England Champions vs West Indies Champions Match 5th Preview

EDC vs WIC Both Teams’ Last 5 Matches Record

England Champions

The journey of England Champions in the tournament has been mixed so far. Their first match was cancelled due to rain, while the second match was a very close thriller against Pakistan Champions. They fought hard till the last over of the match, but lost by just 5 runs. They restricted Pakistan to 160, with Chris Tremlett and Liam Plunkett bowling tight. In the chase too, Phil Mustard (58) and Ian Bell (51*) gave a solid base, but could not give the finishing touch. Top-order players like James Vince and Cook went out under pressure. Their batting unit is experienced, but still some intent and acceleration is missing. The bowling department has given a very disciplined performance, but breakthroughs are lacking in the middle overs. The team is currently in the fifth position, with 1 loss and 1 no-result. But looking at the form, it seems that the team has depth and full potential for a strong comeback.

West Indies Champions

The West Indies Champions campaign so far has been disappointing. Their first match was against South Africa Champions, in which the match was reduced to just 11 overs due to rain, and then after the tie, South Africa won in the bowl-out. In this shortened format, WI made 79/5, with Lendl Simmons (28) and Chadwick Walton (27*) showing some fightback, but experienced names like Chris Gayle, Pollard and Bravo flopped. The bowling was quite tight to defend the chase – especially Sulieman Benn (2-0-6-1) and Cottrell (3-0-16-2) – but JP Duminy pulled the game in the last overs. The team is currently in the last position of the table and their confidence seems low. Captain Chris Gayle himself is not in form and no major contributor has emerged in the middle-order so far. Bowling was decent, but until the batting backbone is not formed, winning will be difficult. The next match is against England – and if West Indies have to stay alive in the tournament, then complete performance is necessary in this match.

County Ground, Northampton Pitch Report

The pitch of Northampton is considered quite good for batting. The ball comes on the bat well and it is easy to score runs. But bowlers who pay attention to line-length can also get wickets. Fast bowlers get some help, but spinners can also be of use if they bowl intelligently. The team batting first here gets a little advantage, especially if the score is 180+.
