India and England are all set to face each other in the 1st ODI match at Kennington Oval on Tuesday, July 12 from 5:30 pm (IST). Before heading to ODI format, India played a three-match T20I series against England where they clinched the series with 2-1 win. However, the Indian side lost the rescheduled Test earlier this month.
As the action now shifts to the 50-over format, Jos Buttler and his side will be eager to bounce back after a disappointing T20I series. The English team is bolstered by the return of their star players Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, and Ben Stokes who were terrific in the one-off Test against India, dominated by England.
