Cricket Prediction | England vs West Indies | 2nd Test | July 18, 2024 – Let’s see Who will win the 2nd match of this series.
ENG vs WI Match Analysis
When England plays the West Indies in the second test match of the series at Trent Bridge in Nottingham, they will be looking to build on their impressive start. England will be trying to dominate the opposition once more after firmly securing a 1-0 lead in the series. With other positives, this powerful England team managed to give James Anderson a suitable send-off, while the West Indies seemed to offer very little in the way of talent. West Indies hardly made a dent during the two innings, but England had many outstanding individual efforts to draw on.
Players like Jamie Smith, Gus Atkinson, and Zak Crawley would be back in the spotlight for this encounter. In the first test, all three players performed quite well. West Indies will be eager to avoid dropping this game because that would mean giving up the series.

ENG vs WI Team Preview & Squads
England
much though England won handily by an innings and 114 runs, their triumph may have been much greater had some of their best players not played well at bat. Despite playing on a flat ground that allowed for some spectacular shots, none of the players managed to score a century.
Jamie Smith and Crawley both managed to score above 70. On a field like this, Joe Root would have been hoping for a century, but he also made some bad decisions. Ben Stokes’ dismal run at bat continued as he was bowled out for just four runs. In a test match against India in January 2024, Stokes’ final half-century came in cricket.
With good reason, Gus Atkinson was the star of the show. Though Atkinson’s performances suggested that England had a great substitute, Anderson was clearly on his way out. After taking 12 wickets in two innings, Atkinson finished with the highest figures of any New England bowler in over a century.
England Squads
Ben Stokes (c), Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Harry Brook, Chris Woakes, Jamie Smith, Gus Atkinson, Joe Root, Shoaib Bashir, Ben Duckett, James Anderson
West Indies
The West Indies will require the same level of response that they displayed during their winter tour to Australia. West Indies made an incredible comeback to win the second test and tie the series after losing the first one by a 10-wicket margin. From the first test at Lord’s, West Indies can take away a few advantages. To begin with, the team performed admirably, holding England to just 371 on a ground that was perfect for batting.
Despite having a wealth of skill within their ranks, the tourists were unable to convert their opportunities at bat. Not a single player reached a half-century. In the two innings, just one guy was able to bat for more than 30 runs. For the West Indies batsman, getting back among runs is the only option.
The standout bowler for the West Indies was Jayden Seales, who took four wickets in his 20 overs. Among the six bowlers employed by skipper Kraigg Brathwaite, he was also the most economical. Gudakesh Motie and Jason Holder both contributed two wickets apiece.
West Indies Squads
Kraigg Brathwaite (c), Kirk McKenzie, Kavem Hodge, Joshua Da Silva, Alzarri Joseph, Jason Holder, Gudakesh Motie, Alick Athanaze, Shamar Joseph, Mikyle Louis, Jayden Seales
