WI vs ENG 2nd ODI Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today’s ODI Match? 2023

The WI vs ENG 2nd ODI will be played in Antigua on December 6. Wednesday. The hosts won the first ODI by four wickets and are ahead in the three-match series. England needs to win the second ODI to level the series. All three ODIs start at 7 pm IST. 

Shai Hope guided the West Indies to a chase of 326 in the first ODI in Antigua. He scored an unbeaten 109 to take his team home. Alick Athanaze scored 66 at the top and the game was finished by Romario Shepherd (49 off 28) and Shimton Heymyer (32 off 30). 

England, unfortunately, did not have a great start to the series. They have a relatively young squad with Jos Buttler, the skipper the only player with 100 ODIs. England looks a team in transition after the forgetful World Cup campaign they had in the ICC World Cup 2023. They now face a must-win situation heading into the second ODI. 

West Indies is led by Shai Hope. They are also a team in transition with Nicholas Pooran stepping down from captaincy after they failed to qualify for the World Cup. Hope is amongst the top scorers in this side and the batter with most runs in this calendar year for the national team.
