The downward spiral continues for England on this tour of the West Indies. Having lost the ODI series they are now staring at a possible defeat in the T20I leg as well with three games left. It's no secret that England are yet to single in on a proper combination as far as the T20Is are concerned.
With the World Cup for the shortest format looming in six months they'll be hoping to set the order right so that they can prevent a debacle like the one they endured in the recent ODI World Cup. With West Indies being the co-hosts of the marquee event this series will tell England a lot about the potential efficiency of their core group.
The two games have been mirror images of each other thus far albeit in different conditions. England had their moments both times only to lose the plot at the back end of the first innings. They had the platform to surge to a total in excess of 185-190 in the opening game but imploded after a fiery start from Phil Salt and Jos Buttler.
The eventual total of 171 was clearly not enough as West Indies gunned it down with 11 balls to spare. In the second game the visitors had bowled brilliantly for the first 15 overs with Rehan Ahmed and Adil Rashid calling the shots. But a 30-run over from Sam Curran turned the tables dramatically and West Indies ended up crossing the 175-run mark when at one point even 160 seemed far fetched.
The inconsistencies in all departments from England has been blatantly visible. On the other hand West Indies have used their familiar home conditions to good use and the return of Andre Russell has deepened the power factor of their line-up. The ammunition has clearly been the difference between the two sides - England have hit 14 sixes in the two games while West Indies have nearly doubled it with as many as 27 maximums!
West Indies carried the momentum of their success in Barbados into the second T20I and they put on a solid show. West Indies defeated England again to go 2-0 up in Grenada. On Saturday (December 16) at St George’s the Windies would aim to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series. The visitors on the other hand would look to bounce back to winning ways and keep the series alive.
The hosts edged out England with cameos from Andre Russell and skipper Rovman Powell in the opening T20I. The second game was about the Windies recovering from 54/4 to post 176 before trapping England in a web of spin. Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie’s combined figures of 3/33 in eight overs meant that England had too much to get in the death overs 31 off 12 balls and they eventually fell short by 10 runs.
The Windies are clicking well as a team and the same could be inferred through Powell’s words. “I try to lead from the front. I put that additional responsibility to do well. I think when you look at the squad everyone can play. When a guy misses out they don't feel bad he expressed at the second T20I’s post-match presentation. Powell & Co.
What to expect: The surface in the second game of the series proved to be a good batting track although the slower bowlers and those who varied their pace well were also able to thrive. Expect more of the same. West Indies With form and momentum on their side West Indies are unlikely to make any changes to their XI barring a last-minute injury as they look to seal.
The series although there could be a toss-up between Gudakesh Motie and Romario Shepherd depending on the nature of the pitch. England would understandably be pondering over a change or two. Ben Duckett is likely to slot back into the XI with Moeen Ali likely to make way. Reece Topley could also be back at the expense of Chris Woakes.
