West Indies and England are set to lock horns in the third game of their ongoing five-match T20I series on Saturday, December 16. The National Cricket Stadium in St George's, Grenada, will host the clash.
England, led by Jos Buttler, are in all sorts of trouble, having lost both their matches thus far in the series. Currently in a must-win position, the visiting team somehow needs to make a comeback to stay alive.
The visitors had a decent chance of winning the second game. However, they lost by the slim margin of 10 runs. Sam Curran scored 50 off 32 balls to give his team hope, but his knock eventually went in vain.
West Indies, on the other hand, have momentum on their side. Brandon King scored an unbeaten 82 in the previous match. He was also involved in a partnership of 80 runs with Rovman Powell, who scored 50.
Andre Russell picked up three wickets in the first match before registering his worst T20I figures of 4-0-66-0 in the second game. The all-rounder will be desperate to make amends as West Indies look to take an invincible 3-0 lead.
