by Anshuman Roy · CricketAddictorAntigua is all set to host the WI vs ENG 2nd ODI on Wednesday, December 6. This is a must-win game for England who lost the first ODI. This is a three-match ODI series. Both teams will play a five-match T20I series after the end of the ODI series.
Jos Buttler leads England while Shai Hope is leading the West Indies. Hope is fresh off a match-winning knock against England in the first ODI. He scored an unbeaten 109 to win the first ODI.
England’s wretched period in ODIs continued as they lost even after scoring 325 with the bat. Their inexperienced bowling attack could not defend the massive total. All of their bowlers barring Rehan Ahmed went for an economy of over 6.
The second ODI is a must-win game for the visitors to keep the series alive. It will be interesting to see how the inexperienced bowling attack turns up in the second ODI. Sam Curran went for 98 off 9.5 overs. West Indies bowlers were expensive too but their batters did the job for the team.
