India vs England 3rd ODI Match Preview: Squads, Pitch Report and Streaming Details

India vs England 3rd ODI Match: India returns to the hallowed halls of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for the third and final ODI match of the series against England. This is the first time that the Indian team will play at the venue since their ODI World Cup final loss against Australia on November 19, 2023.

India had won both the first matches of the series by four wickets. Team India has performed well in all three departments so far. India's bowling attack has been strengthened with the inclusion of spinner Varun Chakraborty in the team and the return of fast bowler Mohammed Shami.

This 3rd ODI match is going to be very exciting despite being the last match of the series. While India will try to make a clean sweep, England will want to break this losing streak and gain confidence before the Champions Trophy 2025.

Team India has to play this last ODI match before the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, Team India can test its bench strength in the last match. Those players can get a chance in this match who are part of Team India in the Champions Trophy and have not got a chance to play.

Rohit may have returned to form, but star batsman Virat Kohli's failure to score runs continues. Kohli did not play in the first match due to a knee injury, while he was dismissed cheaply in the second match. India will also expect a good innings from Shreyas Iyer in the middle order. Sending all-rounder Akshar Patel to bat at number five has proved right so far. The left-handed batsman has scored 52 and an unbeaten 42 in the first two matches. Patel's good batting performance would have reduced some pressure on Ravindra Jadeja, who has taken six wickets in the series so far. Indian players have performed well so far on wickets that help spin bowlers. They are likely to get similar conditions in Dubai in the Champions Trophy.

On the other hand, for Jos Butter’s England, this tour has raised more questions than they would have expected. England have suffered repeated implosions in their core batting line-up across the T20Is and ODIs which has undone the impressive work that the opening pair of Phil Salt and Ben Duckett has been putting up.

Spin bowlers can get help in Ahmedabad. Actually, statistics show that the ball stops on this pitch, which makes the job easier for spinners. However, statistics of recent matches show that there is a rain of runs on this pitch. Batsmen easily score runs on this pitch, it is easy to hit shots.
