WI vs ENG Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for England's tour of West Indies, Second T20I
West Indies will take on England in the second T20I of the Three Lions' tour of the Caribbean at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown on Monday.
There’s no end in sight to England’s miseries. Following the Ashes debacle in Australia where they lost 4-0, the English team suffered another defeat in the first T20I against West Indies.
They came up against a fierce bowling performance and got bowled out for just 104 runs. England lost their first four wickets inside the powerplay itself and were never able to recover.
West Indies will be high on confidence going into the second T20I with a 1-0 lead in the series. Their bowling unit was ruthless and Brandon King’s half-century sealed the win for them.
They are always a difficult opposition to negotiate with on home soil.
