The second ODI of the three-match series between England Women and West Indies Women is set to light up Grace Road in Leicester on June 4th, with the action scheduled to begin at 05:30 PM IST. After a clean sweep in the T20Is and a commanding 108-run victory in the opening ODI, England will aim to clinch the series with another strong display. The hosts have been clinical in all departments, while the visitors continue their search for consistency.
England’s towering total of 345/6 in the first ODI was powered by a record-breaking 222-run stand between openers Amy Jones (122 off 121) and Tammy Beaumont (107 off 104). Nat Sciver-Brunt’s explosive 52 off 36 and Alice Capsey’s quick cameo of 24 off 19 helped close the innings in style. In reply, West Indies began well through Hayley Matthews (49) and Qiana Joseph, but their resistance faded under pressure. Linsey Smith, on debut, produced a sensational 5/36, while Emily Arlott chipped in with 2/37, sealing a one-sided win.
England were equally dominant in the T20I series. Despite Hayley Matthews’ heroic unbeaten 100 in the opener, England cruised to victory, led by Sophia Dunkley’s 81* and Heather Knight’s 43*. The second game saw West Indies slump to 81/9, with Arlott’s 3/14 and Sciver-Brunt’s 55* powering England to a nine-wicket win. In the final T20I, Knight battled a hamstring issue to score 66*, Matthews impressed again with 3/32 and 71, but England held their nerve to secure a 17-run win and a 3–0 series sweep.
Head-to-Head Record:
Total ODI Matches: 27
England Wins: 19

West Indies’ last ODI win over England came during the 2022 World Cup in New Zealand, a reminder of their potential to upset. However, England’s track record remains overwhelmingly dominant—and the opening ODI of this series was a testament to that.
