The second ODI of the series between England (ENG) and the West Indies (WI) is scheduled for Sunday, June 1. England leads 1-0 to start the summer at home after winning the first ODI of the series by an overwhelming 238 runs, making them the clear favourites going into the contest. Although England did well at Edgbaston, the next game will be played in Wales.
This will be the lone day match of the ODI series, and it will take place at Cardiff's Sophia Gardens. For obvious reasons, England appears strong on paper. They have good bowlers who are adapted to home conditions and a strong batting lineup. England can be challenged by the West Indies thanks to their bowlers, but the hitters must improve greatly, particularly on batting-friendly grounds.

Sophia Gardens Pitch Report:
Cardiff's Sophia Gardens will host the second One-Day International (ODI) of England vs. West Indies. With a little help for the bowlers, the pitch has typically been suitable for batting. While spinners may need to put in more effort, pacers should see some seam movement.
Given that the side boundaries are some of the longest in the world, the boundary measurements may be helpful for slower bowlers. To score the most runs, batters will try to play in the "V." Given that it is a day game, the team that wins the toss will probably choose to bat first because the surface may slow down as the game goes on.
Weather Report:
On Sunday afternoon, Cardiff is expected to see largely bright and breezy conditions. There is a 4% chance of precipitation and an estimated 20% cloud cover. With wind gusts of up to 57 kmph, the humidity is predicted to be 68%. The temperature is expected to be between 14 and 20 degrees Celsius.
