West Indies form

There are some concerns over Evin Lewis fitness as he was limping during the last seven overs of the last match, but he should be fit for this match. West Indies would look to include him in the playing eleven after he had a good time with the bat in the first ODI.

Keacy Carty, Shai Hope, and Sherfane Rutherford played some magnificent innings in the second ODI. Rutherford became the first Barbadian to score four successive ODI half-centuries. Carty was reckless in the last game and that aggression is likely to rub off on his batting as well.

Even though Gudakesh Motie performed poorly with the ball during the second ODI, West Indies still hold an ace in pacer Matthew Forde, who performed a spectacular debut and devastated the top order of England during an ODI match in Barbados in last December

West Indies likely playing XI

Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (c) (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Shimron Hetmyer, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph

England recent form

England won their match in spectacular style on Saturday in Antigua and gave people a match to remember as many spectacular events were observed. Attention now is at whether interim captain Liam Livingstone can take his team further in the win and the series on Wednesday. To do this, Livingstone may be tactical in his bowling moves, as he was the last game by using nine different bowlers. Not surprisingly, the end result has been a win both times they used this tactic. On the other hand, Jofra Archer has been the most economical player for England in the series and is quite likely to look for an opportunity here as one of his home games is at Barbados. Additionally, Phil Salt, Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran, and Liam Livingstone all enter the following match in good nick having scored between 52 and 124 runs in the last ODI.

England Predicted Playing XI

Phil Salt (wk), Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingstone (c), Sam Curran, Dan Mousley, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Saqib Mahmood, John Turner
