England chases white-ball history
England, the 2010 T20 champions, are trying to be the first team to win the 50-over and T20 World Cups simultaneously. Captain Eoin Morgan said that his players still feel motivated by the loss in 2016.
England has won three of their T20 matches against West Indies, but they have never been beaten at the T20 World Cup.
Morgan's team lost to India, and beat New Zealand in the warm-up matches.
He said, "We've played some the best cricket ever in T20 World Cups. So guys are excited."
"Given our experience in 2016 and the ride we took, it was incredible, extremely enjoyable."
Chris Gayle, West Indies legend, is 42 years old and forms part of a strong batting lineup that also includes Andre Russell, Nicholas Pooran, and captain Kieron pollard.
