India started the ODI series with a win, defeating England by 4 wickets in the first match played in Nagpur. The Indian team achieved the target in just 38.4 overs. The two teams will now face each other at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
The second ODI between India and England is scheduled to take place on Sunday, 9 February, at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. Both teams are preparing for the second match, with the toss set to take place at 1:00 pm and the match starting at 1:30 pm. If India wins this match, they will take the series. India had previously defeated England 4-0 in the five-match T20 series and is looking to replicate this success in the ODI series. However, England will be seeking to win this time, making the third ODI potentially decisive if they succeed.
It will not be easy for England to defeat India, as the English batsmen often make a good start but struggle against Indian bowlers in the middle overs. Although England has many match winners, they have been unable to overcome the Indian bowling. The second ODI between India and England can be watched live on Disney Plus Hotstar, where the match will be streamed for free. Alternatively, viewers can watch the match on TV via the Star Sports Network channels.
