TSN’s Top 3 Predictions:
- Mitchell Owen to score 30+ runs – The debutant looked composed and aggressive, and is likely to continue his form in the middle order.
- Ben Dwarshuis to take 2+ wickets – With his precision at the death, Dwarshuis remains a major threat to West Indies’ power-hitters.
- Roston Chase to top-score for West Indies – Given his current form and top-order role, Chase is expected to anchor the innings once again.
