The confidence of winning the ODI series has rubbed on the Windies players in the T20Is as well, where individual brilliance has helped them take a 2-0 lead. Brandon King and Rovman Powell stood up the home side on Thursday, showing calculative and brute hitting, respectively. 

The lack of runs from Nicholas Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer's bat continues to remain an issue. The bowling, on the other hand, has been consistent, with players such as Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein, and Gudakesh Motie keeping the opponents under check.

England's fortunes have remained quite miserable for the past few months, where the players have blown hot and cold. The lack of uniform runs from the top-order has hurt the Three Lions in this series, with several batters failing to convert their starts. 

It has only been the later middle-order players like Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, and Moeen Ali who have put their best foot forward. The bowling only relies on spinners Adil Rashid and Rehan Ahmed, who have been the standout performers thus far. Fast bowlers have not been able to nab wickets, and neither have been disciplined in the lines.

Expect the track to display some wear and tear, and have spin bowlers play a crucial role in the outcome of the match. Batting first remains the most preferred choice, as shot-making in the first half is relatively easier.
