ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction, 2nd ODI: England will be eyeing a series-clinching victory when they take on the West Indies in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Sunday.

Under the new leadership of Harry Brook, England began the series with a commanding 238-run win in the first ODI. With a powerful batting performance that saw them post 400 on the board, the hosts dominated with both bat and ball.

West Indies, meanwhile, were completely outplayed and will need a massive turnaround to keep the series alive. While they remain an unpredictable side, the gulf in performance levels between the two teams was clear in the opening encounter.

Pitch and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Sophia Gardens offers good bounce and is a decent surface for batting. However, the overcast skies in Cardiff might favour seam bowlers, particularly in the first 10 overs. Chasing has been a successful strategy at this venue, with over 70% wins going to the side batting second.

The weather forecast for Sunday shows a 15% chance of light rain during the afternoon. The temperature is expected to be around 17°C, with moderate humidity at 59%.

England vs West Indies Previews

England

Ben Duckett continues to be England's reliable top-order performer, while Joe Root's class and calmness add solidity. Captain Harry Brook impressed with a 58 in the first ODI, and Jos Buttler remains their X-factor finisher. Jacob Bethell was the star of the opening game, while Jamie Smith and Will Jacks offer additional depth. England's bowling attack, led by Adil Rashid and Saqib Mahmood, is well-rounded with pace and spin options.

West Indies

West Indies need their batting unit to fire. Shai Hope, their captain and most consistent ODI player, is central to their chances. Keacy Carty and Justin Greaves offer potential, while Brandon King needs to rediscover his form. In the bowling department, Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie must step up after being outplayed in the first match. Roston Chase's all-round ability can be crucial.
