England will face the West Indies in the second match of the series. The match will be played at the County Ground, Bristol, England, on 6 June 2025 at 11:00 PM IST.

After winning the ODI series, England are aiming to whitewash the T20I series against the West Indies as well. They defeated the visitors by 21 runs in the first match and took a 1-0 lead. England, while batting first, posted 188/6 in the first innings with the help of Jos Buttler's 96-run knock and Jamie Smith's attacking 38. Later, they restricted the West Indies team to just 167. Liam Dawson, who was returning to the T20I setup after three years, took four wickets while debutant Matthew Potts took two. Under Harry Brook, England has started their dominance yet again. 

West Indies, on the other hand, have not been so impressive lately in white-ball cricket. They lost the first T20I match by 21 runs, but they would be aiming to bounce back in the second do-or-die match to keep themselves alive. West Indies boasts a power house of batters including Sherfane Rutherford, Shai Hope, Rovman Powell, and Johnson Charles, but still they lack the mindset to play fearless cricket. Under the newly appointed captain Shai Hope, they would aim to change this. 

The surface at County Ground is generally good for the batters. The surface will help the batters to play their shots freely once they get settled. The average first innings total in 2022 was 209, which suggests that the surface will be favourable for the batters. However, spinners are likely to get some assistance from the pitch, especially the orthodox spinners. 

England: Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith, Liam Dawson, Matthew Potts, Harry Brook (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks, Tom Banton, Brydon Carse, Adil Rashid.

West Indies: Johnson Charles, Evin Lewis, Romario Shepherd, Shai Hope (c & wk), Andre Russell, Roston Chase, Jason Holder, Rovman Powell, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Sherfane Rutherford.

• Jos Buttler | ENG: The 34-year-old right-hand wicketkeeper batter has been in phenomenal form lately. He has been featured in 135 T20I matches with 3631 runs in his career, including 1 century and 27 half-centuries. He scored 96 runs from just 59 balls in the first T20I match and would look to continue his form going. His addition to your team will only favour your fantasy XI.

• Ben Duckett | ENG: Ben Duckett was phenomenal in the ODI leg, where he amassed 118 runs in 3 matches, including three half-centuries. In 18 T20I matches, he has scored 413 runs, including two half-centuries. He should be included in the team, considering his consistent form in mind.

He has played 24 T20I matches overall and has scored 392 runs, and has also taken 1 wicket so far. He should be included in the playing XI.
