1. L Livingston – In the absence of Jos Buttler, Livingston is leading the side against the West Indies.
Star hard-hitting all-rounder has a massive chance to showcase his all-round performance against West Indies.
West Indies struggles against spin a lot which we have seen in the Srilanka series as well.
Thus, Livingston has a massive chance of success in this series.
2. S Hetmyer – He is back in the squad and on slow pitches of West Indies, he is a very reliable player.
His hitting abilities are very good which we have seen in the IPL as well.

3. S Hope – He is the most reliable player in West Indies Cricket team but failed to perform in series against Srilanka.
If West Indies wants to challenge the England side, then Shai Hope needs to perform at his highest level.
4. W Jacks – West Indies has a decent amount of left-handers in their team which opens the option of Will Jacks to bowl off-spin against that batters.
He will open the innings as well with P Salt which makes him a very reliable option for the England National Team to trust him as an all-rounder.
Injury Updates
Jos Buttler is out of Injury and Livingston is going to lead the English side in this series.
A Athazane is also out of the squad from West Indies and S Hetymer has replaced him.
Pitch and Weather Conditions
The Pitch at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is a balanced wicket with assistance to the batters.
The team has a strong batting line-up and can post score near 300 as well which in return is difficult to chase as this pitch favors spinners as well.
In T20I Matches, spinners also did well and grabbed wickets.
Thus this wicket is a neutral wicket with assistance to all the departments.
Talking about the weather conditions, there are some chances of Rain in this match.
As this is an ODI match, rain can interrupt the match but the fear of losing the overs is very less.
Hopefully, the match is going to take place.
West Indies vs England Prediction
England is the favorite to win this match as recently in Head to Head they have played well.
Though England has some new names in the squad, still they have an edge over the Home side.
England should win this match comfortably as their bowling attack is very lethal.
