Holders and two-time champions West Indies face England in the second Super 12 match of ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai, UAE on Saturday. This will be a repeat of the last edition's final at Eden Gardens, Kolkata five years ago.
On that fateful April night, Carlos Brathwaite hit Ben Stokes for 6,6,6,6 in the final over to help Windies become the first-ever side to win two T20 World Cups. Sadly, both are missing. But the action will be worthy of global attention.
Eoin Morgan's England are the top-ranked side in the world, while Kieron Pollard's Windies have a veritable line-up of globe-trotting superstars, best suited for this bang-bang version of cricket.
