WI vs ENG 2nd ODI: Following their thumping win in the first ODI of the three-match series against England, West Indies sit on the brink of a rare ODI series win against the Three Lions. They stunned the 2019 ODI World champions when Shai Hope's century and Romario Shepherd's blistering knock powered the Windies to a four-wicket win. The 326-run chase was West Indies' second-highest chase in the ODI history.
England would be fighting to stay in the hunt after some of their bowlers, particularly Sam Curran endured a horrific outing in the first ODI. The second match of the series will be played at the same venue where the first one was held - Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua. Here is all you need to know about the venue.

England scored 325 and West Indies came and chased the target. This was also the highest score chased at this venue ever.
