England vs West Indies Second T20I Tips, Predictions and Bet Builder

England continued their perfect start under new limited-overs captain Harry Brook with victory over the West Indies in the first T20I on Friday and they will be looking to maintain that winning feeling in the second contest in the series in Bristol on Sunday.

It has been a seamless start to life as skipper for Brook, who completed the ODI series clean sweep over the Windies before guiding his side to a 21-run win at Chester-le-Street in the first of three Twenty 20 internationals.

Attention now turns to Sunday's second contest at the Seat Unique Stadium in Bristol and England will feel confident of wrapping up the series ahead of Tuesday's final clash at the Utilita Bowl in Southampton.

England vs West Indies Second T20I Prediction

Best Bet: Jacob Bethell player of the match @ 11/1

Jacob Bethell looks to be a star in the making for England and he put in another impressive display in the first T20I, hitting an unbeaten 23 before then recording bowling figures of 2-27.

The 21-year-old left-arm spinner holds no fear and that was evident when thrown the ball at Chester-le-Street, as he was smacked around for his two overs but still had the resolve and quality to take two crucial wickets.

While the applause, rightly, went to Jos Buttler and Liam Dawson on Friday, Bethell could prove to be the star of the show with both the ball and bat, making him a solid bet to be named player of the match.

James Mason explains:

Jacob Bethell is a dual threat for England when it comes to limited-overs cricket. He is destructive with the bat and adept with his slow left-arm spin. One of the country's most talented cricketers, he can further highlight his quality with a player-of-the-match performance.

England vs West Indies Second T20I Bet Builder Tip

• Liam Dawson 1+ wickets

• Jamie Smith 30+ runs

• Jos Buttler 3+ sixes

  
  Pays 11/2

This Bet Builder draws on form, data and tactical profiles. Liam Dawson made his first appearance for England since September 2022 in Friday's first T20I and his wealth of experience shone through, as he finished with leading figures of 4-20 to put in a huge contribution to the 21-run success.

That was the best bowling return for an England left-arm spinner in this format of the game and the 35-year-old, who has played plenty of limited-overs cricket with stints in the Blast, The Hundred, SA20, ILT20, BBL, PSL, BPL and CLT20, looks capable of taking at least one wicket.

Jamie Smith looked solid for his 38 from 20 balls on Friday, the highest score he has made in just his third T20I. The 24-year-old, already a key part of the Test and ODI team, will be eager to press his claims for a regular spot in the Twenty 20 team.

Smith, who made scores of 37, 0 and 64 in the ODI series against the Windies, should retain his spot at the top of the order in place of the absent Phil Salt and he should enjoy the shorter boundaries in Bristol.

Another England player who will relish the boundary rope being closer is Jos Buttler, who produced a scintillating knock of 96 to help England reach 188-6 in that opening T20I.

The former captain cleared the rope four times, more than any player in the match, and he can muscle the ball for six at least three times on Sunday.

James Mason adds:

This Bet Builder focuses on what is expected to be another dominant performance from England and Jamie Smith, as he did in the first T20I, could get his side off to a hot start. Jos Buttler is clearly enjoying not having the captain responsibilities and he can showcase his class once again by sending a few into the stands, while the experienced Liam Dawson can prove to be a thorn in the West Indies side once again.

Tactics, Form and Team News

Although ending with two wickets on his T20I debut, seamer Matthew Potts conceded 48 runs from his four overs and he could be replaced in the starting XI by Saqib Mahmood or Luke Wood.

Rehan Ahmed is another potential spin option to bring in for Brook's side, although he will find it difficult to dislodge the superb Liam Dawson and the experienced Adil Rashid.

That will likely be the only possible change to the side that recorded a 21-run victory in the first match, meaning Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett will open the batting with Jos Buttler coming in at three.

After going 1-0 down in the three-match series, the West Indies could decide to bring in more batting firepower with Shimron Hetmyer and Brandon King pushing to come in.

In terms of the bowling department, Matthew Forde could replace Jason Holder, who returned figures of 0-38 in the first T20I.
