WI vs ENG 3rd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The three match ODI series between West Indies and England concludes on Saturday afternoon as the teams meet at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown. So far both sides have won one match each in Antigua with West Indies going 1-0 up before England won by 6 wickets on Wednesday. Read on as we preview this final game of the series. The third ODI gets underway in Barbados at 13:30 local time.
Although West Indies recovered from 23/4 to 152/4 in Antigua on Wednesday, they never really got on top of England in the second ODI. However, there is a series win up for grabs in this game. We expect Shai Hope’s side to be competitive once more in this match.
Wednesday’s performance was much more what England’s supporters and team management are looking for from this group who got on top of West Indies with tight bowling early on in the game. With more confidence in the group, they should be able to complete another victory on Saturday.

WI vs ENG Match Toss Prediction
Six of the last seven ODIs at the Kensington Oval have been won by the team fielding first so our prediction is that both skippers will choose to field first if they win the toss ahead of this match.
WI vs ENG Pitch Report
This is a pitch which offers turn for the spinners and some movement off the surface for the quicker bowlers. This is not a quick pitch and a par score will be no higher than 280.

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
- Shai Hope- the 30 year old skipper is an exceptionally consistent batter in this format and has hit over 7200 international runs across his career.
- Sherfane Rutherford- the left-handed batter only made his ODI debut in the opening game of the series but he already looks at home at this level after hitting a half-century and dismissing Will Jacks in the second match.
- Yannic Cariah- the 31 year old leg-spinner bowled some excellent deliveries in the second ODI and he will be looking forward to getting the ball on a spin friendly surface in Barbados.
- Gudakesh Motie- the slow left-arm orthodox bowler is West Indies’ leading wicket taker in the series and dismissed Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett on Wednesday.
WI Team Form
West Indies were beaten by 6 wickets in the last game and have lost three of their last five ODIs.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Alick Athanaze, Brandon King, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (c) (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph, Yannic Cariah, Gudakesh Motie, Oshane Thomas
England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
It was a much improved performance from Jos Buttler’s side in the second ODI and with two days of rest before this final game of the series, we are not expecting any un-enforced changes to the team. All of England’s bowling attack will be fresh after delivering only 39.4 overs on Wednesday.
ENG Key Players
- Harry Brook- the right-hander produced a very mature and responsible innings in the second game of the series as he took England from 85/3 to winning the game by 6 wickets.
- Jos Buttler- Wednesday’s ODI was very important for the skipper who put a very poor run of scores behind him to finish unbeaten on 58 and hit three sixes during the innings.
- Gus Atkinson- it has been an impressive series opening the bowling for the Surrey 25 year old. He has picked up 4 wickets from the two ODIs so far.
- Rehan Ahmed- the spinner continues to perform to a very high standard irrespective of the opposition. He was England’s most economical bowler as well as dismissing Romario Shepherd and Gudakesh Motie on Wednesday.
ENG Team Form
Although England looked a little unconfident with the bat at times on Wednesday, they have now won three of their last four ODIs.
England Predicted Playing 11
Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c) (wk), Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Rehan Ahmed, Brydon Carse, Gus Atkinson
