England vs Windies DREAM11 GRAND LEAGUE TEAM | England vs Windies | England tour of Windies 2019

Grenada, February 25, Friday at 07:00 PM IST

So, the series is tied 1-1, with three more games to go. A terrific turnaround from the hosts saw them clinch 26 runs win in the second ODI and level the series by 1-1. Both the sides will now feature at National Cricket Stadium, St George’s, Grenada on Monday evening for the third ODI to take the lead.

Hetmyer’s ton and Cottrell’s Fifer powers WI Win

Having put into bat first, Windies started well with Chris Gayle’s 63-ball fifty and were lifted to a challenging total of 289-6 with Shimron Hetmyer’s unbeaten ton. Coming to chase, England had a shaky start and both the openers were sent back to pavilion under 10 runs on board by Sheldon Cottrell. At one time the visitors were reduced to 60-3 and Windies were looking way ahead in the contest but Eoin Morgan (70 of 83) and Ben Stokes (79 of 85) resurrected the innings. However, Cottrell got rid of Morgan in the 31st over to apply brakes to England’s run chase the visitors were once again in trouble. The growing pressure then took a toll on England’s lower order and they were bundled out for 263-10 in 47.4 overs. Sheldon Cottrell was the pick of bowlers for Windies after bagging his maiden fifer (5-46).

An eye on the series lead

As the sides head to St George’s, Grenada for the third ODI, both the sides would be looking to take the lead further in series. As far as changes are concerned, the hosts might remain unchanged. England, on the opposite, would be tempted to bring in Chris Woakes back in the squad after giving him rest in the second ODI. Expect Tom Curran to make way for Woakes.

It was unnecessary to push Woakes’ knee to the limit with back-to-back games
