The reigning champions England will square off against the West Indies in the 42nd match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia on Wednesday. West Indies were clinical in the group stage as they won all of their four matches and will aim to continue the good show in the Super 8.
England, on the other hand, was at the elimination gates but they registered convincing wins against Namibia and Oman to make it to the next round. The Jos Buttler-led team is always a dangerous team and they will want to come up with more consistent performances.
