West Indies vs England Preview
The West Indies have a good record at home in ODI cricket and beat England in their last series in 2023. That said, England are also nowhere near full strength, so I am backing the hosts to cause an upset.

Head to Head
The last time these two met the West Indies won by five wickets. The hosts have won three of their last five ODIs against England.
West Indies Form
The West Indies come into this series off the back of a 2-1 series loss in Sri Lanka. It wasn’t a very high scoring series and the Windies struggled to adapt to the conditions.
However, the West Indies did win the third match to end the series on a high. The game was reduced after rain interfered, leaving the Windies needing 195 off 24 overs.
They won the game with an over to spare.
West Indies Injuries & Team News
While the World Cup is still three years away, the West Indies will be looking to continue building a side that can more than compete once the tournament arrives.
England Form
England’s focus is largely on Test cricket at the moment and thus have sent a weakened side to the Caribbean for this series. Their last ODI series ended in a 3-2 defeat to Australia on home soil.
After losing the first two matches, England bounced back to win the third and fourth. However, rain helped Australia win the decider after England posted 309 runs in 50 overs.
England Injuries & Team News
England are resting all the regular players that also feature in Tests for England as the Test side prepares for a tour to New Zealand. This gives some fringe players an opportunity to put a marker down.
Verdict
I am backing the West Indies to win with the in-from Evin Lewis to score runs.
For England, Liam Livingstone is tipped in the best batsman market.
