Predicting the West Indies’ Playing XI for their 2nd ODI vs England

The West Indies cricket team is all set to lock horns against England in the second ODI of the three-match series slated to take place on June 1 at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, Wales. The hosts have already won the series opener and are just one win away from sealing the series.

However, the visitors need to stage their comeback to level up the series in this game. They boast a strong squad and an overall balanced team, which gives them an edge over the hosts in this game. Here is the probable playing XI of the West Indies against England.

Openers: Brandon King, Justin Greaves

The duo needs to bat well in this game. King has just made 10 runs, while Greaves departed for four runs in the last game. The opening batters need to step up in this game if they wish to level up the series to take it to the final game. King is one of the best batters and has shattered multiple records. His great start might put pressure on the hosts’ bowling unit.

Batters: Keacy Carty, Shai Hope, Jewel Andrew, Amir Jangoo

Carty has been one of the best performers in the game. Wicketkeeper-batter Shai Hope has made 25 off 21 balls in the series-opening game. They need to step up to boost the top order of the game. Andrew and Jangoo were deported for single digits in the last clash. The duo also needs to perform well, especially in pressure situations.

All-rounders: Roston Chase, Matthew Forde

Roston Chase and Matthew Forde have been the world’s best all-rounders; they guided the Windies to win the matches single-handedly. The duo must be aiming to step up with both the bat and the ball in this game to help the side level up the series.

Bowlers: Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales

Motie has been one of the best bowlers from the side. However, he failed to take any wickets in the last game. Seales was outstanding in the last game, having picked up four wickets, but still failed to put pressure on the English batting unit, while Joseph picked up two wickets in the last game.
