EN-W vs WI-W Dream 11 Prediction: Best Dream11 team for today’s England vs West Indies Women T20I Match

EN-W vs WI-W Dream 11 Prediction: England look to emulate the same clinical ODI performances in the opening T20 at Northampton

England Vs West Indies Women First T20I Best Dream 11 Team

After the horrendous time they endured in the ODI Series, the West Indies women cricket is shifting to the shortest format of the day come Tuesday. Starting today night, they and England will be clashing heads in a three match T20 series, one which promises to engross us in a resounding brand of series.

For West Indies, the ODI series came with massive ramifications. Not only were they swept 3-0 by England but comprehensively dominated in all the matches. Registering momentous wins across the series, England made the most of an irresponsible and maligned West Indian batting unit, one which was left blaming only themselves for their fiasco.

Hosts England will be on the other hand quietly confident of registering another series win here. They were exemplary with the bat, intertwining sublime and graceful bowling performances along with them to deliver clinical team performances. Not only did they trounce West Indies significantly but also went onto seal their berth in the ICC 2021 ODI World Cup alongside Australia.

For all the one-sided nature of the ODI series, the T20 one promises to be of a different and more competitive nature. The laurels of West Indies as one of the most brilliant T20 sides in the circuit can’t be taken away from them despite their howler show in the 50 over format, They’ll be hurting and hungry after the recent debacle and expect them punching above their weight in the series opener today.

Probable Winner

We are in for a humdinger. Two of the finest sides in the women cricketing fraternity, these are two countries who leave no stone unturned when it comes to the shortest format of the game. Both are packed with myriad, worldclass performers, player who love taking the onus on themselves to deliver outstanding showings.

Bound to be a high scoring match, especially given the nature of the pitch, England slightly outweigh West Indies given the stability in their batting order. They have batsmen right from the opening order to number 6 who can all come in and wield the bat fruitfully while West Indies on current form are too dependent on a couple of names. This should see England win the match and take a crucial 1-0 lead in the series.

Wicket-Keepers for EN-W vs WI-W Dream 11

There was hardly any pondering over who to pick over here. English wicket-keeper Sarah Taylor regaled us with some stupendous batting performances and we unanimously pick her to play her goods behind the wickets and with the bat.

Batting-Order for EN-W vs WI-W Dream 11

Runs are bound to cascade on a batting conducive Northampton surface and given this narrative, we concurrently pick up 4 batters. We just aren’t too confident about West Indies fortunes at the moment despite the immense skill set they posses and are going to play safe for the opening match by getting in only Nation from their side.

In coming from England is a trip which made us stand and appreciate the genius they were doling out on the field. Knight, Wyatt and Beaumont all find a spot in our side and rightfully so, given the massive abilities they enraptured in throughout the ODI series.

All-Rounders for EN-W vs WI-W Dream 11

This is where we are compensating our side with the West Indian player with both Hayley Mathews and Henry coming in for us. These are two players who love taking centrestage for their country, ensuring they deliver a seamless blend of performances with both the bat and ball and we are going to indulge ourselves in the duo.

Just the one player from the English outfit but a name who in herself speaks volumes. Its Natalie Sciver, a mainstay of the home side’s line-up who is making a foray for us here.

Bowling-Order for EN-W vs WI-W Dream 11

Having dismissed West Indies on all the occasions the two sides met in the middle, Ecclestone and Shrubsole were responsible of the majority of the wickets. They exposed a glaring weakness in the visiting side’s batting order, their inability to play the rank turners and this sees us bring in both of them.

We have the one pick coming in from West Indies as well with Connell finding a place in our side.

Captain And Vice-Captain

We see England piling on the runs here and that sees us opt for Sarah Taylor as the captain while Natalie Sciver has been handed over the responsibility of vice-captain.
