On January 22nd, these two teams will face off in the 1st T20i of the England Tour to West Indies at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados.
It’s time for some T20I action between two of cricket’s most powerful teams. The West Indies will play England in the first T20I at home. There will be five games between the two teams, with all of them taking place at Kensington Oval in Barbados.
England are coming off a disappointing Ashes series, but it’s time to turn their attention to the game’s shortest format. Despite the absence of players like Jos Butler, Ben Stokes, and Jonny Bairstow from the roster, England appear to be a formidable opponent. Jason Roy smashed an incredible century in the practice game just a few days ago, and he’ll be looking to maintain that form throughout the series.
Philip Salt might be the other opening batter, and given his abilities, he could be a serious threat. The other crucial batters in their lineup will be Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, and Eoin Morgan. Their bowling department, too, looks quite strong. They have a mix of some experienced as well as young players by their side. Tymal Mills, Saqib Mahmood, and Adil Rashid will be the ones to watch out for.
On the other hand, the West Indies are coming off a humiliating ODI series loss to Ireland.They haven’t been at their best in the last few months, as evidenced by their loss to Pakistan. On the other hand, Kieron Pollard and his teammates will be looking to make a difference this time.
The hosts have some quality players on their team, like Odean Smith and Romario Shepherd, who have been shown to be essential in previous series and will be aiming to continue their good form in this one. Their key batsmen, Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran, have been off form and would be anxious to score some runs and show their full capabilities. Young speedster Dominic Drakes and spinner Hayden Walsh, too, would be crucial parts of the squad.

Top Picks from WI vs ENG for Dream11 Fantasy Team:
Sam Billings returns to action for England and would love to be at his best in the five-match T20I series. Billings is one of the more explosive batters in the English batting unit and should be one to watch out for in today’s game.
West Indies captain Kieron Pollard is bound to be a popular pick in most of the Dream11 fantasy teams, and rightly so. He has been in fairly decent form and is likely to bat in the lower middle order. Pollard can also bowl and has the ability to strike wickets, making him a good pick in this encounter.
Liam Livingstone comes into the game on the back of some lean performances in Abu Dhabi T10. However, he has done well in English colours despite batting in the lower order. With his handy bowling ability also bound to come into play, he’s going to be a useful addition to any Dream11 fantasy team.
Although Tymal Mills was out of the team for a while, he showed glimpses of his ability in the T20 WC and BBL. Apart from his insicive swing bowling and slower one, he will be key for England in the death overs as well, something we should see in this fixture.
