After a convincing 106-run victory over Bangladesh, England will be up against a vibrant West Indies unit in their fourth match of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019.

Overview:

England v West Indies

Hampshire Bowl, Southampton
2019 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, Match 19
Friday, 14 June; 10.30am local, 09.30 GMT

After a shocking defeat to Pakistan, England aced every department against Bangladesh, as they first put up 386/6 on board and then bundled them out for 280 in the 49th over. The openers, determined not to fall into the trap of spin bowling, gave a perfect start, as Jason Roy stroked his way to 153. While Stokes has been giving some priceless overs with the ball, Moeen Ali is likely to return in the playing eleven, considering the number of left handers in the West Indies line-up.

On the other hand, the West Indies' bowlers might have lit up the tournament so far but it was the lack of application on the batting front that cost them the game against Australia. Their pacers started well against South Africa too, with Sheldon Cottrell picking up two early wickets, before no further play was possible due to rain interruption. The batsmen will have to step up, to set it up for their bowlers who will be challenged by the never-ending English batting line-up.

Once their very own, now their adversary, Jofra Archer will look to defy Chris Gayle and others, promising an exciting contest within a contest at the Hampshire Bowl on Friday.

Key Players

Eoin Morgan (England): The England captain is yet to produce an innings that would match his stature in the tournament so far. Morgan, who averages 76.25 at the Hampshire Bowl and was the highest run-scorer for England in the ODI series against West Indies earlier this year, might be the biggest threat to his opponents on Friday.

Chris Gayle (West Indies): Chris Gayle had lit up the tournament with a power-packed 50 against Pakistan but could last only till the fifth over against Australia. The Universe Boss relishes batting against England averaging 51.42 against the hosts, contrary to his career average of 38.14 and will look to stamp his authority early on in the innings.

Conditions

It would be a cloudy start to the day which would assist the fast bowlers early on, tempting the captains to field first. The afternoon will see rain becoming a bit showery with some brighter spells developing later.

Squads

England: Eoin Morgan (c), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler (wk), Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, James Vince, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.

West Indies: Jason Holder (c), Fabian Allen, Darren Bravo, Shannon Gabriel, Shimron Hetmyer, Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite, Sheldon Cottrell, Chris Gayle, Shai Hope, Ashley Nurse, Kemar Roach, Oshane Thomas

wicket hauls.

Light rain forecast in the morning, dry in the afternoon, so we should get 100 overs in.
 
Not sure about the wettest but must be the coldest World Cup ever!
 
This could be a cracker!
WI should bowl first and try to get england out for under 230, by bowling bouncers! England are weak at playing bouncers as ireland showed just before wc.
Also, subplot, how will the WI players react to archer? And how will archer respond?
I'm looking forward to this one.
I wish both teams best of luck, but i have a feeling WI might cause an upset!
 
Most epic game of the RR stage potentially.

Been a long time since I’ve seen players don sweaters and play in the cold in ODIs, it’s a good throwback.
 
Just want to see full game of cricket! Desperate times.
 
Rain holding off since last showers so chances of play look good.
 
Who we vouching for as pak fans

As fans of other teams you always want one team to run away and win majority of the games. This will open the tournament up for the other 3 spots. So England it is for fans of other countries.
 
I really like the Windies Attack, Shannon comes back Thomas and cottrell already in form
backup of Holder and Russell Pace pace and some more pace

go Windies go , Smoke them !
 
Pakistan needs West Indies to win.

Come on lads support your brothers just like you all have done as always!

Anyone who thinks England is missing out on a top 4 spot is clueless beyond doubt. Its best for pak if England just cruise and weaken the remaining spots
 
England getting away with a couple of wide deliveries- too high bouncer outside leg stump & full on/outside the markings swinging away...

I just hope the standard is consistent both teams.
 
This is the match I have most looked forward to. England have faster bowlers than WI.
 
As a neutral I've been looking forward to it. Last hurrah for the Universe Boss...

"New England" in ODI with express bowlers and power hitters are quite a novelty still to me (never really seen them play vs us).

And WI were the first team to shake this cup up with some innovative tactics. Gabriel & Russel & co aren't short of pace & the pitch looks lively.

Game on!
 
Might have to see Woakes off this spell & attack the rest.
 
Guys.

What's better for our chances - ENG or WI win? Can someone tell? Thanks.
 
They same way your batsmen played brainless shots to throw away the match against Australia. Similarly they had no brain in batting against the West Indian pacers.....simple
 
guys this thread about England and WI - stick to topic

Agree. When you watch other matches you realise how brainless our batsmen are and same with the bowlers. Simply bowl test match length and that wud be great
 
Windies getting dealt with.. Proves how fluke the win against Pak was. Sign of a good deal is to perform most of the time or give the opposition a hard time
 
Yep, that's why minimum or no swing for bowlers recently.

Cold means still air, which means more conductive swing conditions. Ball would always swing more in colder conditions.

So, looks like something with the ball.
 
WI looking a few runs short.

I think they'll need 300 to even trouble England. 350 to put a real winning score on.

They are fighting it out - have to give them credit.
 
If west Indies wins today. World Cup will be very serious!!
India, Australia, England, New Zealand and West Indies fighting for 4 spots.
Thriller games it will be.. SA still has chances to come back which will be unbelievable for sure.

Pak, SL, Agf and BD's might upset the above nation which will make world Cup more interesting.

England bowlers always strike with the new ball, that makes all the difference between a 300 score and 350+.
 
England keeping control here, good contributions from Rooooooot.

Woakes, Archer and Wood have sixteen overs left between them.
 
West Indies is playing root as like as Saqlain Mustaq! It is good though for us as we play them next
 
Roy cant bat until number 7 as he's been off the field.
 
Brainless batting by the WIs today. Have thrown so many wickets away. Could have easily got 275-295 today but instead they’ll probably end up scoring 230-240 ish.
 
My predicted scoreline is 270. They can still get there. For that they do not even need big boundaries.
 
WI played T20 against Pakistan and won it (Pakistan fell in the trap!) All other teams understand that they have to play 50 overs against them!
 
Not much point in restricting West Indies to a gettable score if the best England batsmen keep limping off injured.
