The third match of the series between India and England is to be played at Old Trafford, Manchester on Sunday. With the series tied at 1-1, the significance of the final ODI is immense.
Rohit Sharma’s team got off to a positive start after claiming a 10-wicket win in the first match. The English team wrote a script for a quick comeback in the second match to stay alive in the series. The Jos Buttler-led side won the second match by 100 runs to level the series.
Team India performed brilliantly in the recently concluded T20 series against England. India had managed to beat their English opponents 2-1 in the T20I series. The visiting team will now look to maintain their winning streak and seal the ODI series in the same manner.
For England captain Jos Buttler, victory in the T20 series means a lot. Buttler failed to kick off his stint as England’s white-ball captain on a bad note after conceding defeat in the T20I series against India. Another defeat in the ongoing ODI series against India will put enormous pressure on him and on his captaincy.
India and England last met in an ODI series last year. The Virat Kohli-led side won the three-match series 2-1.
