SD Hope
SD Hope is a batter for West Indies Cricket whose primary format is the One-Day International. Across 320 career matches he has scored 11,686 runs at an average of 36.29. In ODIs specifically, where he has played 135 times, his average rises to 49.27 from 5,666 runs at a strike rate of 81.54. Those numbers mark him as one of the more productive ODI batters West Indies have produced. His most recent appearances, from January to March 2026, are almost entirely T20 cricket, and his scores in that period have ranged from a bright 75 off 46 balls to a pair of single-figure dismissals, so current form is patchy rather than settled.

Bangladesh his most productive opponent on record
