England will take on the West Indies in the third of the three-match T20I series. This article provides details about the West Indies Playing 11 vs England for the third match of the series.
West Indies Playing 11 vs England- 3rd T20I, West Indies tour of England 2025:
Openers: Johnson Charles, Evin Lewis
Windies will continue to open the innings with Johnson Charles and Evin Lewis in the final game of the ENG vs WI three-match T20I series.
Charles-Lewis pair haven’t been able to click together will look to get things right in the final outing of their tour of England.
Your daily dose of cricket!
The failure of the opening partnership is one of the reasons why the West Indies have not been able to post an above-par total or chase a score in the two games so far.
Lewis would be itching to make a significant contribution in the final game of the tour after getting out for a duck on the first ball of the match.
Charles, on the other hand, has looked in good touch and will look to prolong his innings, something which he fell short of doing in the second match.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Shai Hope (c & wk), Roston Chase, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd
One of the positives for WI in the last game was how the middle-order batters controlled the game from over number seven to fifteen.
The likes of captain Shai Hope, along with Jhonsom Charles and former captain Rovman Powell, laid the platform for the incoming batters to unleash in the final five overs.
The lower middle order batters, namely Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd, did just that by hitting 75 runs in the last four overs.
The WI management would expect the batters to keep up the good work they did and replicate the same on Tuesday.
Bowlers: Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph
One of the issues that the visitors have faced in the recent past is that the team hasn’t been able to perform well in all three departments of the game simultaneously.
Evidence of which was on show in the first two T20Is, with them failing to chase a target of 189 runs in the first game, followed by not being able to defend 196 runs in the second match.
The main concern for the West Indies has been their fast bowling department, with the trio of Joseph, Holder, and Shepherd leaking plenty of runs in both games.
Captain Shai Hope and the management will have to identify their best bowling combination to give a strong account of what the West Indies is capable of as a team.
Having said that, the Windies would be satisfied by the way the spin duo of Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Moti controlled things with the ball.
