After the thrilling action in the first ODI at Nagpur, India and England are set to face each other once again at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack in a match which will determine whether England will have some chance in the ODI series or India will continue their triumphant run and seal another series win against the visitors.
India confident after win in the first ODI
The Indian team managed to dominate England with bat and the bowl and clinched a 4 wickets win in the first ODI. Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer forged a remarkable partnership to lead India into a successful run-chase and turned the tide for the home side. The Indian team had a stellar performance with Ravindra Jadeja and Harshit Rana taking 3 wickets each to wrap up England on 248 runs in 47.4 overs before shaping a remarkable run-chase to win the match. The home side will aim to continue the winning momentum and seal another series win against England.
Do-or-die clash for England
The tour to India has been far from ideal for the English side. After a major setback in the T20I series where they were thrashed 4-1 in the 5-match series, the encounter at Cuttack will be the last chance to get some positive result during the course of their time in India. Another defeat in Cuttack will lead to ODI series loss for England while a win will keep their hope alive to carve out a result in the final ODI in Ahmedabad and overturn tides against India on their home soil.
