After the conclusion of the T20I series of India's tour of England, the two teams will now play the first of the three-match ODI series. Kennington Oval in London will host the match on the 12th of July. The Indian team claimed the T20I series and would like to win the ODI series as well. The Rohit Sharma-led team has looked in good form in the recent matches. On the other hand, England will look to win their first series under the new captain Jos Buttler.
Team Updates
India
The Indian team will see a few faces returning to the team after a while. Shikhar Dhawan and Mohammed Shami are two players who did not play in the T20I series but will play in the ODI series. In the three-match series, these two will be crucial additions to the starting XI. Hardik Pandya may possibly get a chance to make his comeback to the ODI team.
India struggled with the bat in the three-match T20I series. They were unable to give consistent performances and faced some batting collapses. The men in blue would like to improve on that in the next match. Their bowling setup, on the other hand, has been excellent, with Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal performing admirably.
Probable Playing XI
Rohit Sharma (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal
England
The English team will also see many faces returning to the team after missing out on the T20I series. Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, and Ben Stokes will all return to the team setup. This will significantly strengthen their batting lineup. However, their bowling lineup might struggle as they lack experience.
With the T20 World Cup just a few days away, the English team would look to strengthen their playing XI and give them as much game time as possible. Senior players will be crucial to the team's success in this ODI series.
Probable Playing XIs
Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Jos Buttler (C&WK), Ben Stokes, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, David Willey, Matt Parkinson, Reece Topley
Pitch Report
The Kennington Oval in London is one of England's greatest batting grounds, with one of the flattest pitches. The track has even bounce, which will assist the batters. The ground's outfield is also fairly fast. The team that wins the toss will choose to bat first.
