The big guns will be in action on the opening day of the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup 2021 on Saturday, 23 October. The second match of the day will see Kieron Pollard’s West Indies clash with Eoin Morgan’s England at the Dubai International Stadium. Dubai 07:30 PM IST.
Technically, England is a strong contender to win this match. However, his disappointing record against the defending champions, especially in marquee tournaments, is quite poor. England have lost all their five matches against West Indies in the T20 World Cup so far and will try to change the script in this match. However, the white-ball formats have improved by leaps and bounds, as they have outperformed Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the last two T20I series. Entering the 2021 T20 World Cup, England lost to India in the first warm-up game but emerged victorious against New Zealand in the second.
In contrast, West Indies suffered defeats against Pakistan and Afghanistan in the warm-up games. The defending champions have won four of their last 10 T20I matches, with three of those games ending without a result. However, he has achieved extraordinary form and is looking like a major force once again under Pollard’s captaincy.
