West Indies vs England: 1st ODI Live Updates and Match Details

The first One-Day International (ODI) of the England tour of West Indies is underway, with the match taking place at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. The game started on October 31, 2024, at 11:30 PM local time. England, led by stand-in captain Liam Livingstone, is facing a West Indies team captained by Shai Hope.

The West Indies squad includes notable players such as Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keacy Carty, Shimron Hetmyer, and Alzarri Joseph. England’s team features players like Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, and Phil Salt, with Livingstone taking the reins in the absence of regular skipper Jos Buttler.

The series is significant for both teams, with West Indies looking to improve their 50-over cricket performance after a recent series against Sri Lanka. Despite avoiding a whitewash, the West Indies team recognizes the need to enhance their run-scoring capabilities in longer formats. England, meanwhile, is favored to win but will be tested by the West Indies’ recent form and home advantage.

The match can be followed live through various streaming platforms, including the FanCode app and website in India, although it is not available for live broadcast on TV in the region.

The remaining matches of the three-ODI series are scheduled for November 2 and 6, to be held in Antigua and Barbados respectively.
