First T20 preview: England v West Indies

England will look to build on their 3-0 sweep of the ODI series when they host the West Indies again in T20 action at the Riverside Ground in Durham this Friday night.

Harry Brook has made a perfect start to his tenure as England’s white-ball captain, and he will be hoping to keep that momentum rolling into the shorter format.

The Brits lose a couple of notable players from the ODI series, including star batter Joe Root and emerging wicketkeeper Jamie Smith, but white-ball specialist Phil Salt is a handy addition to an otherwise stable-looking squad.

Meanwhile, the West Indies have a point to prove after falling flat in the 50-over games.

Veteran allrounders Andre Russell and Jason Holder are welcome additions to the squad for the T20 leg of the tour, while Romario Shepherd is available after missing the ODIs due to Indian Premier League commitments.

Not surprisingly, top cricket betting sites have England as firm favorites at -256.41 to win the series opener in Chester-le-Street, with the visitors offering some value as -108.7 outsiders.

England v West Indies betting predictions – First T20

The West Indies look a lot stronger with the likes of Holder, Russell and Shepherd on deck, but how big an impact will they have against a motivated England side? The hosts are flying after their ODI success and will be determined to do something similar in the T20 games. Back England at -256.41 with Stake.com.

While there is no certainty Ben Duckett will play — England are spoilt for choice at the top of the order — he will offer decent value in top-scorer betting if he does. This guy is just a reliable performer across all formats and might be overs at +400 with Stake.com.

Sherfane Rutherford missed the start of the ODI series due to the IPL, but he slotted in for the last game of the series and stood up with a run-a-ball 70. The Guyanese allrounder looks in decent touch and offers good value at +460 with Stake.com to top score for the West Indies.
