CB Expert Advice
· England and West Indies both have the chance to make history when they go head-to-head in the ICC World Twenty20 final in Kolkata, on Sunday. No nation has ever won the World T20 more than once, yet the last teams left standing in 2016 are two former champions. England lifted the trophy in the Caribbean in 2010, while West Indies were triumphant two years later in Sri Lanka. This year's finalists have already met in the competition. West Indies won the Group 1 opener on March 16, chasing down a target of 183 with six wickets and 11 balls to spare in Mumbai. Eden Gardens will stage the rematch. The atmosphere may not be quite as raucous now the host nation have been knocked out, but the famous ground is a fitting venue to wrap up what has been a wonderful tournament.
· Best economical pick – Jos Buttler probably the most destructive batsman in this English batting line-up. Gave a man of the match performance against Sri Lanka where he scored a blistering knock of 66 runs in the last match of Super 10. Then finished the semifinal with style by scoring 32 runs in just 17 balls.
· Top captains & vice captains – The world boss Chris Gayle already scored a century against England in their first encounter in the super 10. So make him your captain without any hesitation. For vice-captain Joe Root will be a good pick. The best batsman of English team. He has been scoring constantly for England in this World Cup. He is the top run getter for England in this WT20.
· Smart pick – The English opener Jason Roy has been in superb touch in this tournament. Scored a match winning knock of 72 runs in just 44 balls against New Zealand in the semifinal match. He is scoring runs with a strike rate of 150 plus in this tournament.
· Be careful – It will be forgettable tournament with bat for the English captain Eoin Morgan. He has scored already 2 golden ducks in this tournament. It will be very risky if you pick him in your team.
· My XI – Chris Gayle (Captain), Joe Root ( Vice-Captain), Jos Buttler, Jason Roy, Chris Jordan, Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes. Andre Russell, Samuel Badree, Sulieman Benn, Johnshon Charles.
