England have won the toss and have opted to field
Windies also need to understand that their batting can't only rely on Shai Hope and Keacy Carty. Others will have to shine through as England are dangerous mercenaries in white ball cricket. Any sort of a weak link and they will pounce on it. The deck at Sophia Gardens might not be an out and out belter for the batters and that might be of some respite for the visitors after having conceded 400 in the last game. The pacers might have some advantage and toss will be key. Toss and sheets in a while from now.
