WI vs ENG 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
West Indies and England play the second match of the three game ODI series with an afternoon start on Wednesday at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. It is the hosts who come into this game 1-0 up after winning by 4 wickets with 7 balls remaining in the opener on Sunday afternoon. Read on as we preview this match. The fixture begins in Antigua at 13:30 local time.
After the disappointment of failing to qualify for this year’s Cricket World Cup, winning the opening game of the series will have given West Indies a real boost of confidence. They will think they have an excellent opportunity to wrap up the series with this game.
This series was supposed to be the time for England to rebuild after their very disappointing Cricket World Cup performance in India but Sunday’s performance showed up plenty of weaknesses. There are some top players in the squad though and they will back themselves to level the series 1-1.

England won the toss and chose to bat first on Sunday before falling to defeat. The pitch is likely to be at its best for batting in the first innings so we predict that both teams will choose to bat first if they win the toss.
WI vs ENG Pitch Report
There were 651 runs at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Sunday and we expect another good batting wicket on Wednesday. There is not a huge amount of pace in the wicket but turn for the spinners.

ENG Team News
Six of England’s Cricket World Cup squad were in the XI for the opening game of the series on Sunday although two of them, captain Jos Buttler, produced the lowest score with the bat, and Sam Curran conceded 99 runs. We anticipate the same side to be given the chance to level the series in this ODI.

- Rehan Ahmed - The spinner is expected to be a permanent fixture for England across all formats over the next decade and he now has 7 wickets from three ODI innings.

England had come into this series following successive victories in ODIs but they will need to be far stronger with the bat in this game.
