ENG vs WI 2nd ODI Match Results

updated：England beat West Indies by 3 wickets.

Joe Root turned back the clock and silenced the doubters in style, crafting a career-best 166* to guide England to a thrilling three-wicket win over West Indies in Cardiff. Chasing a stiff 309, England looked in all kinds of trouble at 93 for 4, but Root was in his zone — calm, precise, and absolutely relentless. His knock, laced with 23 boundaries, not only broke records but also hearts in the Windies camp, as England clinched the series with a game to spare. Will Jacks played the perfect wingman with a handy 49, but this was Root’s world and everyone else was just watching.

Earlier, West Indies had built a solid innings around Keacy Carty’s maiden ton, with solid support from Shai Hope and Brandon King. Despite a flurry of dropped chances from England, Adil Rashid spun through the middle order with 4 for 63, while Saqib Mahmood chipped in at the death. Still, 308 looked like a winning total—until Root showed up. From elegant cover drives to cheeky scoops, he had it all going. And when he sealed the deal with a trademark on-drive, it was more than a win. It was a reminder: never count Joe Root out.
