ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction 3rd Test

England, riding high on their commanding performances in the first two Tests, will be eyeing a series clean sweep as they head into the third and final match. Their impressive victory by 241 runs in the second Test was highlighted by Shoaib Bashir’s stellar 5-wicket haul in the fourth innings. West Indies, on the other hand, find themselves in a critical situation, having been comprehensively outplayed in both Tests. The promise shown during their drawn series in Australia seems a distant memory as they struggle to cope with England’s aggression and skill. The visitors now face the daunting challenge of salvaging pride and avoiding a series whitewash on English soil.
