🏏India tour of England, 2026: England vs India, 2nd ODI, Cardiff,🏏 - Page 2

Bowlers to Watch

Jofra Archer: Archer remains England's strike pacer. The extra bounce at Cardiff could help him trouble India's top order during the powerplay.

Jasprit Bumrah: Bumrah bowled brilliantly in the first ODI despite picking up only one wicket. His economy and wicket-taking ability make him a top fantasy choice.

Adil Rashid: Rashid is expected to bowl his full quota of overs, and the surface should assist his leg-spin. He could pick up multiple wickets.

Head-to-Head Record: India vs England

India and England have faced each other 111 times in ODI cricket. India have won 62 matches, while England have won 44. Two matches ended in a tie, and three produced no result. In England, the two teams have met 46 times. India have won 19 matches, while England have won 23. One match ended in a tie and three finished without a result.

Over the last five years, India have dominated the rivalry, winning seven ODIs compared to England's one victory.

Match Prediction: Who Has the Upper Hand?

Sophia Gardens offers good bounce and carry for fast bowlers while also assisting spinners as the match progresses. The relatively longer boundaries make 300-plus totals less common than at other English venues.

Shubman Gill's fitness will be crucial for India. If he is available, India's batting unit looks well-balanced with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The bowling attack could also benefit from the inclusion of Arshdeep Singh.

England, however, have several in-form players, including Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jofra Archer and Sam Curran, giving them a balanced side capable of challenging India. India hold a slight advantage because of their confidence after winning the first ODI. If they bowl first and chase again, they could have the edge.
