The international T20 cricket action has returned following a two-month hiatus. The West Indies, who are two-time world T20 champions, have travelled to England to engage in a three-match T20 series. In the first match at Chester-Le-Street, England secured a convincing victory over the West Indies, winning by 21 runs. The teams will face off again for the final time in the series at the Ageas Bowl on June 10th, following the crucial second match on June 8th in Bristol. Both sides are eager to emerge victorious at the Ageas Bowl and wrap up the brief series before a lengthy summer ahead. Players from each team will need to deliver strong performances to secure a win.
Here are the top three player battles to keep an eye on during this encounter.
3. Johnson Charles vs Liam Dawson

The 35-year-old all-rounder got the better of the destructive opening batter from the West Indies in the opening fixture of the series. Charles has managed to score a mere 13 runs off the 17 balls he faced from the left-arm orthodox spinner. Charles will be looking to let loose his shackles in their next face-off.
2. Shai Hope vs Adil Rashid

The most technically sorted batters in the current crop of the West Indies batting system have failed to score freely against the English Spinner. Hope has managed to score only 27 runs off 32 balls. Rashid also got the better of Shai Hope twice during this time. While Hope will be hoping to turn the tables come the third T20, Rashid will be looking to keep up his record.
1. Jos Buttler vs Jason Holder

The destructive English batter has managed to score only 31 runs off the 32 deliveries he faced from the former West Indies skipper. Additionally, he also lost his wickets twice to the right-arm medium pacer. It will be interesting to see how the next chapter of this rivalry unfolds in the third T20.
