WI vs ENG 5th T20I match prediction 31 Jan 2022

WI vs ENG Match 5 Predictions and Betting Tips

The series is getting more intense as the series is levelled by 2-2 with England pulling a win in the previous outing. West Indies will face England in the fifth T20I on January 31. The match will take place at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. I have the top WI vs ENG match predictions and betting tips for you to win from.

It has been a thoroughly entertaining series so far with twists and turns throughout. West Indies were unable to seal the series last time out, falling to a comprehensive 34-run defeat after managing just 159/5 in reply to England’s 193/6 and now have less than 24 hours to pick themselves up ahead of the 5th and deciding match. Moeen will remain skipper for this deciding encounter as Eoin Morgan remains unavailable whilst he continues to recover from a thigh injury. The firepower of both teams with the bat is impressive and this should prove another high scoring affair. However, the momentum is in England’s favour following their victory less than 24 hours prior to the start of this match, which is likely to work to their advantage. That said, I have brought you the most lucrative best player and team betting tips for the WI vs ENG head-to-head showdown. Let us have a look at them.

WI vs ENG Team Bets:

With the dramatic turn of events in the ongoing series, the 5th T20I will be the deciding match to determine the series winner. I have come up with the best team winning bet for you to choose for the WI vs ENG head-to-head match and you should take a look at it for reaping the best returns.

England to win

The tally is again levelled with the tally reading 2-2 in the five match long series. Well, it is not over for England who made a comeback in the 4th T20I of the series, otherwise dominated by the hosts. England sealed victory by 34 runs in a dominant performance led by Moeen Ali with bat and ball, a half-century and 2-28. Jason Roy set the foundation after a slow start to reach his fifty before Moeen's six-hitting showcase propelled them on. West Indies failed to produce the type of batting that had served them so well in the series, struggling against the spin and despite the bright knocks by Kyle Mayers and Jason Holder, they ran short by 34 runs in the game. West Indies pulled two stunning performances, defeating England in two games but the formidable force squared things up with a game left to be played in the series. Jason Roy is the top run-scorer for England with 122 runs at a strike rate over 120. He has struck 11 fours and 8 sixes. England still leads the tally in the last five clashes between the sides by 3-2 and is expected to produce the same results in the fourth T20I on January 31. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.65 for ENG to win the 5th T20 and it is the best betting tip I can offer for the WI vs ENG head-to-head encounter.

WI vs ENG Player Bets:

Let me walk you through the best player betting tip for the WI vs ENG head-to-head match and it will not let you down.

Nicholas Pooran to score over 20.5 runs

Nicholas Pooran performed well in T20 leagues around the world and is becoming one of the top wicket keeper-batsmen in the cricketing world. He recently came off a decent campaign in the T20 World Cup 2021 where he was able to collect 103 runs in 5 games at an average of 20.60. This might not look like the best betting tip but read further into the analysis of his batting performance in the 20 over format. The middle order batter has been batting consistently and has become one of the batting pillars in the middle order of the squad. He has an experience of 194 T20 games where he scored 4089 runs at an average of 24.93. Pooran has played 46 international 20 over matches for West Indies and amassed a total of 988 runs with an average of 25.33. Although his average is slightly low, it satisfies our desired target and makes up for a lucrative betting tip for the WI vs ENG head-to-head match. Pooran, before coming into this series, smashed 18, 26 and 64 runs vs Pakistan in December 2021. He scored 27*, 24, 70 and 22 runs in the four recent matches of the ongoing series. The last three betting tips involving Pooran went in favour of those who bet in favour of him. Considering his current form, Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for Nicholas Pooran to score over 20.5 runs and you should definitely pick it from the WI vs ENG match predictions.

Jason Roy to score under 21.5 runs

Jason Roy made his debut in 2014 against India in the 20 over format. He has opened spectacularly in his early years and has become a key batting presence in the squad. Although he averages at 18.50 in the 8 games played vs West Indies, his batting figures reveals a different story altogether. He holds an average of 28.30 in 260 T20 games. In his career of 57 T20Is, he has amassed 1438 runs with an average of 25.67. Although his average seems unimpressive, his current batting form will agree with this lucrative betting tip. He was struck out merely at 6 runs in the 1st T20I against West Indies in the ongoing series but returned with the knocks of 45, 19 and 52 runs in the next three T20Is. Interestingly, England managed to win the games where Roy was successful with the bat. Roy had a great year of 2021 where he played most of his career T20Is and averaged at 30.42 in them. He is currently batting with an average over 30 in the tournament which is a plus regarding our betting tip. With that being said, Jason Roy is more likely to play an expensive innings in the next game and with Pari Match will offer you the favourable odds for the same from the WI vs ENG match prediction.

My Picks:

England to win @1.65 (Pari Match)

Nicholas Pooran to score over 20.5 runs @1.87 (Pari Match)

Jason Roy to score under 21.5 runs @1.87 (Pari Match)
