Having faced each other in the first ODI, England played great cricket and put West Indies far behind in the score in the game. The openers set the tone. Smith didn’t get a fifty, but the next three batters did manage to topple the 50 mark. But the one who played magically was Jacob Bethell, who has recently played IPL with RCB and moved home to face the Indies. Batting first, England managed to score 400 and gave Indies a mountain of runs to chase down.
