India vs England 1st ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
India dominated England in the Tests but the T20I series saw England match Kohli’s men neck and neck. Both teams are among the best ODI teams thus the series promises to be another hard fought battle. Read our preview for 1st ODI that gets underway at 1:30 PM local time at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
England are currently the No 1 ODI team in world cricket but they’ll not start the ODI series as favourites. They might struggle to win even a single game in the series. While this seems a bit too optimistic, we have a solid reason to back our claims. The prime reason is the form of Virat Kohli. This is probably the first time in over the year that Kohli has looked so fluent. He gave glimpses of the Kohli we were used to seeing.
When in flow, Kohli is unstoppable and given his form, we’ll back him to end his century drought in the ODI series. Other than him, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer also looked in prime form. In the bowling department, Bhuveneshwar Kumar got the ball to move, Shardul Thakur also bowled well in pressure situation. Overall, we think India have all their bases covered.
Now let’s analyse England’s batting. They did get off to a solid start in every game but every time they needed their middle order to step up, they were left disappointed. Morgan, Bairstow, even Stokes, the pillars of their batting, have looked pretty ordinary. Jason Roy has failed to convert his start into big scores. The brand of cricket England play might work in England, where the pace and bounce is consistent, but in India, on slow wickets, against quality spinners, this won’t work on most occasions. Also, the loss of Jofra Archer is a massive blow.

IND vs ENG Toss Prediction
Dew can be a factor in the match thus we think that the skipper that wins the toss might opt to chase.
Pitch Report
The pitch is expected to be a good cricketing wicket. The might might move in the first few overs while the spinners might come in to the game later in the innings.
Weather Report
The weather looks good with bright sunshine. The temperatures will hover around 30 degrees

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
Suryakumar Yadav, Prasidh Krishna and Krunal Pandya are in line to make their ODI debuts in the series. Also, the series will mark the return of players like Bhuveneshwar Kumar, Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma, who were not part of the squad in Australia.
IND Key Players
Rohit Sharma - Rohit Sharma is one of the best batsmen going around in world cricket. He was the best Indian batsmen in the Test series and played a whirlwindling knock of 64 in the final T20I. He is expected to start well.
Virat Kohli - Virat Kohli is back to his brutal best. The Indian skipper was in red hot form in the T20I series and will look to end his century drought in the ODIs
Bhuveneshwar Kumar - India’s lead pacer was able to move the ball both ways in the T20Is. He can be deadly with the new ball.
IND Team Form
India’s last ODI series was against Australia which they lost 2-1. However, the team is coming back from a magnificent T20I series win over the same opposition.
IND vs ENG Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
Jos Buttlet at 9.0 Rishabh Pant at 8.5 are great selections. Pant has been in top form in all formats and can be backed to come good in the ODIs while Buttler also looked his decent touch in the T20Is. He is a batsmen that can be hard to stop on his day
Batsmen
Rohit Sharma at 10, Virat Kohli at 10 and Jason Roy at 9.0 will be our batsmen. Sharma blasted a 34 ball 64 in the final T20. He was in fine form in the Tests as well. Kohli is back to form and was India’s leading run scorer of the T20I series. Jason Roy was the best England batsmen in the T20I series. However, he would like to bat for a little longer period of time.
All-rounders
Ben Stokes at 10, Hardik Pandya at 9.0 and Sam Curran at 8.5 are valuable additions. Pandya bowled his full quota of overs in the T20Is which is a great sign for India. He also looked good with the bat in the final T20I. Curran can also be crucial with the new ball as he can swing the ball. He is also a handy batsman. Stokes will be the key player for England, both with the bat and ball.
Bowlers
Bhuveneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal and Mark Wood at 8.5 will complete our team. Mark Wood troubled the Indian batsmen with his pace so he’ll be key for England in the absence of Archer while Bhuveneshwar Kumar was getting the ball to move in the T20Is so he’ll pose a stern challenge to the England batsmen. Chahal will feel more comfortable in the ODIs and is expected to perform well.
Captain/Vice-captain
Virat Kohli will be our skipper while Ben Stokes can be backed as his deputy
IND vs ENG Dream11 Team Prediction
Batsmen:Virat Kohli(c), Rohit Sharma, Jason Roy
All Rounder:Hardik Pandya, Ben Stokes(vc), Sam Curran
Wicket Keeper:Rishabh Pant, Jos Buttler
Bowler:Bhuveneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mark Wood
England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
Jofra Archer has been ruled out of the ODI squad. Also, England will be without the services of Joe Root, who has not returned to India after flying back home post the Test series.
ENG Key Players
Jason Roy - Jason Roy looked in fine form in the ODI series. However, he failed to put up big scores even after getting decent starts. However, he’ll look to rectify that in the ODIs
Eoin Morgan - Eoin Morgan looked out of touch in the T20Is but he’ll prefer the longer format as it will give him an opportunity to get set. He’s a crucial cog in this English set up as he can play a sheet anchor role and bat throughout the inning
Mark Wood - Wood generated some serious pace in the T20I series and troubled the Indian batsmen. We expect him to continue his form in the ODIs as well.
ENG Team Form
England too lost 2-1 to Australia in their previous ODI series. Their only worry will be the form of players like Eon Morgan, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes, who didn’t performed well in the T20I series
England Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Jos Buttler(wk), Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Eoin Morgan(C), Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Matthew Parkinson, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

The home side are favourites to win the final game and triumph in the series
Who will win India vs England 1st ODI?
According to the bookmakers, there is not much between the sides but India have the edge.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are the three batsmen that are expected to do well for India. Sharma was the best Indian batsmen in tests and looked in devastating form in the final T20. Kohli, on the other hand, has regained his form and will be very hard to stop. Rahul is another batsmen that will be eager to do well after a poor T20I series.
For England, Jason Roy will look to convert his starts into a big score while Stokes and Buttler are also expected to fair better. Though they were inconsistent, they played some impactful knocks and can be very dangerous on their day.
Bhuveneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Siraj and Yuzvendra Chahal are the three Indian bowlers we will back. Kumar was getting the ball to move in the T20Is and will be a threat in ODIs as well while Chahal will feel more comfortable in the longer format and is expected to perform well.
For England, Mark Wood was in fine form in the T20Is while Sam Curran can also be handy with his left arm swing bowling. The pitch is expected to turn at some time and Rashid will be very handy.
Indian batsmen looked in fine form in the T20Is which is great news. England, on the other hand, will be concerned about their vulnerable batting order. The pitch might also not be feasible for the kind of attacking cricket they play. For us, India are big favourites
