ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction: This will be a heavyweight clash in Super Eight as England and West Indies are set to exchange blows in the T20 World Cup match at The Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, also known as the Beausejour Cricket Ground on early Thursday morning. The super-8 match no-2 will start at 06:00 AM (IST) on Thursday, June 20, 2024.
The Caribbean team has been perfect leading up to this game, winning all matches, while the English team had to rely on the result between Australia vs Scotland match to qualify to the next stage. Current form certainly makes West Indies favorite in this clash.
Before facing Afghanistan in the last group match, West Indies had already sealed their spot in Super Eight. But that match was billed as their toughest assignment considering Rashid Khan’s team dispatched every opponent with ease, including New Zealand. However, West Indies came out from that match, an acid test, with flying colors, absolutely mauling the Afghanistan in all the departments. The margin of win was 104 runs, which is big even for an ODI match. That was a completely dominant performance.
England will have to be wary of the West Indies team. More so, because the defending champions have been no where near their best in the T20 World Cup. Though their opening match against was washed out, Scotland did make the mockery of their bowling line-up after posting 90/0 in 10 overs. The following game was a bigger test, and they failed after losing by 36 runs against Australia. They were on the brink of elimination but were saved after Aussies beat Scotland in their last match.
England can’t rely on other teams’ result. This is the stage where the challengers will be separated by the imposters.

ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction Injury and availability News
England
- England made couple of changes for the match against Namibia. Sam Curran came in for Will Jacks, while Chris Jordan replaced Mark Wood in the team.
- Mark Wood will definitely make a return to England’s XI vs West Indies. That means, Chris Jordan would have to contend with a place on the bench.
West Indies
- Obed McCoy was given the chance to shine against Afghanistan, and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands, picking up three wickets.
- So the West Indies team management has to make a big call: whether to keep McCoy or play Romario Shepherd.
TOP Picks For ENG vs WI Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- Andre Russell: “A premium all-rounder who is in red-hot form this year. He had a brilliant IPL with both bat and ball and has seamlessly carried that momentum into the T20 World Cup. His strike rate in T20Is this year is over 204. Simply incredible.
- Phil Salt: The 27-year-old has had a wonderful 2024 as well. He helped KKR reach the surreal heights this season and remains in great touch for England. One more reason to pick him up either as captain or vice-captain in Dream11 Fantasy Cricket teams is that he averages 45 at a strike-rate of over 185 in West Indies.
- Nicholas Pooran: West Indies’ vice-captain missed out on a deserved hundred against Afghanistan after getting run-out on 98. But by then, he did enough damage to Rashid Khan and his players. Pooran was simply outstanding, a notch above rest of the players in WI vs AFG match. He poses the biggest threat to England’s chances in this match.
- Jos Buttler: The England captain doesn’t need any introduction at all. He is a pure match winner, a game changer and a one-man show at times. Buttler a threat to any bowling line up.
- Jonny Bairstow: When Buttler got out early, Bairstow took charge and laid the marker down with a quick-fire 31 runs off just 18 balls. If he gets going, then the opponents are at the mercy of his batting. Bairstow shouldn’t be overlooked at all.
Vice-Captain Options:
- Johnson Charles: A bit inconsistent but when he gets going, he can take the game away from the opponent. The 35-year-old has two ducks and scores of 43 and 44 as well. He can be a game-changer.
- Jofra Archer: Back to full fitness and looks in great touch as well. Archer has picked up 8 wickets, including five in this world cup, since coming back from injury. He is a solid lower-order batsman as well.
- Alzarri Joseph: He has taken nine wickets in this world cup, and that shows the 27-year-old pacer is in good form for West Indies. He is worth the shot in ENG vs WI fantasy cricket teams.
- Moeen Ali: Can impact the game with both bat and ball. He is batting with intent and aggression these days.
- Akeal Hosein: West Indies’ trump card in bowling. He can bowl in the powerplays and at the death, and takes wickets as well. The 31-year-old spinner has so far taken 8 wickets in this World Cup.
Players worth considering
- Gudakesh Motie: He has taken nine wickets in this world cup.
- Adil Rashid: England’s main spinner. He has picked up five wickets in this world cup.
- Harry Brook: Scored 47 runs off 20 balls in the last match. Can do the same in this game as well.
- Liam Livingstone: Can hit runs at a quick rate. A good bowling option as well.
- Chris Jordan: England’s go-to-bowler during death overs.
