ENG vs IND 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
After the visitors won the IT20 series 2-1, England and India go head to head again, this time in an ODI series. The first game takes place on Tuesday afternoon at The Oval, London. England have played only three ODIs during the last year and they all came last month against the Netherlands. India last played this format against West Indies in February. Read on as we preview this game. This day-night ODI begins at 13:00 local time.
England were in excellent form on their recent trip to the Netherlands in this format of the game. However, India will be a much tougher opponent and will push England all the way.
India will come into this series full of confidence after winning the IT20 series 2-1. The visitors have a squad full of players with exceptional white ball skills.

ENG vs IND Match Toss Prediction
Although there will be a temptation to bat first and post big in the first innings, we predict that both skippers will be wary of an increase in humidity later on in the match and will not want to field second.
ENG vs IND Pitch Report
The Oval has always had a reputation for producing hard and bouncy wickets. We have seen plenty of high scoring games in the T20 Blast at this venue this year although the pace bowlers have always been dangerous.
Weather Report
The UK heatwave will continue through this game. Although there may be plenty of cloud cover, expect the temperature to remain in the 30s throughout.

England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
England were not far off their best XI available during the T20I series with only all-rounder Ben Stokes a likely addition to the side. He comes back into the squad for this series with Joe Root to make a very strong batting line-up. Long-term injuries to Jofra Archer, Chris Woakes and Ollie Stone mean that England are not at full strength.
ENG Key Players
- Jonny Bairstow - Although he has been a star of the white-ball side for the last five years, Bairstow’s Test form is so impressive that he has now scored more Test tons than ODI tons.
- Joe Root - We saw that Root has added some pro-active T20 style batting to his game with some of his shots in Tests this summer. He is a very reliable ODI batter and is in exceptional form.
- Brydon Carse - The right arm pace bowler took 3-85 across two games in the Netherlands. He will certainly enjoy the surface and pitch conditions in South London.
ENG Team Form
England have won their last seven games in this format with their last defeat coming against India in Pune in March 2021.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy, Joe Root, Liam Livingstone, Jos Buttler (c) (wk), Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Byrdon Carse, Matt Parkinson, Reece Topley
India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
The strength in depth across all formats is a pretty scary proposition for all of India’s opposition. Even before bringing the top players into the IT20 side on Saturday, they had already registered one impressive win in the series.There are no injury worries in the squad ahead of this match.
IND Key Players
- Rohit Sharma - The outwardly relaxed captain has an incredible ODI batting record. He has a top score of 264, hit against Sri Lanka in 2014, in this format.
- Suryakumar Yadav - The 31 year old middle-order batter scored his first international century on Saturday at Trent Bridge. His 117 came from only 55 balls.
- Mohammed Shami - The vastly experienced bowler is comfortable performing for India across all formats. His best ODI figures are 5-69.
IND Team Form
India were dominant in their last ODI series against West Indies. However, they lost their last away ODI series 3-0 to South Africa in January.
India Predicted Playing 11
Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli/Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah/Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami
