England Women Preview
England Women came into this series high on confidence, and their performance in the first ODI was nothing short of dominant. Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones laid a solid foundation with a massive 222-run opening partnership. Beaumont’s experience and current ODI average of 62 make her a key figure in this setup. Amy Jones’ ability to rotate strike and accelerate makes England’s top order a genuine threat.
With Heather Knight missing out due to injury, Emma Lamb had a chance but faltered with the bat. Still, Nat Sciver-Brunt’s composure in the middle order brought stability. Her 52 in the first ODI emphasized her consistent impact in home conditions.
The bowling department was impressive, led by debutant Linsey Smith who picked up 5 wickets. Kate Cross, a reliable performer, continues to strike with the new ball and has a great track record against West Indies. Em Arlott also made a handy contribution with two wickets.
Lauren Bell and Alice Capsey provide balance, while Dunkley’s form remains a slight concern. However, the all-round strength and confidence of this squad make them favorites heading into the 2nd ODI.
West Indies Women Preview
Despite a loss in the opening game, West Indies Women can take positives into this must-win encounter. Hayley Matthews continues to be their best all-rounder. With 48 runs and 2 wickets in the first ODI, she remains a central figure for their success. Her ODI form – 430 runs and 19 wickets in her last 10 matches – confirms her elite status.
Opening partner Qiana Joseph impressed with a half-century. The duo will again be relied upon to provide a good start. However, the middle order has been underwhelming. Shemaine Campbelle’s poor average (15) against England reflects the struggles faced by West Indies in pressure scenarios. Gajnabi and Mangru’s combined ODI average of 8 further highlights their lack of depth.
Bowling-wise, Afy Fletcher has been a consistent performer historically against England. But going for 65 runs despite 2 wickets shows inconsistency. Alleyne has 19 wickets in her last 10 matches and needs to strike early with Matthews.
Without solid middle-order contributions and reliable death bowling, West Indies will find it tough to level the series. Their best hope lies in early breakthroughs and a Matthews-Joseph special at the top.

Favourite Team – England Women
England Women enter this match with a clear psychological and performance edge. Their batting unit, led by Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones, looks far more consistent and threatening than their opponents. In bowling, debutant Linsey Smith’s five-wicket haul and Kate Cross’ sharp spells give them a versatile attack. Nat Sciver-Brunt’s leadership and form further boost their dominance.
In contrast, West Indies Women rely heavily on Hayley Matthews. While Joseph provided brief support, their fragile middle-order and erratic bowling remain liabilities. At home, with crowd support and conditions favoring seamers and disciplined batting, England Women are well-positioned to clinch the series.
