WEST INDIES v NEW ZEALAND
The Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, San Fernando in Trinidad and Tobago will be the venue for this match.
The West Indies have played 2 matches and won both of them, they are sitting in second position in Group C on 4 points, the same amount of points as first placed Afghanistan with only a net run rate difference.
Their opening match against Papua New Guinea saw the Windies winning by 5 wickets. Their second match was a hammering of Uganda where they batted first and scored 173 for 5 in their 20 overs. They bowled the Ugandans out for 39 in 12 overs with Akeal Hosein taking 5 wickets for 11 runs in his 4 overs.
New Zealand are bottom of Group C, but have only played 1 match which was against Afghanistan. Afghanistan posted a target of 159 runs for 6 in 20 overs, but the Black Caps were all out in 15.2 overs having only reached 75 runs in total.

West Indies 13/20
New Zealand 12/10
Suggested Bet: New Zealand win at 12/10
The Black Caps have their backs to the wall after a terrible opener against Afghanistan but the squad has plenty of talent and even given home ground advantage I expect this to be a choice match.

Bangladesh 7/20
Netherlands 22/10
Suggested Bet: Top Bangladesh Bowler Rahman at 2/1
He has been excellent in both games and was unlucky to finish wicketless against South Africa and against Sri Lanka he picked up 3 scalps.
ENGLAND v OMAN
Group B will see England and Oman playing at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound in Antigua.
England have played two matches with their opening game against Scotland ending up as a no result due to weather conditions and losing their second game against Australia. Australia, batting first, had posted 201 for 7 in their 20 overs, but England could only manage to reach 165 for 6 in their 20 overs resulting in Australia winning by 36 runs.
Oman have played three and lost three. Their opener against Namibia was tied at 109 runs apiece after 20 overs, but Namibia won the Super Over. Their second match against Australia ended with Australia winning by 39 runs. Australia had in their 20 overs scored 164 for 5, but Oman could only end up on 125 for 9 in their 20 overs. In their third match they batted first and posted 150 for 7 in 20 overs, but Scotland achieved the victory in the 13.1 overs, scoring 153 for 3.

England 1/25
Oman 14/1
Suggested Bet: Player of the Match Will Jacks at 25/4
Jacks didn’t fire against Australia but he is well capable of winning the match with either bat or ball.
