Two teams that even the pundits find difficult to predict will come head to head in what will be one of the earlier matches to cherish in the Super Eights round of the ICC World Twenty20.
The match will be played on Thursday with England taking on West Indies in Pallekele.
England are the defending champions of the tournament but they are not being talked about as one of the top three contenders for the title this year.
The reasons, if not obvious enough, became far more evident in their capitulation against India.
Their heaviest defeat embarrassed many of their loyal fans as well and Stuart Broad knows that no more slip ups would be acceptable.
Tim Bresnan is likely to be axed for the match which brings into question the debate over the balance of the side.
Samit Patel could be a likely replacement with other bowlers expected to step up. Craig Keiswetter at the top of the innings will be crucial once again.
West Indies are one of the more unpredictable sides on the international circuit and such talent they boast of that their ardent fans are saddened by the inconsistency.
Darren Sammy, the captain, appeared calm during the press conference knowing that he has an array of players at his disposal who can turn the game on its head.
Sunil Narine will once again be the trump card, specially with English batsmen’s problems against spin bowling needing no further documentation.
Chris Gayle with the bat is a totally one-man show on his day and England would be well aware of that, having seen the return of the tall batsman in the English summer earlier.
Interestingly enough, West Indies progressed to Super Eights without winning a match - a record that England had in their triumphant campaign two years ago. The match starts at 7.30pm local time.
