After stunning England in the first ODI, West Indies would ride high on confidence ahead of the second match in Antigua on December 6. Skipper Shai Hope was incredible with the bat yet again while Alick Athanaze played an important knock to help the Caribbean team chase down 325 runs. England seemed to lack experience while skipper Jos Buttler’s poor form continued.

After a dismal performance in the recently concluded ODI World Cup, England changed their batting unit and introduced a lot of new faces. The likes of Phil Salt and Zak Crawley managed to get a good start but failed to convert it. Harry Brook played for his 71 but after he got out, England were under pressure. There remains a lot of room for improvement for England.

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium Pitch Report

The surface in Antigua is good for batting but the spinners will get a lot of help in compared to pacers. Batting in the middle overs can get tougher as anything above 320 will be a good score. The captain winning the toss should elect to bowl first.

Probable Top Performers from WI vs ENG

Probable Best Batter:

Shai Hope (West Indies)

West Indies skipper Shai Hope is a force to reckon with in this format of the game. He hit his fastest ODI century in the last match and is well accustomed to the conditions of Antigua. The 30-year-old has represented West Indies in 119 ODI matches so far and has scored 5049 runs.

Probable Best Bowler:

Rehan Ahmed (England)

Youngster Rehan Ahmed picked up two wickets in the last match and gave away 40 runs in 10 overs. In spin-friendly conditions, the cricketer can once again become a threat for West Indies.
