The highly anticipated India vs England 2nd ODI saw England set a competitive target of 305 runs, thanks to solid performances from Joe Root (69) and Ben Duckett (65).
However, India’s spinners, led by Ravindra Jadeja (3/35), halted England’s momentum, triggering a late collapse.
Opting to bat first, England’s openers provided a solid foundation, with Phil Salt and Ben Duckett putting up an 81-run partnership.
Joe Root carried the innings forward, while Jos Buttler contributed a steady 39. Liam Livingstone (41 off 32) provided late fireworks, helping England cross the 300-run mark.
However, India’s bowling attack tightened its grip, causing England to lose seven wickets for just 85 runs in the final overs.
The middle-order crumbled under spin pressure, with three run-outs adding to England’s struggles.
At the time of writing, India stands at 211/2 in 28.4 overs, requiring just 94 more runs from 21.2 overs.
With a solid run rate of 7.36, India holds a 94.03% win probability, making them the clear favorites to clinch victory.
