West Indies vs England First ODI
England have been a regular visitor to the West Indian shores; they have played three white-ball series since 2022. In this latest trip, they are set to play three ODIs and five T20Is, starting with the first ODI at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Thursday night.

The visitors have lost regular captain Jos Buttler to a long-standing injury, which leaves them slightly depleted. Not just that, the Windies have done well in recent times against England and should be confident of surprising the visitors. I am backing the home team to win here.
- West Indies won 4 of their last 6 home matches against England (ODIs)
- West Indies won 5 of their last 6 matches at this venue (ODIs)
- England lost 2 of their last 3 matches against the Windies (ODIs)
Head to Head
West Indies and England played 105 ODIs so far, of which there have been 53 wins for England, 46 wins for the Windies, and six ended without a result.
The last time these sides played was in December 2023 in the Windies, when the home team won 2-1. The first two matches in that series were played at this venue, with the West Indies winning the first and England winning the second.
West Indies Form
The Windies were last seen in a three-match series in Sri Lanka, which they lost 2-1. The lone win came in the final match of the series when they won by eight wickets (DLS method).
Sherfane Rutherford was the best batter for the Windies in that series with 204 runs across three innings, with fifties in each of the matches. With the ball, there wasn’t much to talk about other than the four wickets taken by Gudakesh Motie and Alzarri Joseph.
There was just one change to the team, with Alick Athanaze replaced by Shimron Hetmyer. Captain Shai Hope will hope for a revival of fortunes, as his last seven ODIs saw him pass 25 just once.
West Indies Team News
The home team could retain the same team that played the final ODI against Sri Lanka, unless they look to play Hetmyer in place of Jewel Andrew.
England Form
England last played in the ODIs in September, when they lost 3-2 to Australia. They have been playing very few games in this format and have lost four of their last six ODIs.
For the visitors, Harry Brook and Ben Duckett aggregated 300+ runs in that series against Australia, while Matthew Potts and Brydon Carse have taken eight wickets each for the Poms.
Liam Livingstone will be the stand-in captain, while the likes of Jordan Cox and Jacob Bethell will look to make the most of their rare chance.
England Team News
Jofra Archer, Saqib Mahmood, and Reece Topley are likely to be England’s main bowlers, while Jacks and Bethell could be asked to shore up their middle order.

England travel here with a weakened squad, which adds to the strength of the home team. The Windies have a good record against England recently and could continue that here with a win. I am putting my money on the home team winning here.
