West Indies A host England Lions in the second T20 of the England Lions tour of West Indies 2026 on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, in an evening game at Basseterre, St Kitts. This is an A-team tour fixture, so the focus is on emerging international talent, players pushing for higher honours and the chance to learn in Caribbean conditions, rather than on senior international rankings.
England Lions are led in this T20 series by Thomas Rew, and their squad is full of young players who have already shown promise in domestic cricket. West Indies A, meanwhile, bring local knowledge, Caribbean flair and a group of players eager to impress at home, which should make the second T20 a competitive contest after the series opened on 1 November.

Head-to-Head and Recent Form
This is an A-team tour series, and no head-to-head record is invented here. The honest position is that the series continues with the second T20 after the first T20 on 1 November, and the confirmed result of that opener will be covered in the recap. Form in an A-team series is best judged by individual development and by how well players adapt to conditions, rather than by a long series history, so the second T20 should be read as a fresh contest in which both sides can reset.
Pitch and Weather Report
Warm Caribbean evening conditions are expected at Basseterre for this T20. No specific temperature and no detailed pitch record are invented here, and readers should check the toss for the final pitch read, because the surface and the evening dew can change how the ball behaves in the second innings. In general, a Caribbean T20 surface should offer a fair contest between bat and ball, with early movement possible for seamers and spin becoming more important as the game goes on.
