England name squad for first Test against India

Danijones12 hours ago06 mins

New Delhi: As India ready themselves to take on England in the five-match Test series starting on June 20, there will be a certain reassurance in knowing that while Shubman Gill-led India is undergoing a transition, England too have several challenges to overcome. England’s Jamie Overton was on Thursday handed a surprise recall to the England squad for the first Test against India. (AFP) With several returnees and the rest missing due to injuries, England too seem to be testing the waters based on their announcement of a 14-player squad for the first Test match at Headingley. In what was a rather surprising call-up, bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton, will return to the red-ball setup for the first time since earning his sole cap against New Zealand at Headingley in June 2022. The 31-year-old sustained a broken little finger in the right hand during the ODI against the West Indies last week but continues to be assessed and reviewed daily by the England medical team. Oveton’s call-up can be attributed to England’s growing list of injury concerns in their pace potential. Gus Atkinson was another absentee in the squad as he remained unavailable for selection due to the right hamstring injury sustained during the recent Test against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge. Atkinson’s absence will particularly sting as he has been a consistent red-ball threat with the red-ball 55 wickets in his first 12 matches. Additionally, they are missing out on experience with Mark Wood and Olly Stone both out of the series with knee injuries and Jofra Archer unlikely to attain match fitness until the second Test at the earliest after a thumb issue. Seamer Brydon Carse, who has played five Tests and picked up 27 wickets, has been included in the squad. Chris Woakes is their most-capped seamer, having played 57 Tests and picked up 181 wickets. Carse and Woakes last featured during England’s Test tour of New Zealand in December. There could also be a direct fight for the same spot between Woakes and Josh Tongue and it will be interesting to see if Woakes’ experience will be prioritised over Tongue’s form. On the batting front, Jacob Bethell’s inclusion is a significant one. He missed the Zimbabwe Test due to IPL duties but finding a place for him in the Playing XI will give England a headache. Bethell, who has the backing of captain Ben Stokes, scored three half-centuries at No. 3 on his debut series in New Zealand but Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope – his immediate competition – both scored centuries against Zimbabwe. Jamie Smith, who was set to get a break before the India series will now have to step in for Phil Salt, who is on a paternity leave for the West Indies T20Is. However, their batting line-up will look to largely harness the experience of the in-form Joe Root and Ben Duckett. Harry Brook, who scored 58 against Zimbabwe, will be hoping to do more against India. Both the squads have changed significantly since England’s 1-4 series defeat in India 18 months ago. Shubman Gill will take over India’s Test captaincy for the first time as he leads a squad without the towering presence of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin. England, meanwhile, will be without James Anderson, who retired shortly after that tour, while having moved on from Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes and Ollie Robinson. Squad: Ben Stokes (C), Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Cook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith (WK), Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs New Zealand 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 09, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ODI Final, 2025 Can Rohit lead India to another ICC Trophy? Australia Masters vs South Africa Masters TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis India have reached yet another final of an ICC event. They were strong favorites to beat Australia in the semis and are just one step away from winning the ICC Champions Trophy once again. New Zealand have been exceptional in this tournament and have won all but one match in their campaign. They are coming into this game on the back of a huge win against South Africa in Lahore. The shift in the venues is a big factor for New Zealand. It will affect their chances of winning the final. They have played only one match on this ground so far which they lost to India while chasing a 250-run target. India have played all their matches at this venue and knowing that they will play all the games here, they picked the squad accordingly. Many observers have noted that India have an unfair advantage in this tournament. