West Indies vs England Betting Tips & Match Predictions (2022)

West Indies vs England: Overview

England is touring the West Indies for what will be a five-match T20I series. It will commence on January 23, and the final will be played on January 31, 2022.

* Matchdays according to IST

• It will be the first game between the two teams since England left the West Indies bruising and hurting at the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup, bowling them out for a paltry 55 runs.
• The last time these two teams played a bilateral series was in 2019 when England visited the Caribbeans for three T20s. The visitors were clinical that time, winning it 3-0.
• However, it was the West Indies who had prevailed in the final of the 2016 T20 World Cup, defeating England in a nail-biting clash.

All in all, we think the upcoming West Indies vs England series will be yet another cracker of a contest. The men from the Caribbean are usually a formidable T20 outfit; there’s a marked difference in their performance in the shortest format of the game compared to Tests and ODIs.

West Indies vs England Prediction

England is heading to the upcoming series with a young, inexperienced squad, but some of these cricketers have played a lot of domestic T20 cricket. So while they might be untried at the international level, they certainly have the chops.

On the other hand, the West Indies’ poor form continues since their unceremonious ouster from the T20 World Cup last year. Recently, against Pakistan, they were whitewashed in the three-match T20 series 3-0. Yes, they have Pollard, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran, and the likes in their squad, but we don’t see the men from the Caribbean turning around their fortunes anytime soon.

Our prediction is England will win the series 2-1.

However, we’d like to insert our standard health warning here. Cricket is a sport of upsets, and anything can happen on matchday. So, even cricket punditry of the highest quality may not hold. Still, these match prediction sites are excellent at their trade, and you can always turn to them for expert cricket betting tips and predictions.

West Indies vs England Betting: Key Players

From West Indies

1. Kieron Pollard

Even at 34, the West Indies skipper is one of the most valuable T20 players around. He didn’t play against Pakistan, so yes, he hasn’t got the most match practise he would’ve liked leading up to the series. But Pollard’s still a fine cricketer capable of clearing any boundary with ease and chipping in with wickets at vital stages.

2. Brandon King

The 27-year-old has been a good find for West Indies. Against Pakistan, the top-order batsman scored 67 (43) and 43 (21) in the last two games, his average strike rate touching 172. While that was a fruitless attempt, King surely played like one and was probably the only saving grace.

For West Indies vs England betting, watch out for Brandon King in the highest run-getter market.

3. Nicholas Pooran

The 26-year-old ‘keeper-batsman has experience on his side, having played almost 50 T20I games. The Trinidadian is a seasoned campaigner in the shortest format and represents Punjab Kings in the IPL. In the recently concluded series vs Pakistan, Pooran scored 26 (26) and 64 (37) in the last two games.

From England

1. Moeen Ali

He may not be the force he once was, but the 34-year-old Moeen Ali is still a wily cricketer, capable of scoring big knocks and taking important wickets. He recently called time on his Test cricket career to focus on the white-ball format, so we expect him to be fresh and ready to take on the West Indies. Moeen was in red hot form in the Abu Dhabi T10 league, one of the emerging top cricket tournaments, and he’ll hope to carry his momentum forward.

Watch out for the “beard that’s feared”.

2. Eoin Morgan

England’s white-ball skip may not be in his elements, but that could change quickly in the upcoming series. The 35-year-old Morgan is immensely experienced in T20Is (2428 runs in 105 innings at a strike rate of 138 with 14 fifties), had a decent outing in the T10 league, and England will hope for big things from him.

3. Liam Livingstone

The 28-year-old right-hand batter was in top form in the recently concluded T10 league, amassing 309 runs in 13 games at a strike rate of 210, with 2 fifties, 14 boundaries, and 30 sixes. He picked up 11 wickets as well. With his explosive batting and variations in spin bowling, Liam Livingstone should prove to be a vital cog in the English wheel.

For West Indies vs England betting, we’re backing Livingstone from his team to hit the most number of 6s.

West Indies vs England: Team Form

Assessing the form of a team is fundamental if you want to bet on a game. To understand how to bet on cricket, you should scour articles and match reports online to know if your preferred team is in good form heading into a series.

Let’s understand how these two teams have been performing of late:

West Indies

• The team is heading into the upcoming contest after receiving a drubbing at the hands of Pakistan, losing the three-match T20 series 3-0. Yes, there were a few bright spots the West Indies would want to take heart from, like Brandon King stepping up and providing decent starts. But a 3-0 loss hardly ever leaves room for contentment.
• West Indies had performed miserably in last year’s T20 World Cup as well.
• As of writing this report, the West Indies are locked in 1-1 in three ODIs against Ireland. Shai Hope, Roston Chase, and Nicholas Pooran haven’t put up big totals on the board, and that cannot be good news for the team.

England

• England topped its group in the T20 World Cup, 2021, but eventually lost to New Zealand in the semis.
• Since then, the team hasn’t played any T20 game.

NOTE: In their last 5 T20Is, England have won on 4 occasions, and West Indies on just 1. So, on paper at least, the English definitely go into the T20Is a more confident outfit.
