England vs West Indies Todays’ Match Prediction

  • England vs. West Indies Win Probability: ENG (89%), WI (11%)
  • In the last five Test matches between both teams, the West Indies have won one, England have won two, and two matches ended in draws.
  • The last time the West Indies won a Test series in England was way back in 1988.
  • England will play without Stuart Broad for the first time since his retirement, and this series will also be the last time we see James Anderson bowl in international cricket.
  • England's squad is well-balanced with a mix of youth and experience, and has all their bases covered.
  • The West Indies have a young group of wily fast bowlers who can rattle up any batting lineup in seam-friendly conditions.
  • The pitch at Lord’s, London, has always favoured the bowlers. Teams winning the toss prefer to bat first at this venue.
England vs West Indies Match Prediction

The last time the West Indies played in England, they lost the test series (2-1). Also, the visitors haven't won a test series in England since 1988. On the other hand, the hosts recently drew the Test series against Australia at home.

With the likes of Joe Root, Ben Stokes, James Anderson, and Chris Woakes in the squad, England will back themselves to defeat a young and inexperienced West Indies. We at CBA are backing England to win the series 2-1 and definitely win the 1st Test at the Lords’.

Key Players

England

  • Joe Root: When you take only the active players into consideration, Root is the world's leading runscorer (11,736 runs) in Test matches, while against the West Indies, he's amassed 1,222 runs in 14 matches. The former captain will have his task cut out against a wily West Indian pace attack that rattled up the Aussies in their own backyard. Root has scored 6,092 runs in 72 matches in England, and he is also closing in on becoming the all-time highest run-getter for his team.
  • Ben Stokes: The English skipper and one of the most destructive all-rounders in the longest format, Stokes has an assignment at hand vs. the West Indies, especially after losing the Test series against India. To date, he has scored 1,147 runs and picked up 38 wickets in 15 Tests against the West Indies, which says a lot about the kind of impact he has had.
  • Chris Woakes: He will be key to England’s success as they look to build a new bowling attack after James Anderson’s farewell Test at Lord’s this week. Woakes, in home conditions, has picked up 113 wickets and scored 1,031 runs in 28 matches. He can contribute with both bat and ball and is key to his team's chances against an unpredictable West Indies outfit.

West Indies

  • Kraigg Brathwaite: The West Indies captain will have to lead his team from the front with the bat as most of the other batsmen in the squad are on their first tour to England. Brathwaite also has a very good record against the hosts in Test matches (1,124 runs in 15 matches), while in England, he's scored 459 runs in six matches.
  • Alzarri Joseph: The leader of the pace attack in the absence of Kemar Roach, Alzarri Joseph has picked up 23 wickets in nine matches against the hosts, but his record in England has been below average, with only three wickets in as many matches. Joseph will look to step up and produce match-winning spells, considering how good he has been in recent times.
  • Jason Holder: The former Test captain has picked up 37 wickets and scored 671 runs in 14 Tests against the hosts, whereas playing in England, he has scored 200 runs and taken 18 wickets in six Test matches. Holder is a valuable addition to the Windies squad in terms of his experience and ability to contribute with both bat and ball.