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview There are no doubts about India’s chances of winning. While New Zealand may be the only team in this tournament who can give India a run for their money as they did in their last encounter at this venue, India are still a step ahead in this contest. They’ve got a strong spin-bowling attack with Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, and Ravindra Jadeja. These 4 can overpower any batting lineup in the world at the moment. The pitch conditions are ideal for their bowling style and we reckon they will play a huge role in India’s victory. India’s key batters are also in fine touch and with Virat Kohli coming good in a knockout game of an ICC event, the men in blue will be very confident taking on New Zealand. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill may not have been in their best form lately, but their potential is well-known. The openers can put India in a strong position even if one of them plays a longer innings. New Zealand Preview New Zealand look strong with the ball and have always posed a threat to the men in blue in ICC events. They were brilliant with the ball in their last game against India at this venue with their pacers picking up early wickets of the top 3 batters. However, it wasn’t easy for the Blackcaps to chase even a par total on this ground against Indian spinners. Kane Williamson is their key middle-order batsman who’s in great touch, scoring consistently. He will be the one to watch out for against India. He can play the spinners well but needs the support from Rachin Ravindra, who’s another top-order batsman capable of playing the longer knock. If these two come good on this occasion, New Zealand can fancy their chances of beating India in yet another knock-out game of an ICC tournament. Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, and Glenn Phillips are key players in the lower middle order. Mitchell and Latham and reliable and experienced batters who can build crucial partnerships towards the second half of the innings while Phillips is a big-hitting finisher who will be expected to accelerate the run rate at the death. Weather Conditions We expect cloudy skies in Dubai on the match day with a high of 30 degrees Celsius. There is no rain prediction but we expect the weather to assist new-ball bowlers in the second innings. IND vs NZ Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that has a lot to offer for the bowlers. Spinners play a key role here and it gets difficult to score quickly against them. The average 1st innings score in the last 4 ODIs of the Champions Trophy 2025 here is 245 runs. However, for a match-winning total, the team batting first should aim for at least 275 runs or more. Toss: To Bat Batting first would be ideal for New Zealand in this game. Though teams batting second have won 3 of the 4 matches here, given the Indian bowling strength, it won’t be ideal for New Zealand to chase a target on this ground in Dubai. India’s batting depth and bowling strength allow them to bat first or second and still be in a comfortable position.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs Australia 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 04, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI Semi Final, 2025 India face Australia on their way to the Final Singapore vs Bahrain TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis India will look to avenge their World Cup loss as they meet Australia in the Champions Trophy semi-final in Dubai. The men in blue have won all the 3 matches they played here in the group stage. On the other hand, Australia won their opening game against England while chasing a massive target of 352 runs, but their remaining games ended without a result. In their last outing against Afghanistan, the Aussies were on top of the game scoring 109 for 1 in the 13th Over while chasing a 276-run target when rain stopped play. Travis Head and Matthew Short are in fine touch at the top and will be key players against India. The pitch has offered help for the spinners and Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, and Kuldeep Yadav will pose a tough challenge to the Aussies. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India are in red-hot form with 3 consecutive wins. Their bowlers have been exceptional in all of their matches so far. Varun Chakravarthy’s fifer led them to a 44-run win over New Zealand. The top-order collapsed in the last match. That will be a concern for the men in blue going ahead. They need Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill to deliver big in this match. Considering the bowling attack of Australia lacks experience as most of their key players are not part of the squad, we believe India will have the upper hand. Indian batters are more likely to get the better of Nathan Ellis, Ben Dwarshuis, and Spencer Johnson. Adam Zampa would pose a threat with his leg-break bowling. But other than that, India will dominate most of the Australian bowlers. Shreyas Iyer has scored two consecutive fifties in the middle order and will be one to watch out for. Australia Preview Australia look qutie strong as far as the batting lineup is concerned but their bowlers haven’t been in their best form. This is not the classic Aussie bowling lineup that would intimidate the opposition. There is no Starc, Cummins or Hazlewood in the squad. Without these 3 we don’t expect Australia to put the mighty Indian batting order under pressure. Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Short, and Adam Zampa will be crucial with the spin. Spinners have played a key role on this wicket and have driven India’s success. Australian bowlers have been quite expensive in recent games and were far from what’s expected of them. Travis Head, Steven Smith, and Marnus Labuschagne are the key batters to watch out for in this side. We expect these 3 to step up and deliver on the big day. Smith, in particular, will be crucial against the in-form Indian bowling attack. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Dubai with a high of 28 degrees Celsius. There will be cloudy skies in the city throughout the week with chances of rain next week but on the match day, we expect no rain interruptions. IND vs AUS Pitch Report The pitch has helped the spinners a great deal. There is a lot of turn on offer on this wicket and both teams will back their bowlers to put them on top of the game. The average 1st innings score in the last 5 one-day matches here is 224 runs. We reckon anything above 260 will be a highly competitive total in this match. Toss: To Bowl Though India successfully defended a total in the last match, they’ve managed to chase down a target twice before. It is not an easy pitch to score runs on and bowling first will allow the team to gain the upper hand with early wickets and potentially bundling the opposition for a low score. So far, teams bowling first have won 2 of the 3 matches in the Champions Trophy at this venue.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand vs India𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 02, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Champions Trophy, 2025 The top two teams from Group A meet with their places in the semi-final already guaranteed! New Zealand vs India TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NZ vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis Group A has not been overly competitive in this year’s Champions Trophy with New Zealand and India winning both of their games at the expense of Pakistan and Bangladesh. But this game will be an important one as it will decide who finishes top of Group A and at the same time will determine who plays the runners-up from Group B. Both New Zealand and India have not really been challenged across their two games in this competition but we expect all to change in this fixture with both playing a high standard of cricket. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview It continues to be a surprise that anyone is surprised by how easily New Zealand have negotiated their first two games of this Champions Trophy and it was another comfortable victory for the Black Caps when they beat Bangladesh in their last game on Monday. That match saw Rachin Ravindra return to the team with Daryl Mitchell missing out through illness but we expect New Zealand to be at full strength for this top of the table clash with India. With Ravindra taking the Player of the Match award thanks to his 112 runs from 105 balls, it is going to be tough for New Zealand to work out who makes way for Mitchell and we expect one of Will Young or Devon Conway to be left out with Ravindra promoted to open. India Preview Pakistan were no match for India last Sunday as Rohit Sharma’s team got over the winning line with six wickets in hand and 45 balls remaining. In all, it was a fine team performance from India and they have so far lived up to their tag of pre-tournament favourites. Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav was back to his best in the win over their great rivals, returning figures of 3/40 with Hardik Pandya the pick of the pacers. Mohammed Shami had an off day but the team management will not be concerned as he builds up his strength following a long injury lay off. With the bat, Virat Kohli once again saved a century for a game against Pakistan and the consistent pair of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer both made significant contributions as well. India continue to have vast depth in both their bowling and batting ranks! Weather Conditions The temperature will be around 24 degrees from start to finish during this game even after sundown. Humidity levels will also be moderate and will not increase as the match progresses. NZ vs IND Pitch Report The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has good pace and bounce so overall is a good place for batting. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of 320+. Toss: To Bat Both teams are equally comfortable batting first or bowling first and the conditions look unlikely to change across this match. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to bat first ahead of this game.