After edging Scotland in net-run-rate via big wins over Oman and Namibia to get out of the group stage, England find themselves up against both co-hosts in the Super 8s.
After tonight’s meeting with West Indies in Saint Lucia, they face a strongly-tipped South Africa side and the USA.
The top two qualify from each four-team group to the semi-finals.
The West Indies promise to be a very difficult test having won all of their games at the tournament so far.
This one will be an early (or late) watch for fans back in England.
