The hosts have taken the lead in the series by winning the first game by 4 wickets. A win in the upcoming game will seal the series for Team India.
The upcoming 2nd IND vs ENG ODI will be played on Sunday (February 9) at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. The match will be played from 01:30 PM (IST).
England:
Jos Buttler (C), Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingstone, Brydon Carse, Jamie Overton, Jamie Smith, Philip Salt, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Mark Wood
The battle between Phil Salt and Mohammed Shami could set the tone for the rest of the innings. Salt has looked in good touch in recent games and it seems like a big score is just around the corner.
India would be hoping that Salt plays as few deliveries as possible and will be relying on Mohammed Shami for his wicket.
Rohit Sharma vs Jofra Archer:
With Rohit struggling with his form, Jofra Archer will be fancying his chances of getting him out early in the upcoming game. Archer has looked in good rhythm with the new ball on this tour and will be hoping to pick up the prized scalp of Rohit.
Round one of this battle was won by Ravindra Jadeja during the first ODI in Nagpur earlier this week. Root got the start with the bat and was batting on 19 when Jadeja trapped him in front of the stumps and sent him back.
IND vs ENG Key Players
IND - Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, and Ravindra Jadeja will be the key players for India.
IND vs ENG Weather And Pitch Report:
The weather report is very promising for the upcoming game in Cuttack. While there is a slight chance of rain on the match day, it is likely to happen early in the morning.
As far as the pitch is concerned, it could turn out to be a belter. The last time India and England played an ODI against each other at the venue, it was a high-scoring game.
Conclusion:
The series will be at stake in the upcoming second IND vs ENG ODI. India will be keen to wrap up the series by winning the upcoming game and going to the Champions Trophy full of confidence.
On the other hand, England will be desperate to turn things around and win the game to not only keep the series alive but also get some much-needed winning momentum on their side ahead of the Champions Trophy.
