IND vs ENG Today Match Prediction : India will take on England in the first ODI match at MCA Stadium in Pune on 23 March. Both the sides just played five match T20I series which India won by 3-2 and are carrying the winning momentum and will hope their good form will continue. On the other side, England who are current World Champions will look to do much better in this series.
Here we are going to discuss strengths and weakness of India as well as of England and will also make our IND vs ENG Today Match Prediction
Strengths :
India’s strength is their batting line up as they have a fantastic opener pair in Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan and then Kohli at number three and these three batsmen are backbone of India’s ODI batting line up and then have Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya in middle and lower order who are attacking batsmen especially Pant and Pandya. In bowling Bhuvneshwar Kkumar and Shardul Thakur who had good T20I series will be key once again with support from Hardik and then have spinners Chahal or Kuldeep Yadav who both have been good in this format.
On the other side, England’s strength is also their batting line up of Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes and Sam Billings and all these batsmen are match winners in this format and bat with aggressive approach which has been successful for them and then in bowling Mark Wood and Adil Rashid will be the leader of attack who both troubled Indian batsmen in T20I series.
Weaknesses :
India don’t have much weakness but the absence of Bumrah has weakened the pace department, Yuzvendra Chahal is coming with a poor T20I series and Kuldeep Yadav hasn’t played a game for a while and thus the bowling isn’t looking solid at the moment.
On the other side, England is also without Jofra Archer so bowling can be a cause of concern for them.
