After an intriguing Test series, the ODI series between Windies and England got off to a scintillating start. The difference this time was the visitors began on a winning note rather than the hosts. The Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados was witness to heaps of runs in the first game and it’s set to host the next one as well. Keep reading to find out Windies vs England 2nd ODI Match Prediction.
Windies batted first in the last game and saw the return of Chris Gayle. The Universe Boss, after a subdued start, came into his own. He struck 12 sixes in his knock of 135. Contributions from the middle-order took the hosts to a mammoth 360/8 at the halfway stage. It seemed as if Windies would clinch the game with a massive score.
But England proved why it’s being considered as the top contender for the ODI World Cup. Even a huge score didn’t bother the strong line-up. Jason Roy gave them the perfect platform by exploding in the beginning. He scored 123 from 85 balls. Then, Joe Root’s 102 and Eoin Morgan’s 65 guided the chase without too much fuss. They sailed past the line with 6 wickets and 8 balls to go.
