West Indies vs England 2nd T20I: Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

The second T20I match between West Indies (WI) and England (ENG) is scheduled to take place in Grenada on Thursday afternoon. The West Indies team emerged victorious in the first game of the series, winning by four wickets on Tuesday in Barbados, as they successfully chased down a target of 172 with 11 balls remaining.

Despite a shaky start with the ball in the first T20I, West Indies managed to slow down England's batters and eventually chased down the target in the 19th over. If they maintain the same level of intensity, it will be difficult for England to defeat them in this match.

Although England lost the opening T20I, some promising performances are going to boost their confidence. The conditions in Grenada could be favourable for much of England's bowling attack, and we can anticipate a high level of play from the team in this upcoming T20I.

National Cricket Stadium, St George's, Grenada Pitch Report and Conditions

The pitch at the National Cricket Stadium, St. George's, Grenada, generally favours the batters. There is expected to be very little assistance for the bowlers here, and batters are set to enjoy their time. Medium-pace bowlers with their slow cutters might come into the game towards the later part of the innings. The team batting first would be eyeing at least 180-plus runs on the board to challenge the opposition in the chase.

Probable Best Performers from WI vs ENG

Probable Best Batter: Nicholas Pooran

One of the most in-demand players around the world in franchise league cricket, Nicholas Pooran has showcased amazing form with his bat in recent times. He recently took his team to the finals of the Abu Dhabi T10 tournament, where he performed very well with his bat as well. Although he missed his opportunity in the first game of the series, he is too good a player to miss opportunities in two consecutive matches. He is surely expected to make a comeback and play a fiery knock in the upcoming match.

Probable Best Bowler: Adil Rashid

Adil Rashid is currently one of the top leg spinners in the world. He demonstrated his skills in the last match, taking two wickets in his four-over spell while conceding just 25 runs. Batters have struggled to pick his leggies and googlies, and considering that Caribbean batters are not particularly strong against spin, he may continue to trouble them in the upcoming game as well.