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Pakistan vs India𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 23, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 5th ODI 2025 The momentum clearly favors India heading into this clash, with four wins from their last five ODI outings. Pakistan’s recent form tells a different story, as they’ve stumbled in three of their previous five matches in this format. Pakistan vs India TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PAK vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis The biggest rivalry in cricket takes center stage this Sunday at Dubai, as India and Pakistan lock horns in what promises to be an explosive Champions Trophy encounter. India come into this matchup riding high after outplaying Bangladesh in their opening game, while Pakistan are looking to regroup following a heavy defeat to New Zealand. Recent history in this format tilts heavily in India’s favor, and with their current hot streak, they’re tipped to come out on top in this high-voltage clash. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview Pakistan’s Champions Trophy campaign started on the worst possible note, suffering a heavy defeat against New Zealand on home soil. The Kiwis, after being in trouble at 73-3, recovered brilliantly to post a commanding 320-5. In response, Pakistan struggled to keep up with the required rate and folded for 260. The loss exposed Pakistan’s issues in all areas, and they will need a much-improved effort to challenge India. Adding to their concerns, they will now be without Fakhar Zaman, who has been ruled out due to injury. Imam-ul-Haq has been called in as his replacement for the remainder of the tournament. India Preview India began their Champions Trophy run with a solid six-wicket win over Bangladesh. After bowling out their opponents for 228 on a sluggish pitch, they chased the target down in 46.3 overs. While there were some tense moments, Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 101 ensured a smooth finish, with KL Rahul (41* off 47) and Rohit Sharma (41 off 36) contributing crucial runs. Looking ahead, India will be hoping for more stability from their middle order, which has had a habit of losing wickets cheaply before the lower order bails them out. Virat Kohli’s form is another concern, but his track record in big matches and a career average of 52.15 against Pakistan make him a player to watch. Shubman Gill’s recent performances make him India’s most in-form batter at the moment, having scored two centuries and four straight 50+ scores. KL Rahul, who looked fluent in the last game, is also expected to play an important role. Weather Conditions The Dubai pitch showed a sluggish character in the match between India and Bangladesh, with the surface looking dry and slightly cracked. Early moisture might help seamers in the first hour, but expect the pitch to slow down considerably as the game progresses. The ball’s likely to grip and turn for spinners, particularly in the middle overs. Batting second could be tricky under lights, with dew playing a minimal role. The weather in Dubai will be warm, pleasant, and clear with absolutely no chance of any rain interruption. PAK vs IND Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is just 219, showing that this isn’t a high-scoring venue. We reckon a score of around 260-270 by the team batting first will be challenging to chase. Toss: To Bat Teams batting second at Dubai International Cricket Stadium have found success recently, winning five of the previous six ODIs at this venue. But the sticky wicket we witnessed in the last match might change tactics – both sides will likely prefer setting a target rather than chasing on this tricky surface.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Bangladesh vs India𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 20, Thursday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2025 India to start their Champions Trophy campaign against the Noisy Neighbours. Pakistan vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. BAN vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis The wait is finally over for the Indian fans. Their team led by Rohit Sharma is set to kick off their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign against Bangladesh at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on 20th February from 2:30 pm onwards. India had their hands on the trophy back in 2013 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. They lost to their arch-rivals Pakistan in the last edition which was held in 2017. India is set to miss Jaspreet Bumrah due to a back injury. Harshit Rana has been called into the squad as his replacement. India whitewashed England in the three-match ODI series at home recently. Rohit Sharma’s century in the second ODI followed by Virat Kohli’s half-century in the last ODI were the key takeaways for India from the series. Ravindra Jadeja picked six wickets in the series at an average of just 10. TEAMS PREVIEW Bangladesh Preview With the exits of Tamim Iqbal and Shakib al Hasan, the Bangladesh team is now centered on Najmal Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraj, and Taskin Ahmed. Tanzid Hasan will open the innings with Soumya Sarkar. The duo has