Preview:
West Indies will square off with England in the 3rd T20I. West Indies should be proud of their performances in the 2nd T20I, though they lost the match by a run. An incredible display of hitting from Romario Shepherd and Akeal Hosein almost won the game for them. They have got a good bunch of all-rounder’s who are all match-winners in their own aspect. They are aiming to make a comeback in the 3rd T20I.
England, on the other hand, didn’t expect the massive fireworks from lower-order West Indian batters in the second T20I, although they held their nerves to claim a one-run win in the end to level the series 1-1.
