WI vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For 1st T20I

West Indies (WI) are set to host England (ENG) in a five-match T20I series starting on Wednesday, December 13. The visitors got off to a poor start to the tour as they lost the three-match ODI series 2-1 to a team that failed to qualify for the 2023 World Cup. Windies will be aiming to continue their form in the shorter format, whereas Jos Buttler and Co. will be looking for revenge.

With the 2024 T20 World Cup less than six months away, that too in West Indies, it will be crucial preparation for both teams. The Rovman Powell-led side will have the presence of veteran all-rounder Andre Rusell, who is returning to international cricket after a long break. Both the teams are known for their attacking game so expect an exciting encounter in Barbados.

WI vs ENG: Pitch Report

The pitch at Kensington Oval offers a favourable pitch for batting and the captain who wins the toss is likely to opt to bat first. If the batters manage to get a good total, then half the team's job is done as the opposition will be under pressure in the second innings. Spinners may get some assistance in the middle phase of the game.
