IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction: 2nd ODI India vs England

74

This is IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction. It will be the second match of the ODI Series. India will take on England in the second ODI of the tour. This match will be played at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack. The match will be played on 9th February 2025 at 1:30 PM IST. 

Overall, India has had the wood over England in the 50-over format, having won 59 of the 108 ODIs the two teams have played against each other. Half-centuries by Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel backed up the fine effort by the bowlers and the fielders as India overhauled England’s total with 68 balls to spare and four wickets in hand in the first ODI in Nagpur.

England started off well after opting to bat with a 75-run opening stand but that was broken with a runout and England lost three dismissals in a space of seven deliveries after that. They could not recover from that and posted a below-par total which was chased down easily despite losing a couple of early wickets. England will be keen to bounce back and keep the series alive while India will be aiming  to clinch it. This promises to be a thrilling match between these two high-quality teams.
