IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, Top Fantasy Picks: 1st ODI
Hello and welcome to our IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, Match Preview, and Probable Playing 11. We are covering India vs England 1st ODI Match Preview of the England Tour of India, 2025. This match will be played at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur.
India
The Men in Blue has been phenomenal in the T20I series and now it is time for ODI’s. India will be playing a three-match ODI series, and the best part is some of the star players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant with a ton of experience, are back in the squad.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will get enough matches before the champions trophy, and it’s a good sign. The skipper Rohit will have a good headache to pick the best playing 11 and mind it he will also consider the upcoming Champions trophy.
India’s bowling attack will be without Jasprit Bumrah, and this weakens the bowling department. However, Mohammad Shami, Harshit Rana, and Arshdeep Singh will take charge.
England
If we leave one match, England struggled in the shortest format. Now, the English will have a good chance to start fresh and prepare for the Champions trophy.
This three-match series will be an advantage for England as in the upcoming Champions trophy they will play in similar conditions.
Joe Root has been included in the squad, and the right-handed batter could play the batter anchor role.
Philip Salt, the right-handed batter, couldn’t make much impact in the T20I but he could be dangerous in the ODI.
England will be batting with a strong batting lineup but the real question is can England’s batting lineup has the ability to handle the spin attack of the Indian team?
