England vs India 3rd ODI Match Prediction

Preview

England vs India: England had a meltdown in the first game and India had one in the second. Middling chases are starting to become a huge concern for India. With a low score ahead, the batters are going into a shell, as they did in the second ODI. With the concern growing, Rohit Sharma is asking his side to be a little more positive in small changes.

England’s batting line-up is still a concern. There batters are struggling to get starts and Jason Roy is failing to find fluency. In the second ODI there batting depth saved them with Moeen Ali and later David Willey helped England get to a decent score.

Team News

Both teams are likely to remain unchanged.

Key Players

Reece Topley

With the help of the Lord’s slope and Topley’s own height, he could extract some wonderful bounce. His bowling and the bounce he generated had the Indians in all sorts of discomfort as he ran through them with six wickets. The innings will give him a lot of confidence and may be enough to keep him in the side for the future. He has done enough to maintain his spot for a while, and he will be hoping to make a difference in this series decision.

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav is probably the best looking Indian batter at the moment. He is at his most fluent, and looks comfortable against both pace and spin. With the top order and Rishabh Pant struggling, his role is very important. He has the ability to turn the game around, and his pace be what India need as they look for some intent in their batting line-up.

England vs India Match Tips

Both sides are struggling with their batting, while the bowling looks good. There will likely be a lot of pressure on both teams in this must-win encounter. With both sides out of form the result is likely to be determined by the side handling pressure better. With India having some players who are in form and good under pressure, they may have a slight advantage.

Match Prediction: India will win the match.
