WI vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, 3rd ODI Fantasy Cricket Tips, Team, Playing XI and Pitch Report: England tour of West Indies 2024

This will be the third and final ODI between West Indies and England. It will be played on 6th November 2024 at 11:30 PM IST. The venue for this game will be the Kensington Oval in Barbados. The series is level 1-1. 

West Indies won the first game but lost the last one by 5 wickets thanks to an excellent batting effort from England. Shai Hope and Keacy Carty’s form will be a big positive for them. Evin Lewis has been in good form too. The bowlers have been a little inconsistent, especially the pacers. West Indies will be eyeing a series win in this game. 

Meanwhile, England came back strongly after losing the first game by 8 wickets (DLS Method). Bowling is a bit of an issue as they don’t have 5 proper bowling options. Players like Will Jakcs, Livingstone, Jacob Bethell and Dan Mousley bowl 10-12 overs between them. 

England has good batting depth which was quite evident in the last game. They need some consistency from the top 3. They’ll be also looking for a series win by winning this game.

Top Player Picks for WI vs ENG Dream11 Prediction

Evin Lewis (WI) 

• Evin Lewis scored a brilliant 94 in the first game. He got out cheaply in the last one but will be a top fantasy pick.

• Lewis scored a match-winning century in the last ODI against Sri Lanka and followed it by a 94 in the first ODI against England. Try him as C/VC in the big leagues.

Jacob Bethell (ENG)

• Jacob Bethell is a key player for England. He will bat at 4 and may bowl a few overs too.

• He has 82 runs in the first two games including a 55 in the last match. Bethell will be an excellent pick in fantasy cricket.

Gudakesh Motie (WI)

• Gudakesh Motie picked up 4 wickets in the first ODI. He went wicket-less in the last game.   

• The pitch is expected to aid the spinners and Motie will be a top pick considering that. He is handy with the bat as well. 

Top Captaincy and Vice-Captaincy Picks for WI vs ENG Dream11 Prediction

Liam Livingstone (ENG)  

• Livingstone scored a brilliant 124* in the last game and saw his side over the line. He scored 48 in the first game as well. 

• He has picked up 2 wickets as well in this series. Livingstone will contribute with both bat and ball which makes him the best C/VC option.

Shai Hope (WI)

• Shai Hope scored 117 runs in the last game. He is a key batter for his side in the middle order. A top C/VC pick.

• He has 640 runs in 17 innings at an average of 42.70 against England. Hope has 3 fifties and 2 centuries against England.

Sam Curran (ENG)

• Sam Curran is not bowling a lot of overs but he’s still contributing with the bat. One or two wickets and 30-35 runs from Curran will be enough in fantasy cricket.

• He scored 52 in the last game and 37 in the first ODI. Curran will be a good C/VC choice.

WI vs ENG Player to Avoid 

Jordan Cox (ENG)

• Dan Mousley will bat too low and will bowl 2-3 overs at max. This affects his fantasy value and his current form is not that good either. Mousley will be our player to avoid for this game.
