Top Picks for WI vs ENG Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:
WI
Kraigg Brathwaite seems to be batting well. He is the leading scorer of this series and was particularly impressive in the last match where he mustered 216 runs and also picked up 1 wicket.
Nkrumah Bonner was superb in the first game of this Test series. He racked up a fine 123 in the first innings before scoring 38 in the second innings which helped West Indies eke out a draw. He can also contribute with the ball with his leg break bowling.
Jason Holder has a fabulous record at home. The seam-bowling all-rounder is going to be a top vice-captaincy choice. The tall West Indian all-rounder scored 94 runs and picked up four wickets in this Test series so far. He is an impact player and hence, he will be the key for West Indies once again.
Kemar Roach is going to be the spearhead of the West Indies pace attack. He bowled well in both Test matches and picked up seven wickets so far. He has a solid record at home in Test cricket with 166 wickets at an average of 22.15.
