T20 World Cup 2021: England vs West Indies Super 12: Live Telecast, Live Streaming info

A
team
packed
with
some
of
the
most
destructive
T20
players,
the
West
Indies
cut
a
sorry
figure
in
the
two
warm-up
games
against
Pakistan
and
Afghanistan
and
would
need
to
quickly
shrug
off
the
disappointment
ahead
of
the
tournament
proper.

It
was
poor
batting
which
cost
them
both
the
practice
matches.
While
against
Pakistan,
the
Carribean
team
failed
to
put
up
a
fighting
total,
scoring
a
modest
130
for
7,
Kieron
Pollard’s
men
managed
133-5
in
their
chase
of
189
against
Afghanistan.

Roston
Chase’s
54
off
58
balls
against
Afghanistan
was
the
only
highlight
of
their
batting
as
none
of
the
other
batters
could
capitalise
on
their
starts
in
both
the
matches.

Pollard
showed
some
spark
when
he
hit
a
10-ball
23
with
five
boundaries
against
Pakistan
and
his
finishing
skills
will
play
a
big
role
for
the
team
in
the
tournament.

The
West
Indies
will
need
the
likes
of
Evin
Lewis,
Lendl
Simmons,
Shimron
Hetmyer
and
Nicholas
Pooran
to
fire
to
make
a
good
start
and
win
at
least
three
group
matches
to
qualify
for
the
semifinals.

One
of
the
major
concerns
for
West
Indies
is
the
form
of
‘Universe
Boss’ Chris
Gayle,
who
scored
just
165
runs
in
9
innings
in
the
Carribean
Premier
League
and
featured
in
just
two
games
for
Punjab
Kings
in
the
UAE
leg
of
the
IPL.

Experienced
all-rounder
Andre
Russell
too
has
had
frequent
fitness
issues,
the
latest
being
a
hamstring
injury.

He
played
only
three
games
for
Kolkata
Knight
Riders
in
UAE.
There
is
not
much
to
write
home
about
their
bowling
either
with
spinner
Hayden
Walsh
(2/41)
and
left-arm
pacer
Obed
McCoy
(2/43)
being
their
most
successful
bowlers
in
the
two
practice
games.

With
Oshane
Thomas
in
the
ranks,
pace
still
looks
better
than
their
spin
department
which
features
the
likes
of
Fabian
Allen,
Chase
and
Akeal
Hosein.

England,
on
the
other
hand,
are
the
reigning
World
champions
in
ODI
cricket
and
will
be
itching
to
put
the
ghosts
of
the
2016
edition
to
rest
when
Carlos
Brathwaite
had
smashed
four
successive
sixes
in
the
final
to
end
their
dreams.

Up
against
the
same
opponents,
Eoin
Morgan’s
men
will
look
to
set
the
record
straight
when
his
army
of
men
takes
the
field
on
Saturday.

England
seems
a
balanced
side
despite
missing
some
key
players
in
Ben
Stokes,
Jofra
Archer
and
Sam
Curran.

Their
batting
boosts
of
some
big
names
such
as
Jason
Roy,
Jos
Buttler,
and
Jonny
Bairstow
—
all
capable
of
destroying
any
bowling
attack
on
their
day.

While
England
lost
to
India
in
the
first
warm-up,
they
quickly
recovered
to
beat
New
Zealand
in
the
second
match.

Bairstow’s
49
runs
off
36
balls
and
Moeen
Ali’s
20-ball
43
late
in
the
order
were
the
highlights
of
their
batting
against
India,
while
Buttler
slammed
73
off
51
balls
against
New
Zealand
to
gear
up
for
the
showpiece.

Mark
Wood
and
Adil
Rashid
snapped
four
and
three
wickets
respectively
to
lead
a
clinical
bowling
display
against
New
Zealand
and
with
David
Willey,
Chris
Woakes
and
Moeen
Ali
also
in
their
side,
it
looks
like
a
formidable
attack.
