ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction 2nd Test

England, very pleased with their dominant performance in the first Test, will be looking to maintain their momentum and clinch the series in the second match. Their comprehensive victory by an innings and 114 runs not only showcased the continued effectiveness of their Bazball approach but also provided a fitting farewell to the legendary James Anderson. West Indies, on the other hand, find themselves in a must-win situation after being thoroughly outplayed in the opening Test. The confidence gained from their impressive drawn series in Australia seems to have evaporated in the face of England’s relentless assault. The Caribbean side now faces the daunting task of bouncing back from a crushing defeat and proving their mettle in challenging English conditions.
