England are 5-6 with Coral.co.uk to qualify past the Super Eights stage ahead of their opening match on Thursday against West Indies.
Having been hammered by India in their final group match, Stuart Broad’s side will be looking at silencing their critics when they face Darren Sammy’s men. It’s 10-11 for England to come away from Pallekele International Cricket Stadium victorious, and 13-5 that they go on and qualify through to the semi-finals as winners of Group 1.
“The defeat to India could just be the wake-up call that England needed. Stuart Broad’s side are currently 6-1 to go on and defend their title and if they can overcome a very dangerous West Indies side, they will be in a great position to qualify through to the semi-finals,” Coral’s Tim Reynolds told betrescue.com
The last time these two sides met in the shortest format of the game, England ran out winners by seven-wickets at Trent Bridge. Alex Hales was the star man for England that day, scoring 99 runs from just 68 balls. It’s 10-3 for the England opener to once again be England’s top runs scorer, with Luke Wright, who is England’s leading batsman so far in the tournament, also 10-3.
