Despite their humiliating defeat against India, England still made it through to the Super Eight stage of the World T20 and William Hill make them 4/5 to qualify for the Semi Final. First, however, Stuart Broad's troops have to take on the West Indies, who are 13/2 to win the tournament and 10/11 to emerge from Thursday’s match with a victory.

After being bowled out for 80 against India, William Hill are offering 33/1 that England are all out for less than 100.

England really struggled against spin in their match against India and spinner Sunil Narine is 5/2 favourite to be top wicket-taker for the West Indies. The only batsman who came out of the India game with any credit was Craig Kieswetter and he is 10/3 favourite to be England’s top run scorer on Thursday.

"England's frailties against spin on the sub-continent were highlighted once again against India and Narine is going to be a very popular choice to take the most wickets for the Windies," said William Hill cricket betting spokesman Joe Crilly.
