ENG vs WI 3rd T20I – Can West Indies End on a Winning Note?

England and West Indies go head-to-head one last time tonight in the third and final T20I of the series at the Ageas Bowl. With England already having wrapped up the series 2-0, there’s no trophy on the line—but after the madness of the second T20I, no one’s complaining. Fans just want another belter of a game. 

In that second match, England batted first—and boy, did they tee off. It was a show of brute power, with 15 sixes raining down and a stiff total of 196 posted on the board. Jos Buttler once again led from the front, following up his match-winning 96 in the opener with a solid 47 off 36. Harry Brook chipped in with 34 from 20, but it was the middle-order mayhem from Jacob Bethell and Tom Banton that really set the tone. The young pair smashed 56 runs off just 21 balls between them, sending England to what looked like a winning total. Looked like, until West Indies nearly turned the game on its head. 

Their line-up is packed with power-hitters, and it was only a matter of time before a few of them caught fire. Rovman Powell lit the spark, taking 20 off Liam Dawson’s final over to swing momentum the visitors' way. And then came absolute carnage in the 19th over—Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd unleashed fury on Adil Rashid, smashing him for five sixes out of six balls. The only delivery that didn’t go to the fence was a scrambled single from Holder, which even drew mock boos from the fired-up West Indian fans. 

Mark Wood stepped up to douse the flames in the final over, finishing with impressive figures of 2 for 25. He ran out Shepherd, and though Roston Chase hammered his first and only ball for six, West Indies fell just short, ending on 196 for 6—just three runs short of England’s score. It was enough for England to seal the series with a game to spare. But if that clash is anything to go by, tonight's final game promises more fireworks. No pressure, just pride—and hopefully, another absolute cracker. 

Head-to-Head: England vs West Indies - Who Holds the Advantage?

If we talk about head to head record, then both the teams have faced each other 37 times in which England has won 18 matches whereas West indies have won 18 matches. In such a situation, England will have an advantage in this match because they will be playing on their home ground.

The matches between the two teams are always tough. England's team is looking in good form but West Indies' main batsmen need to take responsibility as they are getting out after getting set in previous ODI series vs England. For England, both openers Ben Duckett and Jamie Smith have looking in good touch.

Total Matches Played: 37

England Wins: 18

West Indies Wins: 18

No Result/Abandoned Matches: 1

Despite England having the firepower of Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith, Harry Brook(c), Jos Buttler(w), Tom Benton, Jacob Bethell, and Will Jacks, West Indies' all-around strength and explosive players Andre Russel, Roston Chase and Romario Shepherd, give them the upper hand in this head-to-head contest. However, it’s always been a close battle.

Predictions: Who Will Win the Match?

As far as fantasy cricket is concerned, West Indies might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Evin Lewis, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope(w/c), Amir Jangoo, Justin Greaves, and Roston Chase, but England's balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders like Will Jacks and Jamie Overton make them a formidable opponent. Edgbaston, Birmingham, with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest.

Injury Update:
Currently no injury concerns from both sides.
