MATCH PREVIEW     

West Indies defeated England in the first game of the three-match series by 4 wickets. It was a much-needed win for the hosts after failing to qualify for the ICC Cricket World Cup. However, they still have a struggling bowling attack, and it will worry the side. England has come to this series with a new-look side after their debacle in the World Cup. While they batted well, their bowling attack let them down. Both sides would take their positives from the last game and must work on the negatives, and the side that bowls better has higher odds of winning the upcoming match.  

West Indies Preview      

Most cricket betting sites had written off Shai Hope's side before the start of the tournament. However, the hosts put up a brave show in the first game with the bat, led by their captain from the front. Hope would like to avoid any complacency from creeping in and needs a better show from his bowlers in this game.  

Alick Athanaze did well in the last game, and he will look to deliver a good start with Brandon King in this game. Shai Hope's hundred in the previous game will make him confident, and he must add runs in the middle order with Keacy Carty and Shimron Hetmyer. Romario Shepherd's cameo sealed it for the side, and he must do well in the finishers' role.  

The bowlers had a bad day in the last game, and the side will expect a good show from Alzarri Joseph and Romario Shepherd with the new ball. Gudakesh Motie was the pick of the bowlers, and he will look to do well in the middle overs with Oshane Thomas. Yannic Cariah must do well as the 5th bowler, as English bowlers will come hard at them.  

Expected Starting XI for West Indies     

Shai Hope (c & wk), Brandon King, Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Yannic Cariah, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Oshane Thomas 

England Preview     

Jos Buttler will be upset with the performance of his bowlers in the last game. They dominated the game for 95 overs in the previous game but lost the battle of nerves in the final stage. The team has a strong batting line-up and depth in the bowling attack. Buttler will look for a strong fightback from his players.  

Philip Salt and Will Jacks gave a good start in the last game, and the team will expect a similar show from the pair. The middle order did well in the 1st ODI, and they would like to see partnerships between Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, and Zak Crawley. The side bats deep and will need runs from Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, and Sam Curran.  

The bowling attack failed the side in the previous game. The side will need a good show with the new ball from Sam Curran and Gus Atkinson. Brydon Carse and Rehan Ahmed must bowl better lines in the middle overs for the side to do well. Livingstone and Will Jacks must be on their toes after West Indies' onslaught in the last game.  

Expected Starting XI for England     

Jos Buttler (c & wk), Philip Salt, Will Jacks, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Brydon Carse, Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson 

TOSS: To Bowl First      

The wicket will be good to bat on, and we expect to see it get slower as the game progresses. However, the weather predictions aren't good, and we may have a rain-curtailed match where the side chasing has an advantage. Hence, the side that wins the toss would like to bowl first in this contest.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

There are predictions of overcast conditions in Antigua on December 6, and we may see rain affecting the game. The conditions will make the wicket a bit tricky for the batsmen, and they have to apply themselves to do well. The side batting first will be happy to have 320 runs on the board.       
 

OUR PREDICTION      

West Indies come here with a win, but the side has struggled with consistency. Their bowlers are in poor form, and it may cost them against England's strong batting line-up. England has depth in the batting line-up, and on a tricky wicket under overcast conditions, England has an edge as per our cricket betting tips.
