T20I series begins

The five-match T20I series between West Indies and England begins on December 13 in Barbados. 

Buttler vs Joseph

Jos Buttler, who has been short of runs lately, would be required to step up while opening the batting. He would tackle Alzarri Joseph's thunderbolts with the new ball early on.

Livingstone-Hosein duel

Liam Livingstone is the designated finisher of the England side. He might have to tackle Akeal Hosein's left-arm spin in the middle overs. 

Pooran-Rashid showdown

Nicholas Pooran can go big in the middle overs besides providing the finishing touches. Pooran, however, has struggled against Adil Rashid's leg-spin in the T20 format. 

Hetmyer-Mills clash

Shimron Hetmyer is another swashbuckler who can change the course of the game on his own. Tymal Mills would like to keep him quiet using all his experience. 

Andre Russell versus Sam Curran

Andre Russell's destructive batting in the end overs has given nightmares to the best of bowlers. Sam Curran, who has been brilliant with his variations, would look to keep Russell quiet.
