England (ENG) began their tour of West Indies (WI) with a loss in the 1st ODI on Sunday. Shai Hope scored his 16th ODI century to give his team 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The win was huge for West Indies after failure to qualify for the ODI World Cup 2023 earlier this year.
Jos Buttler meanwhile is struggling with both his batting and captaincy. The Englishman scored just three runs with the bat on Sunday. The former World Cup winners have been struggling in the ODI format and it showed during their miserable ODI World Cup campaign.
