Hello and welcome to Cricket Addictor! I’m Praveen, and today we bring you England’s Playing XI for the 3rd ODI against India! With the series already sealed by India, can England bounce back? Let’s find out!
England’s Probable Playing XI 🏏
Openers: Philip Salt (WK), Ben Duckett
Salt and Duckett have been England’s most consistent performers at the top. They put up another solid 81-run stand in the 2nd ODI, with Duckett scoring 65 off 56 balls. Can they give England a flying start again?
Middle-Order & All-Rounders: Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (C), Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton
Joe Root (69 in 2nd ODI) will be key in anchoring the innings.
Jos Buttler (34), Brook (31), and Livingstone (41) played handy knocks but need to convert starts into big scores.
Jamie Overton, despite struggling with the bat, is expected to retain his spot after taking 2 wickets for 27 runs in the last game.
Bowlers: Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Jofra Archer, Saqib Mahmood
Jofra Archer is likely to replace Gus Atkinson, who conceded 65 runs in 7 overs in the 2nd ODI.
Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, and Saqib Mahmood are expected to retain their places.
