Preview:
It was too easy for England Under-19 as they wrapped up a convincing 166-run win in the 1st Youth ODI against West Indies U-19. Half-centuries from Jacob Bethell, James Rew, Alex Horton, and exceptional bowling from Tom Prest helped England Under-19 to go 1-0 up in the 6-match series.
On the other hand, West Indies Under-19 were nowhere close to victory at all in the 1st Youth ODI. They conceded plenty of runs in the death overs, and later on, didn’t look convincing in the run chase, where they lost wickets at regular intervals. They should regroup themselves and aim to level the series 1-1.
