Defending champions England and co-hosts West Indies will be taking on each other in the 42nd game of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The game is scheduled to be played at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia on Thursday (June 20).
It will be the second Super 8s game of the ongoing competition with USA and South Africa facing each other in the first. West Indies and England have qualified for the Super 8s in very contrasting fashions.
While West Indies progressed ahead of the group stage in a very dominating fashion by winning all of their four games, England were in deep trouble and needed help from their bitter rivals Australia to avoid a first-round exit.
West Indies began their campaign with a hard-fought 5-wicket win over Papua New Guinea before beating Uganda by 134 runs. It was followed by a 13-run win over New Zealand that sealed their spot in the Super 8s. In their last game, the co-hosts thrashed Afghanistan by 104 runs to end the group stage in style.
England, on the other hand, started their campaign with a washed out game against Scotland before suffering a loss against Australia. Their chances of making it to the Super 8s were hanging by a thread before they revived their campaign with an 8-wicket win over Oman. In their final group game, England beat Namibia by 41 runs to seal their progress ahead of the group stage.

ENV vs WI Dream11 Prediction Today:
Captaincy picks:
Nicholas Pooran:
Nicholas Pooran has been in red-hot form in the ongoing T20 World Cup and will be eyeing another impactful outing in the upcoming game. He is West Indies’ leading run-scorer in the competition. In 4 games so far, he has scored 164 runs at a strike-rate of over 150. He has also hit the most number of sixes (90) in T20s this year. The southpaw will be looking to make the most of his form.
Phil Salt:
Phil Salt has not really managed to live up to the expectations in the tournament so far and the upcoming game will be a good opportunity for him to make amends. In three games so far, he has registered scores of 37, 12 and 11 and will be looking to score big. When England had visited West Indies last year for a T20I series, Salt had scored two centuries and the defending champions will be hoping for a good show from their opener.
Top picks:
Jos Buttler:
England will be relying heavily on their captain Jos Buttler to give them a fast and good start at the top of the order. After playing knocks of 42 and 24 against Australia and Oman respectively, he was out for a duck against Namibia in the previous game and will be looking to bounce back in the upcoming game.
Akeal Hosien:
Akeal Hosien is one of best performers with the ball in the ongoing tournament. The left-arm spinner has made life difficult for the opposition batters with his spin bowling. In 4 games so far, he has picked up 9 wickets including a 5-wicket haul.