a combined average of 33 in last year’s games. Sarkar scored a half-century (73) in the last ODI against West Indies. Najmul Hossain Shanto will come at number three. Shanto has 337 runs at an average of 84 in the last six ODIs with a century and two half-centuries. He will be the batter to watch out for. All eyes will be on the Bangladeshi middle-order who have scored most of the runs in the last year. Mehidy Hasan Miraj will lead the middle order with Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Mahmadullah. Miraz scored 305 runs in the 8 innings of the last year with three half-centuries. He averages 47 against India. Rahim played just 4 games in 2024, scoring 136 runs at an average of 68. He is the most prolific player when it comes to India with 750 runs in 25 innings. Mahmadullah scored 337 runs in 9 games of the last year with four half-centuries. He was their leading run-scorer. India Preview India will be high on confidence after winning the series against England at home. Rohit Sharma will open the innings with Shubhman Gill. Sharma scored a century in the second ODI of the series. Since 2023, Sharma has 1206 runs at an average above 50 with two centuries and 9 half-centuries. His average at Dubai is over 100. On the other hand, Gill has 1333 runs at an average of 51 in the last 29 games. He will be the batter to watch out for. Virat Kohli came back in the form with a half-century against England. Since 2023, Kohli has 1154 runs in 23 innings at an average above 60 with four centuries and 9 half centuries. Shreyas Iyer will come in the middle with KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar. Iyer has 973 runs in the last two years at an average of 51 with three centuries and 6 half-centuries. KL Rahul will be a threat for Bangladeshi bowlers in the middle. Rahul has 1033 runs in the last 26 ODIs at an average of 53. India has bolstered their army with all-rounders in the middle. Hardik Pandya has 287 runs in 12 innings with the bat and 23 wickets with the ball. Jadeja has been better than Pandya in this format since 2023 with 300-plus runs with the bat and 37 wickets with the ball. Weather Conditions The weather at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai is expected to be cloudy on match day, with temperatures ranging between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 8-19 km/h. It gives a good balance for both bowlers and batsmen. Bowlers can benefit from the pitch in the early stages, which offers a nice bounce. As the game goes on and the pitch gets older, batsmen can play their shots comfortably. BAN vs IND Pitch Report The game will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on 20th February from 2:30 pm onwards. The stadium has a capacity of 25000 spectators. The stadium has hosted 13 Tests, 58 ODIs and 110 T20. Toss: To Bowl In 58 ODIs played here, the results have favored teams chasing the target on 34 occasions while 21 have been won by the teams chasing it. The average first-innings score is 218 with the highest total of 355. The team winning the toss should bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 12, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODI 2025 India target a 3-0 ODI series clean sweep to backup their 4-1 thrashing of England in the T20Is! India vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis India made it another four wicket win to lead this ODI series 2-0 with just this remaining game in Ahmedabad to go. For the hosts, the series has already been an excellent exercise as they ramp up their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy later this month, whereas for England, this tour has been something of a disaster, losing six of the seven matches across T20Is and ODIs. Ahmedabad is a city where India have an excellent record across all formats and England have also struggled at the venue so it could well be another triumph for the hosts on Wednesday! Both teams do have form players with India’s captain Rohit Sharma along with Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja impressing. For England, only really Ben Duckett and Joe Root can be said to be playing anywhere near their top level. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview After winning the series opener by four wickets and with 68 balls remaining in Nagpur, India opted to make two changes for the second ODI with Virat Kohli returning alongside spinner Varun Chakravarthy who made his ODI debut. Jashasvi Jaiswal, who himself had debuted in the opener, missed out along with left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Those changes show just how much depth India have in this format and it was no surprise to see them beat England again, with the result not looking in doubt throughout the entirety of the chase! Expect the likes of Kohli, Harduk Padya and KL Rahul to be pushed up the order a little in this game to give them as much opportunity as possible to maximise time in the middle ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. Harshit Rana and Mohammed Shami are both likely to play again