Antigua, November 1, 2024 – The West Indies cricket team delivered a commanding performance to secure an 8-wicket win over England in the first One Day International (ODI) of their three-match series held at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua . With an all-round display, Evin Lewis’ quickfire half-century and Gudakesh Motie’s four-wicket haul played key roles in giving the home side an early 1-0 lead. The West Indies won the toss and chose to field first, hoping to exploit the conditions early on. England’s openers managed to put together a steady start, showing initial signs of resilience.
