Defending champions England and hosts West Indies are set to clash at St Lucia in the T20 World Cup Super 8 stage on Friday. England arrives in St Lucia relieved after narrowly avoiding a group stage exit. Despite their shaky start, they have found their way to the Super 8s.
West Indies, on the other hand, won all of their 4 matches in group stage. Their powerful batting lineup, with players like Nicholas Pooran, has been in stellar form.
West Indies face minor selection dilemmas, particularly in the middle-order where Roston Chase and Shai Hope vie for a spot. Romario Shepherd is expected to return after missing the last match due to paternity leave.
