The most expected India vs England’s second ODI saw that England set a competitive target of 305 runs thanks to the solid performance of Joe Root (69) and Ben Duckett (65).
However, under the leadership of Ravindra Jadeja (3/35), the Indian spinners stopped England’s pace, and mobilized the late end.
Selecting to bat first, England openers provided a solid foundation, in which Phil Salt and Ben Duckett set up an 81 -run partnership.
Joe Root put forward the innings, while Jose Butler supported a stable 39. Liam Living Stone (32 to 41 runs) fired late, helped England cross the 300 -run mark.
However, India’s bowling attack tightened its grip, which led to the loss of seven wickets in just 85 runs in the final overs.
Middle order fell under spin pressure, three runs out increased England’s struggle.
At the time of writing, India stands at 211/2 in 28.4 overs, which requires only 94 runs from 21.2 overs.
With a solid run rate of 7.36, India is likely to win 94.03 %, which is why they are a clear favorite to win.
