West Indies vs England 2nd ODI Match Prediction: West Indies will go up against England in the 2nd ODI match of the series after winning the first match by four wickets, but England will look to bounce back in the next match on December 6, 2023.

West Indies team is looking all new with new players and energy after Shai Hope was given the captaincy. It was an amazing innings by Shai Hope as he took the game deep and won it for his team. He was given the player of the match for 109 runs in just 83, and he told in the Post Match conference that he had a chat with MS Dhoni, who told him that you do have a lot of time in the match, so take the game in the last phase and then play your shot which he did in his cricketing career.

England is in deep trouble, and the board should make some bold decision if they want England cricket to rise up again because the way they performed in the ODI World Cup and then in the last match against the West Indies was quite basic, which is not the way England playing cricket over the years. The way the bowling unit performed in the previous match was not up to the mark, and they needed some domestic star players to come up to the stage to showcase their skills.

West Indies will be looking to keep their form and win the 2nd match to win the series, but England is going to come strong because they do not have any option now. They might make a few changes in the squad, as Jos Buttler recently said that he is looking forward to focusing more on T20 and Test matches.
