan Ahmed, Adil Rashid, Tymal Mills

Who will win West Indies vs England 2nd T20 Match?
These teams look quite well matched and we think there will not be too much between the sides in this game. There are some fine batters and bowlers across both teams but we expect England to be the top team as they search for a way to get back into the series.
🏆 West Indies vs England Prediction
A win for West Indies will put them 2-0 up and in a very strong position in the series whereas England are looking to level it at 1-1 in this match. With Andre Russell back in the team, West Indies look powerful with bat and ball but England also look very competitive with Adil Rashid bowling in tandem with Rehan Ahmed. Overall we expect a tight contest but are backing England to win.
