IND vs ENG 2022, 3rd ODI: Today's match players list, teams & umpires
With the three-match series tied at 1-1, India and England will have everything to play for when the teams meet in the deciding one-dayer at Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday (July 17). The two matches have so far produced one-sided encounters. The Men in Blue thumped the Englishmen by 10 wickets in the opening game. The hosts then hit back with a 100-run triumph at Lord’s. Fans will be hoping for a closer tussle in the third ODI.
India’s bowling has been impressive in both games, with pacer Jasprit Bumrah being the standout performer. He claimed his career-best figures of six for 19 at The Oval and was impressive at Lord’s as well, but did not enjoy a lot of luck. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also made an impact with a four-fer at Lord’s while Mohammad Shami has been consistent throughout.
It’s the batting that’s the worry for the visitors. Shikhar Dhawan has looked totally rusty at the top while Virat Kohli’s search for form continues. Rishabh Pant is also yet to crack the code for success in white-ball cricket.
Today's IND vs ENG toss result
India have won the toss and have decided to bowl first. Explaining his decision, captain Rohit Sharma said:
“Looks like a good batting track, nice and hard. Won't change over the course of 100 overs. We want to have a score in front of us.”
India have made one change to their playing XI. Bumrah misses out due to a niggle. Mohammed Siraj comes in.
England are going in with the same playing XI that won the Lord’s ODI.
