WI vs ENG 3rd T20I: A crucial third T20I as West Indies scramble to stay alive
The ongoing five-match T20I series between West Indies and England has reached a crucial juncture as both teams once again gear up to face each other in the third match on Friday at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia. England, leading the series 2-0, will look to extend their dominance, while West Indies are facing a must-win situation in the third T20I to stay alive in the contest. West Indies will be determined to fight back after falling short in the opening two games.
England have been in impressive form in the series so far, securing victories in the first two matches. Their strong all-round performances have given them a 2-0 advantage, putting them within touching distance of clinching the series with three matches still to play. England won the first game by eight wickets, while they secured a 7-wicket victory in the second match.
For West Indies, the third T20I is nothing short of a do-or-die encounter. After losing the first two matches, West Indies now face the prospect of falling behind 3-0 in the series, which would leave them with no margin for error in the remaining games. They will need their key players like Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, and Rovman Powell to step up in a big way.
