Predicted Playing XIs

England U-19

Bethell, Rew and Horton looked in excellent touch for England in the previous game. They will want to carry on in the same vein. Prest was excellent with the ball, but he will want to make amends with the bat in hand. Rehan Ahmed also showed decent form with the bat in hand.

Playing XI: Tom Prest, Jacob Bethell, William Luxton, James Rew, George Bell, Rehan Ahmed, Alex Horton, Thomas Aspinwall, Fateh Singh, Sonny Baker, Joshua Boyden

West Indies U-19

All four of West Indies’ top-order batters went into double digits. However, no one could get a big score. The middle-order needs to show a little more consistency and face the spinners efficiently. The bowlers picked up wickets, but they also need to learn the art of keeping batters quiet.

Playing XI: Matthew Nandu, Anderson Amurdan, Teddy Bishop, Ackeem Auguste, Rivaldo Clarke, Giovonte Depeiza, Justin Beckford, Anderdon Mahase, McKenny Clarke, Isai Thorne, Andel Gordon

Match Prediction

England looked the stronger team in the first one-dayer by a country mile. They outplayed West Indies in all three departments. England should again be able to win the game.
