Dream11 fantasy cricket tips and guide for the 1st T20I of the England vs West Indies T20I series, to be played between ENG vs WI in Chester-le-Street.
England thrashed West Indies 3-0 in the recently concluded ODI series, and the action between the two teams will move to the shortest format. These two sides will lock horns with each other in a three-match T20I series.
The first game is scheduled to be played on Friday (June 6) at the Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street. Harry Brook will be looking to start his full-time T20I captaincy stint with a series win as he did in ODIs.
Phil Salt will be missing the T20I series for England after winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Liam Dawson is another notable inclusion. For the West Indies, Andre Russell and Jason Holder are back, and they are looking very strong. We might see a great game between the two powerhouses.

ENG vs WI: Pitch Report
The pitch at Riverside Ground is a good surface to bat on. This is not a big ground, and history suggests that teams have chased down scores more often here. The average first innings score here is 131, but with the two teams having some serious power hitters, we might see a 200+ total. The bowlers might get some assistance with the new ball, but there won’t be much as the ball gets old.
