ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction: Dream11 Team Today, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Injury Update - West Indies Tour of England 2025, 3rd T20I

England will take on the West Indies in the third and final T20I of the three-match series on Tuesday, June 10. The match will take place at The Rose Bowl in Southampton. With England already having won the first two T20Is by 21 runs and four wickets respectively, the series is already sealed. So, from England's perspective, they will hope to whitewash the West Indies by winning the final match as well. As for the West Indies, they will hope to fight for pride, having earlier lost the ODI series 3-0 as well.

With England already having won the series, they may decide to rest some of their big stars, such as star pacer Brydon Carse and veteran leg-spinner Adil Rashid. Both Carse and Rashid have had a difficult series so far.

ENG vs WI Team Preview:

In the two T20Is so far, Carse has just managed to pick up one wicket and was particularly expensive during the second T20I, conceding 42 runs from his four overs. While Rashid has performed better than Carse, he, too, has not been at his best.

Rashid made a decent contribution in the first T20I as he ended up with figures of 1-22 from his four overs. In the second T20I, though, he was England's most expensive bowler as he conceded a whopping 59 runs from his four-over spell. However, he did pick up the wicket of the West Indies skipper Shai Hope, who looked in decent touch, having scored 49 runs from 38 balls. So, if England decide to rest both Carse and Rashid, they could give chances to Rehan Ahmed and Saqib Mahmood.

With the West Indies having no chance of winning the series, they too could consider making some changes. With Romario Shepherd having been one of their most consistent performers, West Indies could decide to give him a rest. Shepherd, who most recently won the IPL title with the Royal Challengers Bangalore, has made key contributions with both bat and ball for the Windies.

In the first T20I, he ended with figures of 2-33 from his four-over spell. In the same match, he also scored 16 runs from 12 deliveries. He carried over his form into the second T20I, smacking a quickfire 19 runs of 11 deliveries, an inning that included two sixes. With Shepherd also picking up the key wicket of Ben Duckett in the same match, he again proved himself as one of the West Indies' top performers in this series so far.

West Indies could also consider resting Sherfane Rutherford, who has struggled in this series so far. He managed just two runs in the first T20I before scoring six in the second. Instead of Shepherd and Rutherford, the Windies could consider giving Shimron Hetmyer and Matthew Forde an opportunity.

Match Details

ENG vs WI Head-to-Head Records

This will be the 37th time England and West Indies have competed in a T20I. Both teams have won 18 matches each, with one T20I ending in a no result. So, while the series is sealed, this match will be of huge importance when it comes to the head-to-head.

ENG vs WI Weather Report & Pitch Report

The weather in Southampton for the third T20I is unpredictable. With a 40% chance of rain, there is a good chance that the full 40 overs would not be played. With such a high chance of rain, the captain winning the toss must decide to bowl first as this will help them understand what the target is they have to chase. As for the temperature, the minimum expected is 11°C while the maximum is 22°C.

The Rose Bowl is not particularly known to be a high-scoring ground, as the average first-innings total is 172 runs from the 11 matches that have taken place at this venue.

Record of Chasing Teams in this Stadium

Out of the 11 matches that have taken place at this venue, seven matches have been won by the team batting first, while the team batting second has managed just four victories. So, the team batting first does seem to have had a historical advantage.

ENG vs WI: ENG to win the toss and choose to field first

Although the team batting first has historically had an advantage in Southampton, we still expect England to bowl first if they win the toss. The reason? 40% chance of rain. If it rains, it will always be better for a team to know what the target is and plan their inning accordingly, as DLS will come into play.

ENG vs WI Dream11 Team Today Stats

ENG and WI will play their third match of the T20I series. Jos Buttler has been the standout performer so far. We will predict some players who are likely to perform well in the third and final T20I.

Highest run scorer: Jos Buttler (ENG)
Highest wicket-taker: Luke Wood (ENG)

Captaincy Picks for ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction

Jos Buttler has been particularly impressive since returning from the IPL, having made key contributions in both T20Is so far. In the first T20I at Chester-le-Street, he smacked an outstanding 96 runs, an innings that included six fours and four sixes. While he could not quite get to his 50 in the second T20I at Bristol, he was the team's highest scorer yet again, having got 47 runs from 36 deliveries. In this inning, he got four fours and two sixes.

