ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction: 3 Differentials you can pick for today's Women's T20 World Cup 2024 match - October 15, 2024

England and the West Indies will square off in the final group-stage match of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 on Tuesday, October 15. The Dubai International Cricket Stadium will host the vital clash.

The fate of the qualifiers from Group B to the semi-finals rests on this match as all three of England, West Indies, and South Africa have a chance to make it to the knockout stages.

The West Indies are on a roll after winning their last two matches quite convincingly against Bangladesh and Scotland, respectively. Their high net run rate means that a win will help them qualify at the top of Group B. The Windies also have the added advantage of familiarity with Dubai conditions, playing two of their three games at that venue.

England, meanwhile, have won all three of their matches so far, but they'll want to ensure they win here to confirm their spot at the top of Group B, enabling them to avoid facing Australia in the semi-finals.

With plenty of stars on show, this should be a fitting spectacle to bring the group stage to a close. On that note, let's take a look at some underrated players who could become valuable differential picks on Dream11.

#3 Aaliyah Alleyne (ALL - WI)

West Indies all-rounder Aaliyah Alleyne could be a quality Dream11 differential pick. The 29-year-old has featured in all three of her side's games but hasn't been able to to showcase her talents.

The seam-bowling all-rounder is a powerful batter capable of playing some handy cameos. Against a potent England bowling unit, she's likely to get called upon to wield the willow. She's also a medium pacer with a knack for picking up wickets, and while she has only been bowling one to two overs so far, she has what it takes to make an impact in that over.

While her performances at this World Cup and her status in the team as a utility player aren't the best for a Dream11 option, if things go right, she does have a high points ceiling, making her a risky but potentially rewarding differential.

#2 Alice Capsey (ALL - ENG)

England batting all-rounder Alice Capsey missed their last match against Scotland due to illness, but she should recover in time to feature in this crucial game for her team. The 20-year-old should slot in at No. 3 for England and is known for her attacking and aggressive batting style.

Capsey hasn't made as many runs as she would've liked in the two matches she featured in, but in her defense, she did bat at No. 5 in the first game against a quality Bangladesh spin-bowling lineup at Sharjah. She then did well to score a 16-ball 19 in a tricky chase against South Africa.

As the action shifts to a much better batting wicket at Dubai, Capsey could wreak havoc against the West Indies bowlers if she gets going, especially if she walks out to bat in the powerplay. A Dream11 pick with lots of points potential, Alice Capsey is a powerful differential.

#1 Lauren Bell (BOWL - ENG)

Lauren Bell made her first appearance at this World Cup, replacing Linsey Smith against Scotland, and vindicated that decision, bowling a tight spell of 1/16 in four overs, picking up the wicket of Lorna Jack-Brown. With England playing in Dubai for the first time this tournament, Bell should retain her place in the XI and if she does, she presents a compelling case to make it into your Dream11 teams.

The 23-year-old's wicket-taking records speak for themselves. She has picked up 33 wickets in 24 matches, averaging a solid 17.18. Bell, who bowls both with the new ball and at the death, has done well against the West Indies, picking up nine wickets in only four matches at an average of 8.8.

If she's in the playing XI, she's a gem of a pick and a Dream11 must-have for this match.
