Match Preview
The last time England traveled to the Caribbean for a white-ball tour against the West Indies, they ended up losing both the ODI and T20I series. In December 2023, England fell 1-2 in the ODI series and lost the five-match T20I series 2-3 to the same opponent. Heading into the 2nd ODI of the current series, England was under immense pressure.
With the series on the line, England delivered arguably their best batting display in an ODI in recent memory.
After winning the toss, England opted to bowl first, and the decision paid off immediately as the West Indies lost both openers within the first four overs. However, a fantastic 143-run partnership for the third wicket turned the game around. Keacy Carty (71 off 77), Shai Hope (117 off 127), and Sherfane Rutherford (54 off 36) combined to score 242 runs, helping the West Indies reach a total of 328/6 in 50 overs.
To stay alive in the series, England needed to win this match at all costs. That’s exactly what happened, albeit with a few hiccups. Chasing a large target required consistent hitting, but England managed only 107 runs from the first 120 balls. With three wickets already down and the required run rate climbing, England found their heroes in Jacob Bethell and Liam Livingstone, the latter scoring an unbeaten 127 runs off just 85 balls. Sam Curran also contributed with 52 runs off 52 balls, but it was Livingstone’s powerful hitting that ultimately snatched the game away from the hosts.

TOP Picks For WI vs ENG Dream 11 Match ahead of 3rd ODI
Captain Options:
- Liam Livingstone: England captain was superb in the last match, scoring a crucial innings of 124 runs off 85 balls. The 31-year-old hit nine maximums during that innings and showed once again why he is considered as one of the premium white-ball cricketer.
- Sam Curran: For some strange reasons, Sam Curran bowled only three overs in the last game, but he did play his part in the match after scoring 52 runs during the chase. He is simply a player who hardly leaves the pitch without impacting the match.
- Shai Hope: Just like his counterpart, Shai Hope also scored a brilliant century in the last match. It was his second ODI hundred against England in five innings. His record against England is good and West Indies would be eying another high score against his favorite opponent.
- Sherfane Rutherford: With four half centuries in his last four innings, Sherfane Rutherford is on a hot streak at the moment. In fact, the 26-year-old has scored five half centuries in just 7 innings. What a great start to his ODI career.
Vice-Captain Options:
- Matthew Forde: Following two wickets in the first match, Forde was once again West Indies’ best bowler with three wickets in the 2nd ODI. He is worth the risk in WI vs ENG Dream11 Grand League teams.
- Phil Salt: England’s wicketkeeper is another high-profile player with the ability to change the game in a matter of just a few overs. He likes to be aggressive right from the first ball, and his presence at the top makes a significant difference to England’s batting setup.
- Roston Chase: Scored an unbeaten 20 runs and picked up a wicket as well. The 32-year-old all-rounder can definitely impact any match with both bat and ball.
