ENG vs WI 1st T20I: Star-studded West Indies aim to challenge England
Turning their attention to the shortest format, England and West Indies are set to face off in the first T20I of a three-match series on Friday at Riverside Ground. England enter the series brimming with confidence, having completed a comprehensive whitewash in the preceding three-match ODI series.
In the final ODI match on Tuesday, England secured a 7-wicket (DLS) victory over West Indies, completing a 3-0 series sweep. With the T20 World Cup on the horizon, England will be eager to translate their ODI success into the T20I format of the game.