as they look to build up their fitness ahead of the tournament. England Preview England’s torrid tour of India will conclude after this game and coach Brendan McCullum will be hoping that he can inspire his charges to the second win of the trip! He should have a strengthened side for this game with pace bowler Jofra Archer coming back after being rested in Cuttack and keeper-batter Jamie Smith now fully fit after a calf issue had sidelined him over the previous ten days. There are some positives for England with all of the top six making scores between 26 and 69 on Sunday, including Ben Duckett and Joe Root making half-centuries. They really need someone to kick on in this ODI though and help their bowlers who have struggled to keep the lid on India’s run-scoring when chasing. Adil Rashid has been consistent, as has Jamie Overton but England will be hoping that the duo of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer can really cause problems with pace in Ahmedabad. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, this game will start with the temperature at 28 degrees, and in spite of being a day-nighter, also finish with the same temperature. In the meantime it will get as high as 32 degrees on a day which will be cloudless. IND vs ENG Pitch Report The Narendra Modi Stadium has been a spinners paradise in some Test matches previously but in ODIs and T20s it tends to be an excellent surface for batting on. As a result, we expect to see a strong batting surface with a par score of 350+. Toss: To Bowl England have lost both games in the series after winning the toss and choosing to bat first. Therefore, we predict that whoever wins the toss ahead of this ODI will elect to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs England 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 09, Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Barabati Stadium, Cuttack, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2025 England’s miserable tour of India continues as the hosts continue to sharpen their skills ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. India vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis This is turning into a very disappointing tour of India for England and was certainly not what Test head coach Brendan McCullum had in mind when he added the white ball side to his brief at the start of this year! Since arriving in India, England have won one and lost five games across five T20Is and one ODI and apart from getting on top towards the end of the powerplay in the first innings, seemed to be forever playing catch-up in the first game of this series on Thursday. India on the other hand were able to canter home with 68 balls remaining in spite of being without star batter Virat Kohli who was not risked due to a slight injury to his right knee. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview It was a fine team performance from India in Nagpur to get this three match series underway with only Hardik Pandya going wicketless from the six-man bowling unit. He made up for that by being in the middle for the winning runs and although there will be disappointment from captain Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul who were both dismissed for only two runs, India look like a team who will take some stopping in this year’s ICC Champions Trophy. Shubman Gill top scored with 87 runs from 96 balls and was well supported by Shreyas Iyer (59 runs from 36 balls) and Axar Patel (52 runs from 47 balls) in a slightly re-shuffled batting order which saw Ravindra Jadeja come in at number eight, such is the batting depth in the side. England Preview Ahead of the start of the series, it was announced that Jofra Archer would play in only two of the three games but that could now change as England will certainly want him available for this match and if the series is still alive after the fixture then they may well risk him for the decider! The right-arm pacer dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal and returned good figures of 1/39 from seven overs but it was his fellow opening bowler Saqib Mahmood and Adil Rashid who were the leading wicket takers with two dismissals each. Brydon Carse may find his place under threat if he doesn’t perform in this game though as he was far and away the most expensive with his five overs costing 52 runs. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, the temperature will be at 27 degrees at the start of this ODI before jumping up to 30 degrees in the mid-afternoon. When the floodlights kick in, the temperature will still be in the mid twenties! IND vs ENG Pitch Report This has always been a good batting wicket in Cuttack and we predict that both teams should be able to post strong totals. A par score batting first in this game will be in the region of 320. Toss: To Bowl Four of the last six ODIs in Cuttack have been won by the team chasing and England have also had most of their recent success in this format when bowling first. Therefore, we predict that both sides will choose to chase if they win the toss.

India vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis England have been successful in troubling the hosts with the ball. The visitors picked up 8 wickets in the 2nd T20I while defending 166 runs in Chennai. They finally managed to gain the upper hand as they defended 171 runs in Rajkot beating India by 26 runs. Adil Rashid weaved magic in the middle-over with his right-arm leg break. Suryakumar Yadav and co. have some thinking to do. They were staring at loss in Chennai too. If it wasn’t for Tilak Verma’s unbeaten 72 off 55 balls, England would have achieved parity much sooner. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India have a great depth in the batting lineup. And that allows the top-order batsmen to play a fearless brand of cricket. Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Suryakumar Yadav are all known for their attacking approach to the game. Samson’s lack of runs is a big concern for India going ahead. Abhishek Sharma, on the other hand, is struggling to convert his starts into a longer knock. He can make a huge impact on the game even if he stays at the crease for the first 4-5 Overs of the game. Suryakumar Yadav coming in at number 3 may not be a great idea. Tilak Verma fits the bill for number 3. He can adjust his strokeplay and pace the innings according to the situation of the game. England Preview Jos Buttler will be delighted with his team’s comeback in the 3rd T20I. He will back his players to carry the momentum into this game to achieve series parity. Mark Wood, Brydon Carse, and Jofra Archer looked promising with the ball. Despite what their economy rates suggest, they were quite successful in delivering breakthroughs that changed the course of the game. Jamie Overton and Adil Rashid were the stars of the match. Rashid’s 1 for 15 from his 4 Overs helped squeeze the flow of runs during the middle over of India’s run-chase. The right-arm leggie had delivered figures of 1 for 14 in the previous game in Chennai. The best way forward for England will be to back their strengths. They’ve got a strong pace attack. The visitors should be aiming at beating Indian batters with pace while Rashid continues doing his job in the middle overs. In the batting lineup, Ben Duckett seems to have found his form at the top. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Pune with a high of 32 degrees Celsius. Though a few days are expected to be cloudy this week in the city, there are no signs of rain and we can expect an uninterrupted game of cricket between these two sides. IND vs ENG Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket where both batters and bowlers can find some help. The highest score successfully chased at this venue was 158 runs by India against England back in 2012. In 2023, Sri Lanka recorded the highest total by any team at this venue when they scored 206 runs batting first against India. The average 1st innings score in the 4 T20Is played here is 166 runs. We reckon anything over 180-185 will be a competitive total at this venue. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 T20 matches played at this venue in Pune. Though the recent matches have been qutie low-scoring, the venue has witnessed high-scoring encounters in the past. Both teams have a deep batting lineup that features some of the big stars in T20 cricket. They will back themselves to chase down a target.

IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis India will take on England in the 3rd T20I of the 5-match T20I series against England at home at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot on 28th January 2025 at 7 pm IST. England are on a tour to India to play 5T20Is and 3ODIs. This will be the third game of the 5T20Is series, which India currently leads 2-0, after winning the first two T20 Internationals against England. While the first victory was an easy one for India, but they had to fight for the second win. England were so close to winning the second game, but Tilak Verma’s brilliance made sure India goes into the third game without losing a match. Can India seal the series in this third T20I or will England be able to keep it alive? An interesting game is coming up between these two T20I giants. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India are on a roll when it comes to T20I cricket. The T20 world champions played 25 matches in the last year, winning 23 of them. No other major cricketing nation comes close to this win-loss ratio of 11. India are currently ranked first in the ICC Men’s T20I team rankings with 268 rating points. India started the series against England with a comprehensive win by 7 wickets, with over 7 overs remaining in the 1st straight to India at Eden Gardens. Varun Chakravarthy’s spin and Abhishek Sharma’s hard hitting batting helped India take the lead in the series. Bowling first, India restricted England to a below-par score of 132 all-out in 20 overs. Barring Jos Butler, India did not allow any batter to settle in. Varun Chakravarthy was the peak of the bowler with 3 wickets for 23 runs in 4 overs. Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, and Akshar Patel took 2 wickets each. Hardik Pandya was a bit costly though. The chase proved to be extremely one-sided as Abhishek Sharma took the attack to the opposition by scoring 79 runs in just 34 balls with 5 fours and 8 sixes to help India get the win in the series opener. England Preview England rank third in ICC Men’s T20I team rankings. However, their performances in the recent past have not been up to the mark. In the last five games, they have managed to win just one game with one no result. In the current 5-match series against India, they have already lost the first two games and are on the brink of losing the series if they lose this third T20I match at Rajkot. The first T20I was a complete no-show by the England batters, except for Jos Butler. England batted first and scored 132 runs, out of which Jos Butler, the captain, scored 68 runs. As many as seven England batters were out for a single-digit score against the formidable Indian bowling attack. It was a no-show by the bowlers as well, except for Joffre Archer who took 2 wickets for 21 runs in 4 overs, as England lost the game in the 13th over itself. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot is expected to be hot, with a lot of sunshine and a few clouds.
