Following their impressive victory over England(ENG) in the first ODI, West Indies(WI) enters the second match in Antigua on December 6 with a boost in confidence. Captain Shai Hope displayed remarkable batting prowess once again, and Alick Athanaze played a crucial role in guiding the Caribbean team to successfully chase down a target of 325 runs. England appeared to struggle with a lack of experience, and skipper Jos Buttler continued to grapple with poor form.
Following a disappointing showing in the recently concluded ODI World Cup, England underwent a revamp in their batting unit, introducing several new faces. While Phil Salt and Zak Crawley showed promise with decent starts, they were unable to capitalize on them. Despite Harry Brook's contribution of 71 runs, England found themselves under pressure after his dismissal. There is considerable room for improvement for the English team.

WI vs ENG: Pitch Report
The Antigua pitch favours batting, but spinners are expected to find more assistance compared to pacers. Batting during the middle overs might pose challenges, and a score above 320 is considered competitive. The captain winning the toss would likely opt to field first.
