ENG vs WI: The Three Lions and West Indies will go head-to-head in the second match of Super 12 at Dubai International Stadium.
England recently played a warm-up game against the Kiwis at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Nursery 2. Being asked to bat first, England struggled at first, but Buttler’s 73 and quickfire cameos from the rest helped them get to 163/6. In reply, what started brilliantly with the bat for the Kiwis, fell apart drastically. Courtesy of Mark Wood’s 4/28 and Adil Rashid’s 3/18, England won the match by 13 runs.
Meanwhile, West Indies are walking into this encounter with a dramatic loss against Afghanistan in their warm-up game. Batting first, twin fifties from Hazratullah Zazai & Mohammad Shahzad, Afghanistan raced towards a huge total of 189/5. While chasing, the Windies struggled against the likes of Nabi who picked up 3/2 in his quota. The only fifty was by Roston Chase, which came in 58 balls. A poor performance by the West Indies.
In the upcoming encounter, the Three Lions have the clear advantage of winning the game.
