The third ODI between India and England is at Lord’s today (July 19). At present this series of 3 matches is tied at 1-1. In such a situation, the team that wins today will win the trophy. Team India started the series with a win in Birmingham but England leveled the series by winning in Cardiff. The Indian team, captained by Shubman Gill, will look to end the United Kingdom (UK) tour on a happy note by winning today.
The team had earlier lost the T20 series to Ireland and England. India could not win a single T20 match on this tour. If Team India wins today, it will be the team’s first ODI series win on foreign soil under the captaincy of Shubman. With this, Shubman will join the club of legends like Mahendra Singh Dhoni by becoming the fourth Indian captain to win a bilateral ODI series in England.
