New Delhi: The third and decisive match of the three-match ODI series between India and England will be played on Sunday at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. Both the teams will take the field with the intention of winning the series. The Indian team, which won the first ODI, lost to England in the second match, after which the series is tied at 1-1.

Special attention on Rohit Sharma’s performance

In the third ODI, most eyes will be on Rohit Sharma. This year his performance in ODI cricket has not been as per expectations, due to which the discussion about his form has intensified. In such a situation, the Lord’s match will be a golden opportunity for Rohit to prove himself. The team will also expect big innings from captain Shubhman Gill and Virat Kohli.

There may be changes in Team India

One or two changes may be seen in the playing eleven of the Indian team. The return of KL Rahul is likely to strengthen the middle order.

Golden opportunity to win the series

The Indian team has a great opportunity to win the ODI series on foreign soil after a long time. On the other hand, England would like to take advantage of their home ground and win the series.
