Toss Prediction
Since only two of the past eight one-day internationals played at the Trent Bridge have been won by the side batting first, the team that wins the toss here may want to have a bowl first. England have three wins and a tie in their last four ODIs at this venue in which they have batted second. So it's a good idea to bet on the hosts if they are going to chase.

England Team News & Playing 11
Team News
England selectors are likely to retain Jonny Bairstow who made the most of his opportunity by bringing up his maiden ODI century in the first game. This means that Jason Roy will have to wait a little longer for his turn.
Key Players
This England batting lineup is stuffed with quality batsmen but the ones who will be the absolute key for the side on Thursday are Eoin Morgan and Joe Root. The former is England's second-highest ODI run-getter at the Trent Bridge while the latter continued his rich vein of form with a fifty in the first game. Ben Stokes was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets and he can be threatening with the bat as well. Chris Woakes has seven wickets from four ODIs at this ground and he could present a stiff challenge to the West Indian batsmen.
Recent Form
This was England's eighth victory in the ten one-day internationals they have played at home since the start of this year. This clearly goes to show how dominating they have been in their own backyard when it comes to the 50-over format of the game.
England Predicted XI
-
Eoin Morgan (c), Alex Hales, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (wk), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett, David Willey
West Indies Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There were no news of any injuries in the West Indian camp at the time of writing and despite the defeat in the first ODI, the team could go in with an unchanged lineup for this upcoming fixture.
Key Players
The top three - Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis and Shai Hope - form the pillars of the West Indian batting. They could not contribute much at Manchester and the team will dearly need them to score the big runs in this match. Kesrick Williams provided a couple of quick breakthroughs to stir some hope into the side while Ashley Nurse was quite successful in keeping the England batsman from scoring at a brisk rate. These two bowlers will be the best bets with the ball for the West Indies going into the second ODI.
Recent Form
The problem for West Indies in the longer format does not seem to end. They have now lost four of their last five ODIs and they have not really been able to stretch their opponents outside of T20 cricket. Their last win came against India at home earlier in July.
West Indies Predicted XI
-
Jason Holder (c), Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Marlon Samuels, Shai Hope (wk), Rovman Powell, Jason Mohammed, Devendra Bishoo, Ashley Nurse, Jerome Taylor, Kesrick Williams

England vs West Indies Head to Head
England have now recorded 13 victories over the West Indies in the previous 14 completed one-day internationals between the two sides. The visitors, however, have an upper hand in terms of head-to-head battle at the Trent Bridge as they have beaten the hosts here four times out of five in the past.
England vs West Indies 2nd ODI Betting Odds
West Indies, after showcasing an insipid performance in the first ODI, begin as big underdogs for the second game at 4.1 with Betfair and 3.50 with Bet365. They failed to produce an allround effort at Manchester which eventually led to their undoing. England on the other hand continue to remain the bookmakers' favorite at extremely short odds of 1.31 with betfair and 1.30 with bet365. The hosts reaped the rewards of the slight changes they had made to their lineup ahead of the first game which lent more stability to the side.
England vs West Indies 2nd ODI Prediction
West Indies will feel dejected as they failed to build on the momentum of their T20I win. Moreover, Tuesday's defeat means that they will now have to progress through to the qualifying tournament to enter the 2019 World Cup. England bounced back and showed their class with a complete performance to convincingly beat the Windies in the first game. The hosts also have an impressive recent record at the Trent Bridge having lost just two of their previous eight ODIs here. The tourists will have to come up with better bowling plans if they are to have any chance on this flat surface. But at the moment, it's England who are looking superior and so we predict them to go 2-0 up.
Final Verdict: Back England to beat West Indies in the second ODI at 1.31 with betfair and 1.30 with bet365.