From the West Indies' perspective, Shai Hope could be the key. With the Southampton ground not known for high scores, technicians like Hope may need to do the bulk of the scoring.

So, considering the consistency that Buttler has shown, he could be selected as captain. Meanwhile, Hope can be a good pick as a vice-captain.

Top Picks for ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction

Jacob Bethell can be a good pick as he has performed well with both bat and ball. In the first T20I, he scored 23 runs and picked up two wickets. Meanwhile, in the second T20I, he picked up a wicket and scored 26 runs.

Jason Holder can be another top pick as he, too, can perform well with both bat and ball. While he did not pick up any wickets in the first T20I and managed just 13 runs, he showcased his class in the second T20I. He smacked a blistering 29 runs off just nine deliveries and picked up the crucial wicket of England opener Jamie Smith.

Budget Picks for ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction

Liam Dawson can probably be a good budget pick. He surprised everyone in the first T20I by ending with outstanding figures of 4-20 from his four overs.

For the West Indies, Johnson Charles can be a good pick as a lot will rely on him to deliver at the top of the order. While he could not quite fire in the first T20I, he did manage to score 47 runs from 39 deliveries in the second.

ENG vs WI Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain Options: Jos Buttler & Shai Hope

With Jos Buttler having been the most consistent batter so far in the series, he is obviously the most likely choice for captain. A lot will depend on the former English captain if England are to win the third T20I. With him likely to smack a lot of boundaries, having him in any Dream11 team is vital as additional points are awarded for each boundary.

While West Indies skipper Shai Hope may not be that explosive, he is likely to play the anchor innings for his side. During such an inning, he is likely to score a lot of runs, which again could include multiple boundaries.

Vice-Captain Options: Jacob Bethell & Jason Holder

For vice-captain, one can consider Jacob Bethell. With him having made key contributions with both bat and ball in both matches, there is a high likelihood that he would pay dividends in at least one of these two aspects.

Jason Holder can also be an option for similar reasons. Holder is known for his cameos with the bat toward the end of an innings when he smacks a lot of runs in quick time. And with him also likely to bowl all four overs, he could also pick up wickets, which would add to the total for anyone making a Dream11 team.

Keeper: Jos Buttler, Shai Hope
Batters: Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Rovman Powell, Jacob Bethell
All-rounders: Andre Russell, Roston Chase

ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction Today (3rd T20I) West Indies tour of England 2025 Players to Avoid

If the West Indies decide to pick Sherfane Rutherford, he should be a player to avoid as he has failed to deliver in the two T20Is so far. With scores of just two and six respectively in the two T20Is, Rutherford has managed just a total of 28 points.

Another player who has failed to deliver is Gudakesh Motie. He has bowled a total of seven overs in the two T20Is and has failed to pick a single wicket. With not many contributions with the bat either, he has managed a total of just 32 points.

ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction Today (3rd T20I) West Indies tour of England 2025 Expert Advice:

Captaincy Choice

Jos Buttler is the obvious captaincy choice as he has been the most consistent in the two T20Is so far. With the experience that he has, he will be expected to deliver once again in the third and final T20I.

Vice-Captaincy Choice

Jacob Bethell is a strong candidate to be the vice-captain because of how he has delivered with both bat and ball in this series so far. With him having scored 20+ runs in both matches and picked up at least a wicket, he could be a safe option to select as vice-captain.

Punt Picks

Shai Hope will be the key for the West Indies as he will be expected to lead from the front and try his best to give the Windies a chance of winning the third and final T20I in this series. If he fails to deliver, the West Indies could be in real trouble.

A lot will also depend on veteran Jason Holder, as he would be expected to lead the bowling attack and bowl the crucial overs. Due to his powerful batting, he will also be expected to give the West Indies a strong finish to their innings.
