Windies vs England, 3rd Test: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

The Test series has already been won by Windies with a game to spare but the Caribbean side will be eyeing a ‘blackwash’ for the first time in 33 years. Never in recent times have the Windies dominate any side as much as they did England in the ongoing series. There are sheer determination and immense hunger to win games in this Caribbean team.

Slowly but steadily, they are ascending greater heights and they’d hope that this series win against the Brits would be the start of many more to come. There are different players who rose up to various challenges and the proceedings thus far have been a treat to watch. But, the task only gets tougher now as they play without their regular skipper Jason Holder. England will surely look to put up a greater fight and show better resilience. At all costs, they will push for a win as their pride is at stake.
