The three-match ODI series between India and England (IND vs ENG) is tied 1-1. Today (July 17) the last and decisive game of this series will be played. This match will kick off at 3:30 p.m. at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in the city of Manchester. India and England have met four times on this ground. In this, England have won three matches and India have won one match.
The Indian team won the first match of the ODI series between India and England in a one-sided style, but in the second match, England recorded a big win. In such a situation, both teams look like an equal competition. The poor form of Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant on the white ball may be a cause for concern for India. At the same time, the batting failure of captain Jos Buttler and starter Jason Roy for England remains a cause for trouble. Amidst all of this, bowlers on both sides are performing well.
- The Old Trafford course is considered to be the best course for spinners in England. Here fast bowlers also get some bounce. In such a situation, there is a chance to get help for bowlers. However, in the last 9 ODIs held here, the teams batting first have scored 290+ 6 times.
- The UK Meteorology Department has warned of high temperatures in Manchester. During the day it can rise up to 30 degrees Celsius. In such a situation, spinners can get more help here. There is no chance of rain in the game.
- Here in the last 9 ODIs, the team batting first has won 8 times. In such a situation, the draw can also play a decisive role.
