Predicting England’s playing XI for the third ODI against India. The Rohit Sharma led India team is set to take on Jos Buttler’s England in the final match of the three-game of the ODI series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Having already secured the series with back-to-back twin four-wicket wins in the first two ODI matches, India is looking forward to a complete clean sweep to carry their winning momentum, as they storm into the upcoming Champions Trophy.
With the major ICC tournament coming up, both teams will aim to change and fine-tune their strategies. Rohit Sharma’s return to form was quite evident by his brilliant century in the second ODI that has been a positive sign for India. Now, the focus has shifted to Virat Kohli, who is yet to make a significant impact in this series. The team management are eagerly waiting for him to regain his touch before they depart for Dubai, for the Champions Trophy campaign.
For England, this series has exposed their several weaknesses in their squad. While openers like Phil Salt and Ben Duckett have provided their solid grounds, the middle-order has been seen struggling, leading to repeated batting collapses. This has been a recurring issue for England across both the T20I and ODI formats on this tour. Jos Buttler’s side will need to address these concerns in order to find stability before heading into the Champions Trophy. A consolation win in the final ODI will give them some confidence before heading into the tournament.
Predicted England’s Playing XI for the 3rd ODI:
Jos Buttler (C), Ben Duckett, Phil Salt (WK), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood.
