Show Preview
The rain gods are looking favourably on this one. With a top of 18 degrees and pockets of sunshine expected, as well as less than 10 percent chance of precipitation forecasted, tonight’s blockbuster clash between tournament favourites England and darkhorses the West Indies promises to be a mouthwatering battle which is sure to provide some high octane cricket. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog from 7:30pm AEST.
Both England and the West Indies have had powerful, emphatic starts to their world cup campaigns and have rightly staked their claim to show why they’re tournament frontrunners in the 2019 edition.
A minor hiccup against Pakistan, where England narrowly lost by just 14 runs and a thrilling last over defeat to Australia by 15 runs for the West Indies should not dampen either team’s bullish confidence, as their other clinical victorious performances have shown they have the firepower and tactical nous to win.
Determining a winner from tonight’s clash of heavyweights will be tricky, as both teams mirror each other evenly in terms of batting strength and fast bowling depth.
Where England has the slight upper hand is in spin bowling; both wristspinner Adil Rashid and fingerspinner Moeen Ali have proven to be effective at slowing the run rate in the middle overs and taking those key wickets at pivotal times.
The West Indies do not have that option; Ashley Nurse is nothing more than a part-timer and is yet to turn a ball.
Despite this, the likely return of Andre Russell to the West Indies line up is sure to send a few shivers down England’s spine.
Dangerman Dre Rus is already motoring at a treacherous strike of 136.36 in the tournament so far. Expect some big blows from the Jamaican all-arounder if he gets going.
Prediction
On paper England certainly has a more settled and balanced side and have been clinical in their victories against South Africa and Bangladesh, and you would naturally expect them to see this one through.
However there is something special about this resurgent West Indies team and the calypso Caribbean flair of old has appeared in brief patches in the way they play.
My heart says West Indies tonight, I believe they’ll cause an upset.
Catch us for all the action tonight on The Roar with our live blog, starting at 7:30pm AEST.
