England faced India in the second ODI of the series with England winning the toss and choosing to bat first. With Jos Buttler as captain, the decision was unconventional given India’s strong bowling attack. The match took place in Cuttack, a ground known for high-scoring games.
England struggled in the middle overs and lost quick wickets, including key players like Joe Root and Jos Buttler. Ben Duckett played well, scoring a quick fifty, but was unable to find support from the rest of the team. India’s bowlers, especially Varun Chakaravarthy and Ravindra Jadeja, put pressure on England by picking up important wickets.
Despite some individual performances, England failed to capitalize on a good start and posted a below-par total. India’s strong bowling performance limited England to 287-7 in their 50 overs. India’s star players like Virat Kohli made a comeback in the team, while Varun Chakaravarthy made his ODI debut.
The series remains at stake for England, with another potential series loss looming. India’s dominant performance in the second ODI puts them in a strong position as they look to seal the series in the upcoming matches. The next game will be crucial for England to bounce back and stay alive in the series.
