The hosts England will face West Indies in the 19th match of the World Cup 2019 on Friday. England enter the game after defeating Bangladesh by 106 runs, but the Windies have also been terrific in the tournament so far.
When West Indies played England in the five match series it ended in a draw 2-2, which means England shouldn’t take the Caribbeans lightly.
The match is expected to see multiple changes in both the teams. Moeen Ali is expected to make into the squad at the cost of Chris Woakes or Liam Plunkett. For the West Indies Andre Russell is expected to return to the squad.
