ENG vs IND: Now that the T20I series is over, India and England will play three ODIs against each other starting July 12. Rohit Sharma will be in charge of the Indian team, and the “Men in Blue” will be ready to keep winning in the ODI series. On the other hand, Jos Buttler, who was just named captain, will lead the English team.
The last ODI England played was against the Netherlands. They beat them 3-0 and even broke their own record for the most runs scored in an ODI. In the first game of the three-game series, England scored 498 runs and beat the other team by 232 runs. They kept going in the same direction for the next two games and won the series 3-0.
On the other hand, India has already played two ODI series this year. Their first series was against South Africa, which they lost badly. The Men in Blue were beaten 3-0 by the South Africans. The Indian team then played the Caribbean team at home and won by a score of 3-0. West Indies put up a strong fight, but India was too strong for them.
The upcoming ODI series between India and England will be a good match to watch because both teams have strong teams. Players like Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, and Joe Root, who played really well in the Test match, will be back for the English team. Players like Shikhar Dhawan, Mohammad Siraj, and Mohammed Shami will be back for the Indian team.
ENG vs IND 1st ODI: The Conditions of the Pitch:
Most of the time, the wicket at Kennington Oval is flat, and games there often end in high-scoring thrillers. At this venue, the spinners may have to play a bigger role because the pitch may wear out as the game goes on. Even though the pitch might help pacers get going at first, batters can trust the bounce and play their shots.
English vs Indian Playing Combinations
England:
Stokes, Bairstow, and Root are England’s most experienced players, which will help them. The team that won the ODI World Cup is full of big hitters, so it will be interesting to see what they plan to do against India.
Predicted Playing XI: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Liam Livingstone, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, David Willey, Matt Parkinson, Reece Topley
India:
When Dhawan comes back to the team, the opening order might change, and the veteran player is likely to bat first with the captain, Rohit Sharma. Virat Kohli will be able to test his skills and try to pull off a miracle that everyone has been waiting for during the series. Since there are more overs to play, he will also have more time on the wicket.
Predicted Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur/Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal.
