As opposed to the last match, this time the West Indies batsmen are giving a much better performance. They have been able to make 167 runs and lost only two wickets till now. Keacy Carty is heading toward his century as he has made 87 runs already. Also Brandon King made 59 runs. I think today the West Indies are in the mood to give a big target and then test the England batsmen. Remember that England made 400 runs in the last match, so they have to set a very big score, at least 350 runs in my opinion.

Keacy Carty got out at 103, and he may gift West Indies a win in the second match. But West Indies need to step up their scoring. Their current run rate is around 5.5 and they may get to 300-320. But remember that England got themselves to 400 in the first match. At the moment they have Shai Hope and Justin Greaves at the crease. They have plenty of overs to go, but there are not enough batsmen. If the total is less than 350, then England will have another easy win today.

WI managed to score above 300 runs today. Keacy Carty and Shai Hope are the key batsmen for them now. They managed to score 352 and 385 runs against Ireland when both of them batted well. We have seen similar things today. However, I think same as you here. This isn't enough runs to ensure a victory against England. WI got all out today at 47.4 over. The target should have been around 350 runs in this pitch.

West indies outstanding performance in second ODI match scored 308 runs all team out in first inning of the match against England. West indies openior Brandon King scored a well deserved half century and out after scoring 59 runs while Keacy Carty top order player played a aggressive inning scored a century and assited west indies to set a target of 300 plus runs. England is on the way to chasing the total current score is 79 runs in loss of 2 wickets in first powerplay of match. England needs 230 more runs to win this match from 40 over of the match and their current run rate is 7 plus runs. England is favorite to win this match because required run rate is under control they just needs 5.7 runs per over to win this match. West indies needs to pick some quick wickets if they want to win this match.

Even with the outstanding performance, I think they will lose this match. I think the West Indies need to pick up two wickets quickly at this stage. England is winning but as a fan of the West Indies, if they will take quick wickets here and use pace bowlers to make pressure on English batsmen, swing the ball and that is it.

It is the 2nd one day match between them, England already winning the first game with a huge margin, and this time, WI have a chance to do something better. Let's see if they win it, then the next match of this ODI series will be massive.

This match was completely one-sided where England's batsmen punished the West Indies' bowling and batting. England had set a target of 400 runs, which was a huge target, and West Indies were desperate to meet it and ended up badly out. England's bowlers did not have much trouble bowling against West Indies, getting all out in just 26.2 overs. England won this match by a huge margin of 238 runs, but West Indies lost this match badly, and if they do not improve their batting and bowling, then there is a high chance of losing that match too.

The 2nd ODI game between West Indies and England finished again with the victory of England after chasing a huge target. West Indies opened the first inning with Brandon King and Jewel Andrew but their partnership couldn't support great runs because Jewel Andrea lost wicket at the very start of the game after zero runs. Keacy Carty showed his great skills and performance as he completed his century with touching boundaries after boundries and then his partner Shai Hope stepped in with 78 runs adding a total of 181 runs by both players. The final order depleted the game and gave 4 wickets to Adil Rashid, ending this inning at 309 runs target. In the second innings, Openers dissappointed the England as they lost wickets without scoring a single run which exerted a pressure on his teammates. After the enterance of Joe Root all the pressure was removed when he scored 166 runs without any tension and brought the runs close to target. England chased the target and won this game by 3 wickets and Joe Root was credited for this victory.

England Women's squad continued their winning streak by once again defeating West Indies Women squad and successfully winning 2 matches in One Day format competition. Today second one day format match was successfully finished among England women squad against West indies Women squad. West Indies Women squad displayed great performance in batting inning but sadly in bowling inning, West indies Women squad was unable to protect their scores and faced defeat by narrow outcome 3 wickets and 7 deliveries. Joe Root played wonderful inning and he collected total 166 scores and remain unbeaten in full match. Adil Rashid displayed strong bowling performance and played crucial role in Victory by picking 4 wickets.

Nothing wrong with West Indies batting today but it's West Indies bowling that failed to defend such a decent target. West Indies got two quick wickets but after that they failed to get wickets. Joe Root played best innings of his ODI career, he was not out on 166 runs. With this win, England now led the 3 match ODI series 2-0. West Indies showed that they have still some spark left in the team and they need to win the last ODI to send a message that they are capable of playing good cricket.

I think this match was kind of similar to the match between Bangladesh and Pakistan where after losing to matches Bangladesh team perform little bit better at the batting but when there were entered for bowling they fully destroyed by the Pakistani betters.

Just like I will say that  West Indies team did good at the batting  but they forward to manage their bowling side and that's why they were  facing loss even they did good batting.

That is right West Indies batters played well yesterday. They set very good score that their bowlers should have been able to defend. They even got off to great start taking two quick wickets which gave everyone hope. But sadly they just could not keep that pressure on. England chase was simply too powerful especially with Joe Root playing best and scored 166 runs without getting out. His batting was brilliant and it ultimately gave England series win putting them up 2-0. Even though West Indies lost they definitely showed moments of what they are capable of and that they have fighting spirit. Now last game of series is very important for them. So let's see what they will do?

South African wicketkeeper-batsman Henry Klaasen has decided to retire from all forms of international cricket. Henry Klaasen will not be seen in any red-ball or white-ball cricket again. He retired from Test cricket in 2024 and today, on 2 June 2025, he retired from ODI and T20 cricket. The 33-year-old cricketer, despite being in good form, has called his retirement from cricket "the right and appropriate decision." He said he will spend time with his family after his retirement.

