Each side evenly poised, though relatively inexperienced are capable of playing a thoroughly respectable game of cricket.
England and West-Indies ranked seventh and eighth in the world, face each other in the decider at Trent Bridge, today.
The Windies seem in high morale following a comprehensive last victory and if Chris Gayle’s enigmatic side play to their full potential again, they can taste the much wanted, success. The key-anchor, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, whose match-winning 116 on Wednesday set Windies on a high, was hit yesterday, during a net-session. The team has set fingers crossed and expecting of his early recovery, before the start of the final tie.
Paul Collingwood on the other hand, has demanded his players to exhibit some aggressive approach at the final play in a bid to protect his side from being labelled as ‘frequent loosers’. England, is expected to recall their tests champ, Monty Panesar in order to enhance some control in the middle overs of the game. Furthermore, a much is needed from the Englishmen, that their top batsmen do perform well.
The Windies seem quiet contended with the side that played in the last, two one-dayers. The bowling line-up has been so far more consistent as compared to their opponents.
Chances of win will largely depend on the correct strategy the team adopts, each player exhibiting his best show and keeping the nerves high, till the very end.
