WI vs ENG 2nd ODI: Can England Bounce Back Against The Red-Hot West Indies?

Led by Shai Hope, West Indies had an outstanding start to the series, swatting aside England by eight wickets in the first ODI in Antigua. Despite valiant knocks from stand-in skipper Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran, the hosts managed to restrict England to a paltry 209-run total, thanks to Gudakesh Motie's sensational four-wicket haul. Apart from the left-arm spinner, Jayden Seales was exceptional with the ball for West Indies, registering impressive figures of two for 22 in eight overs. 

In response, West Indies aced the chase without breaking a sweat, with Evin Lewis blowing England away with a belligerent 69-ball 94. The swashbuckling southpaw tormented the visitors' bowling unit, hammering five fours and eight massive sixes. 

Thus, the hosts would like to extend their two-match winning streak in ODIs, while the Three Lions would be desperate for a payback. England will particularly need significant knocks from Phil Salt and Will Jacks, who departed for low scores in the opening encounter.

The surface at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua won't likely offer significant seam movement. However, the tacky nature of the pitch might keep the spinners interested throughout the match. Considering it's a day game, it won't be surprising if the toss-winning team chooses to bat first.
