After a rain-affected opening match in the ODI series, West Indies and England are set to clash in the second game on Saturday, November 2, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua. With the hosts taking a 1-0 lead, all eyes are on England to make a comeback and level the series.
The first ODI proved challenging for both teams due to rain interruptions, but it ultimately played in favour of West Indies, who managed to secure a victory. England, on the other hand, faced batting woes that hindered their efforts and cost them the match. Leading the charge for West Indies was Evin Lewis, whose powerful batting display ensured another triumphant outcome for the hosts. With their confidence bolstered, West Indies will look to carry this momentum into the second match.
For England, overcoming their batting struggles will be essential if they hope to mount a successful response. The team will need contributions from their top and middle order to avoid a repeat of the first game’s performance.
