West Indies (WI) will be up against England (ENG) in the second ODI of the series at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, in Antigua. West Indies currently has the lead of 1-0 in the series. The onus will be on England to win the game at all costs to stay alive in the series. That augurs well for a cracking contest between the two sides.

After having a forgettable year in ODIs for the most part in the year, West Indies seemed to have come with new energy for the series against England. Despite not qualifying for the ODI World Cup 20923, the home side has retained a good squad for ODIs. In the first ODI, West Indies chased 326 against England with the help of the knocks of Shai Hope and Alick Athanaze.

England, on the other hand, had a forgettable outing in the ODI World Cup 2023. The former world champions barely qualified for the Champions Trophy 2024 by winning the last two matches of their campaign. But with a young squad touring the Caribbean islands, England lost the first match. The second ODI will be crucial for them as far as the series is concerned.

WI vs ENG: Likely Playing and Pitch Conditions

The second ODI of the series is set to be played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua. The surface usually has something in it for the bowlers. Early in the innings, there is some seam and swing on offer for the pacers. The spinners can grip the ball. But with the progression of the innings, the wicket is expected to get the batter to bat on.

Since it would be a day game, the dew factor would not affect the game. Hence, toss will not be a factor. Teams would not mind losing the toss, as batting first and having runs on board might be helpful. While West Indies pulled off a very good run chase the last time they played England, the same cannot be expected at the venue during the second ODI.
