The historic Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados has hosted six matches in this tournament with the team setting a target coming out victorious on three occasions. The chasing team has just won one encounter at the venue while one match ended in a tie and another was a washout. The captain winning the toss has opted to bat first and chase, both on three occasions. The average score batting first in Barbados in the tournament is 162/8.
The pitch in Barbados will assist the pacers as it has historically. But the wicket has true bounce and the ball comes onto the bat so the batters will enjoy batting in Barbados. The highest score at the venue in this tournament is Australia’s 201 against England. While the mean temperature in Barbados on Sunday will be 28 degrees, there is a 50% chance of showers.
England will start overwhelming favourites in Barbados. They have the might in batting to annihilate the USA. However, England’s bowling has been a touch under-par and they lack firepower in the department. This is where USA will have a chance in the match. Buttler is expected to score a big one while Aaron Jones needs to make it count for the USA. England have an 80% chance of victory.
And finally, this is our Fantasy XI for the USA vs England encounter. We have 8 players from England and 3 from USA. Buttler and Jacks will be devastating in the powerplay while Brook and Bairstow will control the middle overs. Mark Wood and Netravalkar will bowl with the new ball and Moeen Ali and Rashid will control the middle overs. Jos Buttler will be the captain while Jones will be the vice-captain.
Our backup players are Ben Duckett as batter, Jofra Archer as bowler and Harmeet as all-rounder.
