West Indies v England third ODI betting tips and predictions

West Indies to win @ 11/10

England's three-match ODI series in the Caribbean will be settled on Wednesday after the tourists beat the West Indies by five wickets in Saturday's second game.

The Windies looked to be on their way to an unassailable 2-0 lead after posting 328-6 in North Sound, but a sensational innings of 124 not out from 85 balls by stand-in captain Liam Livingstone led England to victory.

Phil Salt (59), Jacob Bethell (55) and Sam Curran (52) also made useful contributions with the bat, although Livingstone, deputising for injured skipper Jos Buttler, stole the show with a brilliant knock featuring nine sixes.

The series concludes at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown and the West Indies look a tempting price to bounce back from Saturday's defeat.

England scored 100 runs off the final 45 balls of Saturday's run-chase, but before then the Windies had barely put a foot wrong in the series.

With the England Test team preparing for a series in New Zealand, there is an experimental look to the touring party and they have lost 10 of their last 15 away ODIs.

They were bowled out for 209 in the first ODI, allowing the hosts to complete a comfortable eight-wicket victory on the DLS method.

And England's bowlers lacked ruthlessness in the second game as the Windies recovered from 12-2 to set a testing victory target of 329.

The West Indies have won their last two ODIs at the Kensington Oval, bowling out India for just 181 in July 2023 and beating England by four wickets last December, and they can complete the hat-trick on Wednesday.

Shai Hope to be West Indies top batter @ 10/3

England captain Livingstone played the matchwinning innings on Saturday, but his opposite number Shai Hope once again showed his 50-over class with a smooth knock of 117 at North Sound. 

Hope was player of the series in last year's ODIs against England, scoring 109 not out, 68 and 15, and he averages 49.83 in one-dayers for the Windies.

He will be determined to make an impact on his home island of Barbados, where he made 43 and 63 in two ODIs against India last year.

Both of those knocks were the highest of the innings for the West Indies and the unflappable number four can lead from the front in the series decider.

Matthew Forde to take two or more wickets @ 13/8

Seam-bowling all-rounder Matthew Forde has made a promising start to his international career for the West Indies and he is an eye-catching price to take two or more wickets in the third ODI.

The 22-year-old, a Bajan like his captain Hope, has claimed 2-48 and 3-48 in the first two matches of the series and all five of his victims were top-six batters.

He cracked three sixes in an unbeaten 23 off 11 balls at the end of the innings on Saturday, further boosting his confidence and was player of the match on his ODI debut against England at the Kensington Oval last year.

The right-armer dismissed England's top three batters - Salt, Will Jacks and Zak Crawley - during a superb new-ball burst and he could cause more problems for the tourists on Wednesday.
