Fresh off a losing Test series in Pakistan, England continue their international cricket roadshow with a three-match ODI series in the Caribbean. It starts with the 1st West Indies vs England ODI live stream on Thursday, October 31.
Below are all the details for West Indies vs England live streaming services in the US and UK. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on because you can watch WI vs ENG live streams from anywhere with a VPN.
After a dismal 2023 World Cup, the England white ball set up is still in rebuild mode ahead of Brendon McCullum taking the coaching reins in January. There were glimmers of excellence in the 3-2 series defeat to Australia that marked the end of the English summer, including some individual heroics from huge-hitting all-rounder Liam Livingstone that has propelled him into the captain's seat left vacant by the perma-injured Jos Buttler.
The West Indies have played six ODIs in 2024 and lost five of them, seeing them slip to a disappointing 10th in the world rankings. Only on Saturday did they complete their first win of the year in a dead rubber in Sri Lanka, and they'll take a lot of heart from the 102* that opener Evin Lewis smashed off 61 runs and Matthew Forde's frugal bowling performance.
You only have to go back 11 months since the last ODI series between these sides. That time the hosts won a closely fought contest 2-1, with current captain Shai Hope's 192 runs making him player of the series. But England have whitewashed the Windies in Tests since then, so the momentum is probably with the tourists.
The result is a tough one to predict. But what we can tell you is all the information you need to get an West Indies vs England 1st ODI live stream and watch cricket online from anywhere in the world.