[Nanga Parbat]

A great match is being seen between Scotland and Nepal in which both the teams are quite good but according to my prediction I give this victory to Scotland because they are playing well and are improving the match. Their batsmen are playing the match with hard work and will play the match with full effort to win the match and get the win. If Nepal bowlers somehow work hard then they can stop the runs and get an easy target in the match which can help them win but I am not looking for any hard work and improvement from them. Scotland batsmen should make their target big and make it difficult for Nepal to win and also tighten their bowling which will give them a lot of advantage. This match can be interesting if Nepal team plays hard and struggle and there will be a lot of strength in the match.

The West Indies team did not play very well in the first ODI match. They lost all their wickets for just 162 runs in that match while chasing the target of 400 runs set by England. From that position, they were expected to win the second ODI match. The West Indies set a target of 308 runs. If they had wickets in hand, they could have scored a bigger score. Keacy Carty performed brilliantly in the match. It is unfortunate that the West Indies team did not win that match despite scoring such a big score. Although the opening batsmen Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett managed to get zero run, the West Indies team failed in the case of Joe Root. He ensured the victory from the last over of the match. If they could have brought back Joe Root, this series would still be alive. Since the team did not win despite scoring a good, there is a high chance that they will lose in the next match as well.

Nepal has won just 2 games in this ongoing league and it will be a tough task for Nepal to win today's game. Nepal invited Scotland to bat first and Scotland has given a target of 297 runs. Nepal bolwers were not able to stop Scotland batsmen from scoring run nor they were able to pick wickets. Nepal has started run chase and after 7 overs the score is 46 without loss of any wicket, it's a good start and if Nepalese batsmen played with responsibility then they can win this game.

We all know that Nepal is not that kind of strong team, and it is not surprising that they have won only two matches in the current ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they lost all their matches and didn't win a single one.

But I am surprised by Nepal's batting performance against Scotland today, even though they are losing wickets very quickly now, they are still keeping their current run rate above six and if they continue like this I can say they can win this match against Scotland. But since their wickets have started dropping I don't think they will be able to hold it.

West indies outstanding performance in second ODI match scored 308 runs all team out in first inning of the match against England. West indies openior Brandon King scored a well deserved half century and out after scoring 59 runs while Keacy Carty top order player played a aggressive inning scored a century and assited west indies to set a target of 300 plus runs. England is on the way to chasing the total current score is 79 runs in loss of 2 wickets in first powerplay of match. England needs 230 more runs to win this match from 40 over of the match and their current run rate is 7 plus runs. England is favorite to win this match because required run rate is under control they just needs 5.7 runs per over to win this match. West indies needs to pick some quick wickets if they want to win this match.

In the 2nd one day we once again found that the England teams is the winner and it was expected. In the first match they scored 400 runs that was surely could not be chase by the West Indies. However that was a one-sided game, but yesterday West Indies were looking like they were improving and made 308 runs batting first. The dreams of WI were shattered by Joe Root who scored half of the runs alone, he played the massive innings of 166 off 139 balls. Will Jacks also played a crucial part in the game as he scored  49 runs. However, now only a single game is left and I'm looking forward to the T20 series.

[Out of mind]

In today's match between Nepal and Scotland, Scotland scored 296 runs, Scotland played brilliantly in this match. However, Nepal has already lost four wickets while trying to achieve this target, to win today's match they will have to score 296 runs, although it may be difficult to achieve this huge score. However, if Nepal can play with their batting and build a great partnership, they will have hope of winning without losing a wicket. And if Scotland fails to play its ball, then Nepal will definitely lose, Nepal needs 121 runs from 91 balls at this moment. Although this match is very easy to win, Nepal will be under a lot of pressure if they lose a wicket, if Nepal plays well, they can beat Scotland.

England team won yesterday match because of batting of Joe Root despite the fact that WI have set a target of 308 runs. This series is important for both teams because both teams are at number 8th and 9th position on ICC ODI team rankings. Clean sweep in this series will result in improvement of England position on points table, WI will try there best to win last ODI to keep alive there chances of qualifying for next ODI world cup. WI need to improve there cricket to qualify for ICC events, if they keep playing like there current form then it will be impossible for them to qualify for ICC events.   

[Out of mind]

The third ODI match of West Indies vs England will be held in this match and it will not be a very strong and exciting game between the two teams. We have seen that the first and second matches England team defeated West Indies very easily and they won the ODI series. For the third ODI match, the West Indies team will try their best against England, but the England team will want them to win the third match as well so that the West Indies team loses badly. However, West Indies used to play very well at one time and due to the retirement of their good players, they are not in very good form at present. The players of the West Indies team are playing very badly at present and they may not have a very good manager to lead their team due to which they are weak at present. However, the England team is very strong and has strengthened their games a lot compared to before and has improved due to which they are performing well in every match.

Well West indies done phenomenal first through bat by scoring such huge number above 300 and then the way they execute pressure on English batting lineup at early on stage of thier innings get them several breakthrough, honestly after england having five down at 130 around I taught it's over for English side, because pressure were at peak and England have just limited options to resume thier innings lead them to the victory, but then the way root and broke make comeback of his team on track crushed West indies hope to Atleast secure a single match at such critical series against tough side. But unfortunately things goes beyond expections even after having such tough grip on match they failed.

Although this match is very easy to win, Nepal will be under a lot of pressure if they lose a wicket, if Nepal plays well, they can beat Scotland.

Today Nepal converted the Impossible things to possible, I don't think any of us expected that a team like Nepal would be able to win the match against Scotland, even with a target of 297 runs. Because we know that Nepal's batting lineup is very weak and in the maintain this target was just like a mountain for them.
But in reality, the batsman of Nepal team had done a great innings, especially their top order, and at the last Karan KC. Even though the match was so close, I want to congratulate the Nepal team.
