West Indies vs England 1st T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report and Live Streaming Details

West Indies are set to host England for a multi-format series. The tour consists of a five-match T20I series followed by a three-Test series. The first T20I will be played on January 22 at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.

West Indies were part of a recently-concluded ODI series against Ireland. They were disappointing in the ODI series, losing 2-1 even after taking a 1-0 lead. Kieron Pollard will continue to lead the side in the shortest format and will be eager to turn the tables around. They will need to be on their toes against England, who have been one of the best white-ball sides over the last few years.

England have had a torrid time in international cricket recently. They were thrashed 4-0 in the recently-concluded Ashes series down under. Eoin Morgan's men will hope to give their fans something to smile about by defeating the West Indies in the upcoming T20I series.
