MATCH PREVIEW     

England made a strong comeback in the second game of the three-match series to level it 1-1. It was a clinical show for the visitors as their bowling attack restricted West Indies to low scores, and the batsmen quickly chased it, winning the game by 6 wickets. The odds are high for England, and they will look to grab the series in this game. West Indies' inconsistency with the bat over the last 12 months haunted them in the previous game. Most cricket betting apps consider England the favorites in this game, and the hosts must punch above their weight to win.
