Defending champions England will take on unbeaten West Indies in the second match of the Super Eights of T20 World Cup 2024 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia on Wednesday (June 19).
Jos Buttler-led England head into the match on the back of a 41-run Super 8 spot sealing win over Namibia in the final Group B match, while Rovman Powell’s West Indies are fresh from a thumping 104-run victory over Afghanistan in Group C.

Both teams have had a contrasting tournament so far with England, who won 2 and lost 1, scraping through to the next round from Group B at the expense of Scotland after the all-British meeting ended in a wash out.
West Indies, on the other hand, got past New Zealand, Uganda and Papua New Guniea before a convincing win over Afghanistan in their final group stage outing. The Men in Maroon will hope to keep their winning streak in tact as they aim for their third title.
The joint record two-time champions, who met only a few months ago, will clash again for the 30th time in T20 format and for the second time in the Gros Islet venue. Here is a look at the head to head numbers of WI vs ENG:
