Preview:
England will take on India in the first match of the ODI series on Tuesday at Kennington Oval Stadium in London. Following an entertaining T20I series, England and India will now square off in the ODI format. With Chris Jordan and Richard Gleeson unavailable for the game, England lacks a few top T20I performers in their ODI squad. They do, however, have a well-balanced side to fall back on and will start as favorites against India, who are coming off a loss in the third T20I. With players like Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya in good form, India will fancy their chances of dethroning the world champion in what should be a fun game in London.

ENG vs IND, Match 1 Pitch Report:
A good batting track is expected at London’s Kennington Oval Stadium, with decent help available for bowlers. The new ball should shake things up early on, keeping the batters guessing. Despite some turns for the spinners, the pitch should ease out as the match progresses. Wickets in hand will be crucial, as both teams are likely to prefer chasing under lights.

Top Picks for ENG vs IND 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket:
Virat Kohli struggled in the T20I series, failing to get going in the powerplay and middle overs. A change in format, on the other hand, should benefit Kohli, who will look to end the 71st-century drought. He has scored 12311 runs at an excellent average of 58.07 in 260 ODI games.
Rohit Sharma, like Kohli, had a poor T20I series. However, Rohit is one of the better ODI players, and his record speaks for itself. He has amassed 9283 runs at an outstanding average of 48.60 in 230 ODI games.
Jonny Bairstow is possibly England’s most valuable white-ball batter right now. His attacking style and accuracy in the middle overs have been beneficial to England. He has scored 3498 runs at an impressive average of 47.96 in 89 ODI games.
