The 42nd T20 World Cup 2024 will be between the West Indies and England. After winning all of their games in the group stage, the West Indies are in the Super 8 stage with a perfect record. They were the winners in Group C due to their victories over Papua New Guinea, Uganda, New Zealand, and Afghanistan. The two-time winners will want to keep winning and beat the current champs.
Meanwhile, England almost didn't make it out of the game. So, they made it by winning their last game against Namibia and qualifying. England started their season by drawing with Scotland and losing to Australia. In their comeback, they beat Oman easily and earned their spot in the Super 8. Now, as the defending winners, they want to show how strong they are.
The West Indies have won more head-to-head matches than England, winning 17 out of the 29 games played. Regrettably, neither team has any injured players, allowing for the selection of all their players.
At St. Lucia's Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, the game will happen. Through three games, the pitch has favoured the team that bats first, winning two of the three games. The average first-inning score is 199, and the highest goal chased is 181. Given how good both teams are at hitting, we can expect another high-scoring game.
England team : lineup includes Philip Salt, Jos Buttler (c and wk), Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, and Reece Topley.
West Indies' likely XI includes : Brandon King, Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Roston Chase, Rovman Powell (c), Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Russell, Obed McCoy/Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, and Gudakesh Motie.
Supporters can look forward to an intriguing match between two strong teams in the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup 2024.
