Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett stride out to open for England, with Phil Salt notably absent after a string of low scores in ODIs. It's a bold move바카라”Smith, who struggled at No. 3 in the Champions Trophy, has never opened in List A cricket.

England delivered one of their most commanding performances in recent ODI history as they demolished West Indies by a massive 238 runs in the first ODI at Headingley, Leeds. The margin of victory is England바카라™s second-biggest ever in men바카라™s ODIs by runs, surpassed only by their 242-run thrashing of Australia at Trent Bridge in 2018. With this win, the hosts take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, heading into Sunday바카라™s second ODI at Cardiff with a surge of confidence.

The home side바카라™s batting was a masterclass in controlled aggression. Half-centuries from Joe Root, Ben Duckett, and Harry Brook laid the foundation, but it was the local hero Jacob Bethell who stole the show with a sparkling 82 on his home ground. His fluency and shot selection lit up the innings as England powered their way to a daunting total of 400. The hosts managed to reach exactly 400 runs, a figure that not only asserted scoreboard pressure but also demoralised the visitors well before the second innings began.

Chasing 401 was always going to be a mammoth task, and the West Indies never looked in the hunt. Their innings started on a sour note, with Greaves dismissed in the third over, and from there it was a procession of wickets. England바카라™s pace duo of Saqib Mahmood and Craig Overton tore through the top order, while Harry Brook showcased his brilliance in the field, taking five catches 바카라” an outstanding display of athleticism and awareness.

The West Indies were bowled out for 162 in just 26.2 overs.

With win in the first ODI, England take 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The second ODI will be played on June 1, Sunday at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.
