ENG vs WI Dream Team fantasy cricket prediction for 2nd T20I match: England will lock horns with West Indies during the second T20I and will aim to win the series on Sunday, June 8 with one match remaining. The hosts had won the series opener in Chester-Le-Street by 21 runs and thus they would be riding high on confidence before entering the second T20I, which would be held at the County Ground in Bristol.
The visitors haven't won a single match in the ongoing series against England. Post suffering a clean sweep during the three-match ODI series, West Indies were supposed to make a brilliant comeback in T20Is, since they boast players like Andre Rusell, Jason Holder, and Rovman Powell to their side.
But Jos Buttler took the West Indies bowlers to the cleaners as he scored a match-winning knock of 96 runs off 59 balls during the series opener. Jamie Smith also scored a gritty knock of 38 runs as a top-order batter. Romario Shepherd was the pick among the West Indies bowlers as he had taken two wickets and given away 33 runs in the four overs that he had bowled.
England's Liam Dawson gave West Indies batters a hard time on a surface that was spinners-friendly. He registered match-winning figures of 4/20 in the four overs that he bowled. Evin Lewis was the only batter who could score 39 runs off 23 balls. They were skittled out for 167/9 while chasing a target of 189 runs.
