It’s West Indies vs England 2nd ODI on Sunday, March 2 in Antigua at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
England got off the a strong start in the first ODI but ultimately lost to the West Indies by 15 runs.
ESPN reported that: “A lack of experience and composure were obvious in the first match, with England dominating for the first 35 overs of each innings, before squandering their position with poor late-order batting and wretched death bowling.”
The second match begins at 9.30 a.m. local time (1.30 p.m. GMT).
The match will be live streamed on Sky Sports, which will also show highlights of the match later in the day.
Sunil Narine and Dwayne Bravo led the West Indies in the comeback. They will likely lead the team in this game as well.
A lot of eyes will be on Jos Butler, the 23-year-old Somerset star, for England in this match.
England coach Ashley Giles has had to respond to allegations that he’s treating this tour like a job interview.
“I can’t coach and manage this side right now with the view of it being a job interview,” Giles told ESPN. “I’m here to create the right environment and of course to win games of cricket for England. That’s going to be a process as well. We are in a rebuilding and development phase.
“If I was that concerned about results and this being my job interview, why wouldn’t Anderson, Cook and Bell be here during this one-day series? This is about preparing this side as best we can for Bangladesh and the World T20.”
However, Giles admitted that he was concerned over being judged on the results in Australia, in particular, when England was missing a number of players and was beatn 4-1 in the ODIs and then 2-0 in the T20s.
