Captain Liam Livingstone’s first ODI century in a 140-run partnership with Sam Curran has inspired England to a five-wicket win over West Indies in the second one-day international. The win leveled the three-match series.
England ’s captain Liam Livingstone plays a shot against West Indies during the second ODI cricket match at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua and Barbuda, Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024. A fan of West Indies waves flags during the second ODI cricket match against England at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua and Barbuda, Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024.
Livingstone had a reputation of being one of England cricket’s great untapped talents as he produced only four half centuries in 31 previous ODIs. But his accession to the ODI captaincy has been energizing and he showed the full range of his ability as he led England to the second-highest successful ODI chase in the West Indies.
But Livingstone expertly controlled his team’s chase with the able assistance of Curran who was out for a run-a-ball 52 in the 46th over with the target in sight at 300-5. Hope came to the crease in the fourth over with the immediate job of rebuilding the West Indies innings in the company of Keacy Carty . He left in the 47th over when West Indies were 297-6 and in the middle of a late charge which brought 93 runs from the last 10 overs.
Keacy was out in the 31st over when West Indies were 155-3. Hope was joined by Sherfane Rutherford with whom he added 79 for the fourth wicket, carrying the West Indies to 234-4 just as the last 10 overs were about to begin.
