The clash between the two juggernauts on a ground that has seen a 200-plus score put on in an innings foreshadows fireworks. On Tuesday, West Indies scored 218/5 against Afghanistan at the same stadium.

West Indies dominated Group C while defending champions, England barely managed to keep their title defence alive in Group B.

They confirmed their place in the Super 8 with the help of their bitter rival, Australia. The Three Lions clinched a win over Namibia in a rain-affected match. England needed Australia to defeat Scotland to keep their title defence alive. Australia defeated Scotland by 5 wickets which ensured that England qualified for the next round.
