WCL 2025: Top 3 player battles to watch out for in ENG vs WI

England Champions will clash with West Indies Champions in the 6th match of the World Champions League (WCL) 2025. The match will be played under lights at the County Ground, Northampton, on July 22.

England have played two games, with one loss and one washout due to rain. With players like Ian Bell, Eoin Morgan, Moeen Ali, Chris Tremlett, and Liam Plunkett, they will be eager to get some points on the board with a win over the West Indies.

West Indies, on the other hand, with stars like Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, and others, failed to come good against South Africa and lost in the bowl-out. This sixth match of the WCL 2025 will see a huge battle between superstars from England and the West Indies.

Here are the top 3 player battles to watch out for in ENG vs WI:

1. Phil Mustard vs Dwayne Bravo

Phil Mustard showcased that even the veteran batters can easily adapt to the modern way of batting. He has hit 62 runs in two games for England Champions in the ongoing WCL. His highest score has been 58, and England hopes for quick starts from him. Countering him will be a task, and the West Indies is most likely to employ their most experienced and cunning bowler, Dwayne Bravo. Bravo might not have picked up wickets in the previous game, but he sure can keep Mustard quiet.

2. Kieron Pollard vs Moeen Ali

West Indies great Kieron Pollard got out on the first ball he faced by Aaron Phangiso. But this does not mean he is not dangerous. He recently helped MI New York win the MLC 2025 and is still in his prime form. To counter him, England must bring in a similar active player in Moeen Ali and try to get him out early. Ali knows Pollard very well thanks to their battles in various T20 leagues and has an advantage over him.

3. Ian Bell vs Fidel Edwards

Ian Bell was the star for England in their narrow loss to Pakistan. He slammed 51 with five fours and two sixes and almost took England to the win. Bell showed that he still had class even at this age, and that needs either guile or pace to overcome. Edwards still clocks decent pace and can swing the ball.
