ENG vs WI Super 12 Match 14 Predictions and Betting Tips

England will take on West Indies in the second game of Super 12 of the ICC World T20 2021. This premium high-voltage clash between ENG and WI is going to be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on October 23, Saturday. To make the weekend mood even better, I bear an opportunity to make cash from the ENG vs WI match. Therefore, I have accumulated the top betting tips from the ENG vs WI Super 12 Group 1 encounter.

England are all set to lock horns with a rusty West Indies, who are also the defending champions. The reason why I referred them to be rusty is simply because of the lethargic attitude with which they played their two warm-up fixtures against Pakistan and Afghanistan. It never really looked like they are the reigning champions and have arrived to challenge the rest of the world to retain that ICC World T20 silverware. Kieron Pollard and co. were outplayed in both warm-up games by Pakistan and Afghanistan respectively.

England, on the other hand, are the 50-over world champions but they haven’t let the wound of ICC World T20 2016 heal. It was inflicted upon by Carlos Brathwaite in the last over which was being bowled by Ben Stokes. Can England come up clutch and exact their revenge? I believe they will! While I let England hatch plans to decimate West Indies in the next game, let me take you through the best of betting tips from the ENG vs WI head-to-head Super 12 clash.

ENG vs WI Team Bets:

The aggregators have been kind enough to share the markets for such intriguing fixtures. For a moment, I thought they must have forgotten to share them with us but eventually they did. Here are two absolute jaffa of team betting tips from the ENG vs WI Super 12 Group 1 head-to-head battle.

England to win

You must be thinking I have completely lost my mind as I am going to put my money on England tomorrow. Yes, West Indies are the reigning champions of the ICC T20 World Cup. Yes, West Indies have won all their 5 matches against England in T20 World Cups. But they are all for the history books! I believe in recent form and the Three Lions have their scales heavier than the Windies.

The last time these two teams played a three-match T20I series, England literally decimated West Indies in their own backyard by winning 3-0. Not only did they win those three matches (in 2018-19) but England bundled West Indies out for 71 and 45 in two of the matches! Can you believe that? England won one of the two warm-up matches and they did put up a fight against India. On the other hand, West Indies were humiliated by Pakistan and Afghanistan respectively in their warm-up games. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.69 for an England victory in the ENG vs WI T20 World Cup match prediction.

Team with top batter - England

This was rather easy once again and it did not take me mch time to choose the tip from the rack. England batters have been ruling the charts in T20 international cricket; rather I should say in white-ball cricket as a whole. Yes, of course there are the Indian batsmen along with Pakistan’s opening duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan but England are close enough in that race. Dawid Malan is the number 1-ranked batsman in the world currently and he has an average of 43.19 in T20Is. Moeen Ali has been striking the ball cleaner than ever and has scored 43* and 37* in the last two T20 matches. Jonny Bairstow has an average of 40.38 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium as well. Things don’t look so awesome for West Indies, on the other hand. Chris Gayle is woeful with the bat right now and I don’t see him getting an opportunity this time around. Andre Russell is struggling with a hamstring injury and is definitely not fit fully. The only two batsmen I can see scoring some runs are Nicholas Pooran and Shimron Hetmeyer, as the latter had a very good IPL season with Delhi Capitals. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.69 for England to be the team with the top batsman in the ENG vs WI Super 12 match prediction.

ENG vs WI Player Bets:

The only player bet that I felt was worthy of being mentioned in my betting tips today is here. Jonny Bairstow’s consistency has forced my hands to put him on this list. And I am quite certain he is going to shine again during the ENG vs WI head-to-head clash tomorrow evening.

Jonny Bairstow to score over 23.5 runs

The only batsman I personally like to rely on from this Three Lions batting lineup is Jonny Bairstow. He will not score those big runs frequently but he is the kind of batsman who would score those quick-fire 30s and the 40s, just what the team needs in the most of the T20 scenarios. Overall, Bairstow has played 57 matches and has 1143 runs under his belt at an average of 27.87.

The right-handed batsman scored 49 and 30 runs against India and New Zealand respectively in the warm-up fixtures ahead of the start of the ICC World T20 2021 Super 12s. While he is playing at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Bairstow has an average of 40.38 in T20 cricket. The last time he took on the Windies, the classy batsman registered a score of 37 runs. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Jonny Bairstow to score over 23.5 runs in the ENG vs WI World T20 match prediction.
