The England wicketkeeper-batter will be keen to step up this time and make a substantial impact with the bat. Buttler has accumulated 3,976 runs in 148 T20 matches.
Key bowler to watch out for: Jason Holder
Jason Holder could be the pivotal bowler in this encounter. He impressed with figures of 3/30 against Scotland in the opening game and has 101 wickets in T20 cricket to his name. Holder’s knack for smart variations and tight overs could be a game-changer for West Indies as they aim for another win.
