India and England will play their third One-Day International (ODI) in Ahmedabad on February 12, 2025, as part of their last round of preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
India crushed England by 142 runs in the third ODI, sweeping the series 3-0. Axar Patel took the final wicket, dismissing Gus Atkinson. Earlier, India set a massive target of 356 runs after batting first in Ahmedabad.
Team India is going to face Team England in the third and final match of the IND V/S ENG ODI series on Wednesday, held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, providing both teams with a chance to finalise preparations for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. India, having won the first two ODIs by 4 wickets each, aims to conclude the series positively by claiming the title of this event. The match offers an opportunity for experimentation with the playing XI, particularly the potential selection of Rishabh Pant over KL Rahul. With Jasprit Bumrah unavailable due to injury both in ODI and Champion Trophy, Harshit Rana’s role becomes important in the bowling lineup.
IND V/S ENG LIVE: India claimed a total score of 356 runs after being asked to bat first by team England in the 3rd ODI. India lost Rohit Sharma early to Mark Wood before Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli led a steady recovery. Gill scored a century to help India reach the mark. At the same time, players like Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul contributed to India’s total with valuable knocks of their own. Kohli knocked a half-century, announcing his return in form ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy.
India has made three changes to their playing XI, while England has one change today.
