Here are Tom Clee's cricket betting tips for England v West Indies, which starts at 10:30am on Friday.
Nicholas Pooran to score over 27.5 runs
Pooran had only played in one ODI before this World Cup, but scores of 34* and 40 in the Windies' two completed matches suggest he'll soon be a fixture at No.4.
He should make another contribution against an England attack that have allowed their opposition's third-wicket partnership to score an average of 93 runs so far this tournament.
Carlos Brathwaite to take over 1.5 wickets
The Windies' frontline bowlers have got most of the attention, but Brathwaite – with three wickets during Australia's final five overs – boasted the best figures the only time they’ve bowled the full 50 overs.
England should bat the distance but lost three during the same period against Bangladesh, and have been haunted by Brathwaite before.
Shai Hope to take over 2.5 catches
Nine of the 22 wickets taken by the Windies at this World Cup have been pouched by Hope behind the stumps.
He's racked up eight catches in his last three appearances against England, so three more shouldn't be too much to ask on Friday.
