India will be looking to make a comeback here to clinch the ODI series. The series is quite poised at the moment and both teams would be desperate to give in their best. A great contest is anticipated once again here between these two top-quality sides. India and England locked horns with each other in 105 games in ODIs earlier and the visitors are having a 56-44 lead in the head-to-head contest.
England
The hosts might field an unchanged eleven as they did in the previous game. In the last second ODI, despite the fact that some of the batters failed to do much as the all-rounders scored quite a lot of runs and in the bowling department, Reece Topley gave no breathing room for the Indian batter.
Probable XI: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Craig Overton, David Willey, Brydon Carse, Reece Topley.
India
This will be Virat Kohli’s last game before he will be going on a break from the West Indies series while Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Shami will also be rested for the West Indies ODIs. India too might possibly go unchanged.
Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna.
Fantasy XI Suggestion 1:
Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali (vc), Hardik Pandya, Reece Topley, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal
Fantasy XI Suggestion 2:
Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, David Willey, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal (vc)
