WI vs ENG : What happened when they last played ODI?
In their last encounter in 2023, West Indies made history by defeating England by four wickets (DLS method) in the final match of a rain-affected series, clinching the three-match series 2-1. Having won the toss, the hosts chose to bowl first, and England managed to score 206/9 in a match reduced to 40 overs as debutant Matthew Forde picked up 3/29.
Rain interruptions left the West Indies with a requirement of 188 runs from 34 overs. Early wickets, including Brandon King, Alick Athanaze (45), and Keacy Carty (50), added significantly to 76 runs for the second wicket.
Although the wickets tumbled, it was all well for the side thanks to Romario Shepherd's fireworks of 41 off 28 balls and Forde's solidity as they chased the game. Gus Atkinson's costly 31st over, where he conceded 24 runs, shifted momentum toward the West Indies.
Will Jacks stood out for England with 3/22, but it was not enough as the hosts achieved victory with nine runs needed from the final three overs.
