Fantasy tips for the 2nd ODI between England and West Indies.

The second One-Day International between the West Indies (WI) and England (ENG) will take place at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. The home team hammered the visitors by 238 runs in the opening game to take the lead. 

England’s top seven all scored over 30 runs – the first in ODI history – to post 400 on the board. Jacob Bethell struck an impressive 82 off 53 with Ben Duckett, Joe Root, and Harry Brook also scoring fifties.  

Chasing the target, West Indies had a huge collapse with none of their batters touching the 30-run mark. Saqib Mahmood and Jamie Overton claimed three wickets each for the hosts. The visitors will be hoping for a better outing in the second game to level the series.
