WI vs ENG 2nd Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The second Test of the three-Test series between West Indies and England begins at the Kensington Oval, Barbados on Wednesday morning. Antigua hosted the First Test last week which finished as a draw with four players hitting centuries over the course of the match. Read on as we preview the second game of the series. This Test Match begins at 10:00 local time.
West Indies ended their losing run of three Tests with a solid batting display in Antigua. Their pace bowlers caused problems on a docile pitch and they will fancy their chances in Barbados.
England put in a much stronger display last week than was seen in any of their five Tests in the Ashes over recent months. With more batters in form, they could be a real force in this game.

🏆 West Indies vs England Prediction
Both teams came into the Antigua Test in poor form and with plenty of question marks against their batting line-ups. As there were four centurions, the batters should come into this match with more confidence. We are predicting another close contest with England getting the victory in Barbados.
