The second edition of the three-match ODI series between the West Indies and England will take place on Wednesday afternoon at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The hosts lead this game 1-0 after winning the opening by 4 wickets with 7 balls remaining on Sunday afternoon. The game begins at 13:30 local time in Antigua.

After the heartbreak of failing to qualify for this year’s Cricket World Cup, West Indies will have gained a lot of confidence after winning the first game of the series. They’ll believe they have a great chance to win the series with this match.

This series was intended to be a chance for England to rebuild following their disastrous World Cup performance in India, but Sunday’s performance exposed many flaws. However, the roster contains some talented players who are confident in their ability to tie the series 1-1.

WI vs ENG Team Preview & Squads

West Indies

West Indies won their previous game by a margin of four wickets. In this encounter, the Windies bowled first and set a goal of 326 runs in 50 overs. Romario Shepherd, Motie, and Oshane Thomas each took three wickets for the squad. They bowled well and took the wickets needed to keep the English batsmen at bay.

West Indies enter this game hoping for their second victory in three games in this format.

The Windies batters batted brilliantly as they chased down this total with four wickets to spare. Captain Shai Hope led from the front, scoring 109 runs, and remaining not out in a match-winning innings. He will be crucial to the West Indies’ comeback in future years.

In the encounter on Sunday, vice-captain Alzarri Joseph started the bowling and got rid of England’s opener Will Jacks. He has already amassed 105 career wickets in ODIs. In the first game of the series, 28-year-old spinner Gudakesh Motie returned the best statistics of 2/49, so he will be very confident going into this match.

West Indies Squads

West Indies

Shai Hope (c & wk), Brandon King, Keacy Carty, Shimron Hetmyer, Alick Athanaze, Sherfane Rutherford, Yannic Cariah, Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph, Oshane Thomas, and Gudakesh Motie.

England

England was defeated by four wickets in the first encounter of the series. Team England batted first in the match, scoring 325 runs. With 71 runs in the middle order, Harry Brook was the team’s leading scorer. He was important in his squad achieving a decent score.

England came into this series with a string of ODI victories, but they will need to be significantly more potent with the bat in this match.

The English bowlers, on the other hand, were unable to defend the target because the opposition batters were all over them. Gus Atkinson and Rehan Ahmed were effective with the ball, both taking two wickets. This was insufficient, as the opposition comfortably chased down the score in the end.

Gus Atkinson, a back-up bowler rather than a first-choice bowler at the Cricket World Cup, opened the innings with the ball, dismissing Shimron Hetmyer and Romario Shepherd in the opening ODI. Rehan Ahmed, England’s spinner, is anticipated to be a constant presence across all forms over the next decade, and he currently has 7 wickets from three ODI innings.

England Squads

England

Jos Buttler (c & wk), Philip Salt, Zak Crawley, Will Jacks, Ben Duckett, Sam Curran, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Brydon Carse, Gus Atkinson, and Rehan Ahmed.

WI vs ENG outfield report

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium

On Sunday, England won the toss and elected to bat first before succumbing to loss. Because the pitch is likely to be at its best for batting in the first innings, we predict that if either team wins the toss, they will choose to bat first.

The weather is not projected to vary significantly throughout the game, with temperatures in the mid-to-high 20s. There is a slight danger of rain interfering with the game a couple of times.

On Sunday, there were 651 runs at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, and we anticipate another decent batting wicket on Wednesday. There isn’t much pace on the wicket, but there is plenty of turn for spinners.
